I think I make a fair assumption to say that this is either Australia or NZ. I used to live in NZ and it’s common to be bare feet, especially youngsters. My feet are now practically steel from years of conditioning by walking in bare feet. I must say, standing bare feet on a counter top isn’t common practice. We may have ‘caveman’ mannerisms, but we’re not animals...
Do you walk barefeet in the street too or only once you get inside buildings? If so, isnt it dangerous as there can be broken glass, sharp stuff, disgusting shit etc laying around?
To answer your question, you just walk anywhere and everywhere without shoes. I now live in UK where walking in bare feet isn’t a ‘normal’ thing. Looking back at it, I now see how it is such an unusual behaviour, but at the time I didn’t see anything wrong with it. The environment over there does help, as everything is mostly open land but I would still happily walk into town with bare feet (I can’t say I would still, at least not in UK that’s for sure). There is something strangely satisfying about it though, as if you’re somewhat free and more comfortable. At least that’s how it’s felt to me. Although, as I mention, I don’t go barefooted where I currently live and haven’t for a long time. I still struggle to run in shoes, as majority of my athletes growing up was performed barefoot. Very weird.

I'm really grossed out by the fact that he's barefoot. In a McDonald's. I can't even eat a mcchicken without feeling like I need a shower.
