I don't mind shoes. But then again I always just say that the cleaning lady will deal with it when she comes. I know that will have to change once LO is crawling all over my floors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80901 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:40:47 +0000 chopsuey 80901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I don't.. sometimes Iw ill though. WHen I used to live in an apartment I'd have hospital booties for them to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80882 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:33:24 +0000 MsMini 80882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never ask them to remove them, because it is workplace health and safety code in my province, that all workers must wear shoes at all times, and I wouldn't ask a worker to do something to could void their Workers Compensation payments if they were to get injured working in my home. I make friends and family remove their shoes though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80844 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:09:32 +0000 Andrea 80844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: haha. are you hiding your ipad under blankets? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80839 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:08:28 +0000 mrbee 80839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: typing on iPad.

So I bought these shoe covers on Amazon and make work people put them on. They usually appreciate it and man, so do i!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Polypropylene-Covers-100-Pack-DSC100/dp/B000ICKO88" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Polypropylene-Covers-100-Pack-DSC100/dp/B000ICKO88</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80812 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:52:43 +0000 mediagirl 80812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most won't take their shoes off because the job tells them not to. You can ask them to put on booties over their work boots, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-workmen-or-women-take-off-their-shoes-in-your-house#post-80806 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 19:50:37 +0000 Andrea 80806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For example, today the Verizon guy came to install a new cable card in our Tivo - can I make him take off his shoes? He was in and out of the house for maybe 3 or 4 times getting stuff out of his van so it would have been annoying to put his shoes on and off. I always want to ask people to take off their shoes but I ultimately do not because I don't want to be annoying. What do you do in situations like that? </p>
