Keep Your Bare Feet Off Of The Roosevelt Island Starbucks Tables Please

It's almost summer and hot outside. Many people are wearing sandals and flip flops for comfort, relief from the heat and style. Unfortunately, some people choose to relax in a restaurant or coffee shop by removing their sandals or flip flops and plunking their bare dirty feet right on top of tables or chairs that others use as this person did at the Roosevelt Island Starbucks over the Memorial Day weekend.

Not very considerate behavior or sanitary at all.

Yahoo Answers received a question on this topic recently: 

Why do girls put their bare feet on the coffee table at Starbucks?

Don't get me wrong. I think most of the ones who do it are gorgeous, and they have pretty feet. But isn't putting your bare feet on the coffee table at Starbucks a bit awkward and unsanitary? I often see college aged girls purchasing their lattes before walking over to the couch area, slipping off their rainbow flip flops and resting their bare feet on the coffee table like it's a foot stool, while reading a book or studying.

Isn't putting your bare feet on the coffee table as unsanitary as putting your feet on the coffee table with flip flops on because of all the germs involved? I will admit that there's something attractive about a girl who's confident enough about her feet to rest them on a table where everyone can see, but at the same time, I also find it somewhat gross since people eat and drink off that same table.

Most of the answers were similar to this one:

No matter if they're bare or not, it is rude, rude, rude to put your feet up on a table where others may put their food or beverages. Period. The employees should be going around telling them to please remove their feet--they are not in their private homes--and immediately wipe the tables.

That's vulgar, disgusting, and completely low class.

ADDED:

This really started to bug me. LOL! So, I emailed corporate and they asked for the store where this was going on. Apparently, the employees are supposed to stop people from doing this, as they see it the same way I do. Of course I couldn't tell them, but by all means you should go to the Starbucks site and send an email. There may be no explanation for why people so rudely do this in their me-centric little world, but you can call it to the attention of management.
