Yes, I've gone barefoot to grocery stores. Not frequently, but sometimes during off hours when it's less busy. I'm not too fond of going barefoot to grocery stores because so many have freezing cold floors -- especially near the refrigerator cases. I've been barefoot in all sorts of stores, like Ace Hardware, Lowe's, Walgreen's, CVS, Target, White Castle, Wendy's, many Mom and Pop stores, outdoor shopping malls, and even Ikea. I've never had a problem from either another customer or store personnel, except at Home Depot, which has a specific policy posted at the door, which I failed to notice. For the record, Target has the cleanest floors on Earth.

I've gone barefoot to every supermarket, grocery store, and every other store or business I've visited in well over ten years. It is not dangerous or gross; feet get very tough very quickly, our skin is made to keep pathogens out, and feet are fully washable. Also it's not unsanitary for anyone else; germs don't jump and they're no more likely to get onto the food from the skin of a bare foot than from the sole of a shoe or from the exposed skin of a sandalled foot (or any other bare skin at floor level).
And in spite of persistent myths, it is not against Health Department rules to go barefoot in stores and restaurants, and insurance companies don't require or even recommend footwear for customers. Only in the US are these anti-barefoot biases commonly believed; here in the Netherlands I've never even SEEN a 'no shoes, no shirts, no service' sign, nor on my trips to Belgium & Scotland. Whatever anyone is wearing or not wearing on their feet is a non-issue with management and other customers, as it should be.

I took my Mom grocery shopping once when I was barefoot and I asked her if it would bother her if it would bother her if I'm barefoot. She said,you do what feels good. So I shopped barefoot with her. I go barefoot in grocery stores whenever I can.

I always do. I hate shopping, and I hate shoes. This way at least I can be happy while having to go to the store.
I have to argue sometimes with the workers, and sometimes have to switch stores, but I would never want to stop going barefoot.
