I remember a restaurant not wanting to admit me because I was wearing sandals instead of shoes. I would have left them have their way - it is up to them to have a strict code for admission or not - but a friend made a huge scandal about it.
This happened in Santa Cruz. I have been told that in that city (Bolivia's second-largest city) banks would not admit clients with sport shoes, for instance!
