Barefooted man beats the 'no shoe' policy with sneaky trick

This is the perfect example of perspective and how sometimes we only see what we want to see.

There's a fine line between what our brain sees at first glance and what we notice when we really pay attention. Sometimes, our brains can play tricks on us, and we don't realise it till later. 

That’s exactly what happened to employees at a McDonald's in Australia when they assumed one of their customers was wearing flip-flops. 

Normally, no one would pay close attention to what every customer is wearing on their feet, but in this case, the restaurant has a strict "no shoe" policy, so employees need to stay alert. 

A barefoot Australian man was filmed waiting in the line at the McDonald's, and what appeared to be flip-flops on his feet turned out to be something quite unexpected.

The man wouldn't have been able to enter the fast food restaurant without shoes due to its "no shoe" policy, so he came up with an inventive solution: the straw-wrapping sandal. 

He cleverly fashioned the straps of flip-flops using straw wrappings over his feet. The result looked surprisingly convincing, fooling everyone into thinking he was wearing actual flip-flops.

Luckily, someone was paying close attention, noticed what he had done, and shared the video online.
