Yeah, in terms of pedicures, what happened to Susan is a rare exception.

Most places are pretty cool. If there's a foot soaking spa, ask them what they use to keep everything like their plumbing, etc sanitary. Also, the stuff they use on you should be sterilized, just like when you get a manicure or acrylics. If that's the case, it will likely be in its own kit.

Don't let them "cut" your feet in any way. While some people may have calloused feet, it's unnecessary and often unsanitary to slice the stuff away. There are slower, kinder, at-home methods to help take care of that. Some people like it done... but I've seen your feet, the chances of you needing it are almost nil.

Oh, and if I were giving Susan a pedicure, I'd kiss the tops of her feet as well.

RAWR

Just kidding, of course... There has to be a reward or something at stake for me to put my face near anyone's foot

This reminds me - I think I'm going to get a pedicure once this week is over.
