Aussie tradies are known for their hardworking nature and can-do attitude, but one tradie’s shocking act at a local Subway store has sparked a huge reaction.

Sharing on social media, a passer-by posted photos of the tradie’s pair of dusty boots left just by the store entrance in an apparent attempt at minimising the spread of dirt.

'Highly respect the tradie who took off his dirty boots before heading into Subway,' one person said.

The post received a positive response from people online, with others praising the tradie for his thoughtful action.

'I work in a workwear and safety shop, and I give a sneaky discount to those tradies who take their dirty boots off,' another comment said.

'I have to vacuum the floor after the filthy buggers who trample dirt and mud all through my shop, so I reward the good ones who are respectful.'

One person added: 'I would hire this guy because he knows how to care about people who like things clean.'

A third wrote: 'Not too many positive posts about Tradies on social media! That bloke has been raised right.'

One more added: 'Oh my God—tradies who do this! Angels in hi-vis.'

Some tradies also commented that they do the same thing when they enter houses or business establishments.

'I always do the same,' one tradie said. 'I also take off my shorts and shirt too, as they are usually covered in muck.'

Another added: 'Part of my job has me going into people’s houses—I take my shoes off before entry, and I carry a towel and wipe the floor as I leave if it’s been raining and I’m wet.'

One person said: 'This is really common in small towns. I see it pretty often, especially in winter. It’s usually either farmers or tradies.'

A couple of responses also warned tradies that leaving their expensive boots outside is not always wise.

'Don’t recommend doing this in all areas,' one commenter warned. 'There are certain Subways where if you did this those shoes would vanish in .5 seconds.'

Another added: 'We once did this for lunch. Whilst we were in there, one pair of boots got stolen...and the other got p***ed on by a cat.'

The community on social media was quick to offer support to the tradie, with one commenter saying, 'It’s a sign of respect by taking his muddy boots off before entering a shop, so hopefully he has a decent pair to replace them in case of theft.'

Key Takeaways

• A tradie has been praised on social media for leaving his dirty footwear outside before entering a Subway restaurant in Oxley, Queensland.
• The post attracted a largely positive response, many commending the worker's thoughtful and respectful action.

I had one ask me for a broom when he’d finished. I thanked him and told him that I had nothing to do. Wish the husband had heard him.

My guess would be this guy was brought up to respect other people's properties, or, has a wife who has converted him. It's really good to see. Someone has to clean the floor at the end of business. It makes all the difference if they don't have to deal with mud, cement, tar, and the like.
Most people to come to my home have taken dirty shoes off. However, I don't insist on everyone doing so if their shoes are OK. The only people I ask to remove shoes are ladies with stiletto shoes. They don't go well on timber floors.

And piss in the sockets. One of Mum's favourite sayings!

I some times perspirsevely leave old saws unfinished to give others the opportunity to finish the saying and sometimes I just forget. The do say that as you get older two things happen, firstly you start to start to forget, secondly you

Polished timber floors and sandy feet from the beach didn't go down with me, especially in high traffic areas. Forever buffing and rebuffing!

What a thoughtful tradie, I take my hat of them them for their caring.

When we had our Reno business we would also do this. Also cleaned up on the job every day before leaving.
Plumbers and electricians are the worst for leaving their rubbish behind. Always found myself cleaning up their rubbish along with our own.
Had several thank you letters from clients who appreciated that we left their home tidy each day.
We had that business for 5 years, only advertised once when first starting up and after that all work came by word of mouth
After that we moved on to flipping houses, so much easier working on your own projects.
