Shoes at the Bank

On Tuesday morning, I went to the bank.
It was raining, so my shoes were very dirty.
Because I did not want to go inside with dirty shoes, I took off my shoes at the entrance.
A bank employee said, โ€œPlease do not take off your shoes here.โ€
So, I cleaned my shoes outside.
Then I put my shoes back on and went into the bank.
