> Are you wearing flip-flops when you interview them?
Yes, in the summer I wear flip flops when I interview people. Flip flops and shorts are within the range of regular informal clothing at my workplace, and people don't dress differently on days when they're interviewing people.
> Do you tell them in advance to feel free to wear flip-flops?
I don't talk to them in advance of the interview. I'm not sure what recruiters/friends/etc tell candidates about what's customary, but I do think many people get advice like "you don't have to dress up, wear whatever you normally do".
> You just moved the goalposts.
I'm not trying to move the goal posts. I'm still talking about flip flops and shorts.
