Somethings I understand such as they want thicker materials because of hot food and drinks. However idk why they care so much about hooded tops and footwear. The customers don’t see our feet they won’t know if we wear hot pink shoes and it doesn’t distract from the apron???

Overall yea, but when I started in 2015 we couldn’t wear jeans or tshirts, so I guess I’m thankful for not having to ruin my nice clothes making coffee anymore lol.

Everything used to be black and collared sooo I’m good.

I get what you’re saying, but it’s one of those things that are in place to maintain the Pizazz! of buying a $5 latte.

Would you rather wear an itchy uniform that you have to wash every day else it’ll get rank with your stress juice, or just wear your own clothes but specifically the appropriate colors/patterns?

Consider it from that angle. Which is better?

It used to be you had to wear all black

From other jobs I’ve worked I’m happy to wear jeans and a t shirt. Seems pretty lax

I was only allowed to wear a dress or pants suit at my last job. Most places require the same shirt and only like five different colored pants but all the same material. I think Starbucks is pretty lax as is. Never worked at any fast food place where they allow crazy hair colors and piercings and tattoos. But maybe you’re right, maybe everywhere in general should just let you wear almost anything you want.

Dude this is lax. when I started it was kakis and polos or nice blouses. They also only allowed natural colored hair, all tattoos had to be hidden and no facial piercing, and expensive and ugly ass work shoes you either bought from Starbucks or spent a small fortune on elsewhere. Now we can have colored hair, beanies, more of a color range, 1 facial piercing, tattoos can be visible as long as appropriate and not on face and certain sneaker styles so this is much better.

overall yeah, but tbh, compared to how it was before i started ill take this lol
