Starbucks put new limits starting Monday on what its baristas can wear under their green aprons. The dress code requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms.
Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Starbucks said the new rules would make its green aprons stand out and create a sense of familiarity for customers as it tries to establish a warmer, more welcoming feeling in its stores.
I actively avoid going to any businesses that have any sort of corporate dress code.
Isn’t that like 99.9% of businesses or something. Even mom-and-pop shops get uniforms for their employees.
Your locality may be different, but my local restaurants and businesses all just have employees that wear whatever.
I’ve worn company issued shirts with my name sewn on them. Honestly they can stop bitching.
difference is, Starbucks ain’t paying for this uniform
I’m in the South (US) and we’re more casual. I’d be appalled if a shit job required much of a dress code. Now that I think on it, I’m not sure I can name a place that has people dressing like identical robots. OK, the usual suspects like UPS and the USPS.
