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.

      Is the code so restrictive? I work at Lowe’s and can whatever the fuck I want within reason. Nothing with holes, stained to hell, flip-flops (safety related), controversial, etc.

        It seems so.

        I used to work in a warehouse that would send people home for wearing sweatpants instead of jeans.

        A lot companies tell you to wear a specific color etc.
