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’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.
