uniform compliance
Permalink   


A notice was posted at the time clock that if you are not in uniform you will be sent home. Like other rules, it is not enforced. 

I don't understand why these rules are posted in the first place if there is no intention of following or enforcing them.

One of the managers at my store used to get on anybody's case for not having their name tag all the time. Til it got to the point where for those that didn't have one, our back up manager would just start pulling out old name tags from the office and toss em to people. But I don't think we've ever really had much of an issue with people not having their shirt or aprons.

I think the bigger issue is folks calling off though. To the point where they have a note at our time clock that starting Monday, all call offs will be handled as described in our employee handbook. Which means being told to management as opposed to your DH or back up manager. Which I get them wanting the head peeps to know what is going on. But I still feel our communication is too funky for that. I mean, we had a chick call off from deli as she was still in the hospital and was just getting home but wouldn't be able to make it in. And was wondering if our back up manager was on or our DH. Neither one was, but one of the managers was still there and I gave him the phone when she had called so he would know. And I thought it would have been cool. But come in the next day to find out that they had marked her a no call, no show. Even though she had actually told a manager that she was calling off, but he must have been off that next day or never conveyed to our DH that she had called off. Which is some BS in my opinion. 

I also think it's bad for the new people that don't have a handle on who all the store management meant is just yet. And if they want to call off, how are they supposed to know who to be in contact with/ask for? Or in my case when I was given a medical note that said I would be out for 5 days after getting a tooth extraction and root canal all in the same day. I could barely talk for a while. And even though I had called off for the day after the procedure. I had to get a family member to take my note in(as I truly was in a worse way. Barely could keep my head up and not keep falling asleep to get through everything) for me. And I had him take it to my DH directly as he knew what he looked like. As opposed to one of the newer store managers. But with going back to how the book says to report call offs. I feel like if I need to be out for something else and need someone else to assist me in calling off. Then I mind as well say I'm out of a job, if they give my medical note to the wrong person. Which would seriously suck.

Myself and about a half-dozen other people at my store still wear our old black t-shirts since they haven't been able to get in any of the new blue XL size shirts. I could wear either a size smaller or larger but I don't and management doesn't seem to care at all. Management at every store I've worked at has always been spotty about which rules they enforce and when, usually when a walk through is coming they get really strict then immediately afterwards they go back to not caring.

At any given time, most employees at my store are out of uniform.

Our store doesn't give uniforms to new hires, and no one knows how to order them.

Whatever uniform shirts there are were sold under the table by management, or stolen out of the office when no one was looking.

Dress code is really only brought up in two situations.  Typically, it's weaponized to harass particular employees.  If it isn't that, someone is wearing their single stolen shirt and improvised uniform pants every single day until they start to look and smell a little homeless.

i'm curious why there is an employee who is allowed to wear a blue skull-cap and maybe a black one. it's not a kroger hat, and to my knowledge, having worked with this person, it's not a religious garb. if it were, he wouldn't be wearing it only some of the time in my opinion

what if i showed up in a cowboy hat?
