New shirts... White button downs and black vests?
Permalink   


I just got word that my Kroger is going to be switching to white button down shirts and black vests or aprons. What are we Steak N Shake? How uncomfortable is that going to be...

Is that for every department or just a specific one? If it's for the front end too, then I can only imagine what the courtesy clerks are going to look like in those shirts after coming in from outside when it's really hot or raining...

I've seen that style of uniform before on some of the display banners and stuff.

But I didn't think anyone seriously wore them O_o

Back when I started, the guys all had to wear neckties and the women had to wear bowties.  We also had color coded aprons and smocks.

blue- courtesy clerk

maroon- checker

green- produce

tan- deli and bakery

red- meat

gray- everyone else

I thought Kroger was a RETAIL STORE. NOT an executive office... Smh...

That's what the demo people wear. I can't imagine making other departments wear it. Especially meat...a white shirt with all those freaking bone in ribeyes we have to cut for the sales? Those white shirts will be red.

We have someone in the deli who wears a white button down, its practically yellow.  Thats not professional.  If they try to push that here I will be wearing whatever I can find at goodwill or salvation army.

No god damn way would I go out to get the carts in either of those weather wearing what the OP describes. Just...no god damn way.
i wouldn't have much of a problem changing in and out of them before and after the 'lot but no way.

Thank god our store is so cheap and paranoid that they can't even give out more than one shirt to new workers and ones like me who have been there a little while.
I don't see us ever changing dress codes.

 It has happened a lot. Usually because of a better supplier deal.
