Good innit.
I'm not supposed to wear jeans & trainers when I'm seeing customers but I have done pretty much every day for the last 8 years and no-one has said anything. I look like a reet slob at work :thumb:
When I'm lifeguarding during normal hours we have to wear our 'red and yellows' (imaginative name). Yellow polo shirt with red collar and buttons and sleeves, but the sleeves aren't polo shirt material, more like the same fabric as the shorts; with red shorts with yellow triangle bits on the sides.
The shirt does nothing for any of the girls, unisex polo shirts so they end up being really baggy over most of you and far too long (which also makes them hard to swim in). The shorts are unlined blokes swimming shorts things but they're really short and have really wide legs so if you're not careful people can see up them when you sit on the high chairs.
Most of the girls (there aren't that many of us) have 'adjusted' our tops to make them a little more reasonable and if you're on earlies or lates then you usually get away with swapping the shorts for plain tracksuit bottoms.
Oh and a gorgeous magnetic name badge at all times, such a shame they seem to come off in the water and the reorder time is about 5 weeks.....
That just strikes me as some kind of strange fetish..
But while we're on the subject, any offers for a Lifeguarding uniform? Shorts and T Shirt with only a few slight blood stains, genuine chlorine fading....
When I'm a teacher I guess it'll be shirt, tie trousers and shoes so roughly the same.
I was actually disappointed when I started with Clyde marine that the uniform didn't include a cap and jacket. Just a shirt, wooly pully, tie and trousers, all courtesy of SM Bass. Perhaps I should have applied to Cunard line or the RFA instead?
Most ships I have worked on only required uniform to be worn in the officer's mess, and on the Star Ohio, that was only when in port. Obviously, boiler suits were mandatory when at work.
At the moment there no work on so I've been working for my mate as a carpet fitter. All I need then is my Snickers, New Forest Flooring polo shirt and sometimes high vis jacket when I'm on a building site.
I love my snickers and what they do for my knees.
There are rumours that Waterstone's will be introducing full uniform soon though.
Which makes a nice change from the other uniform i previously stated i had to wear that consists of: Red/Navy Umbro polo shirt, website written across the back, Navy tracksuit bottoms and trainers
Now I have to do "business casual" but on fridays we can wear jeans... how exciting :yeees:
I hate having to wear a uniform and had being made to by a boss who is barely out of college and who doesn't have to. In fact he often wears jeans.:banghead:
I used to work for a firm sweeping car parks, emptying bins and cleaning gent toilets at a shopping park. They were really strict about uniform. It was a mid blue bomber jacket and matching trousers, a light blue shirt and a clip on tie. I alway felt that I looked like a toilet attendant when I was wearing it. We had to wear it properly at all times.We got disciplined if we didnt and got pay docked or worked extra unpaid hours on horrible tasks. :mad: It was like being at school.
We also had to have a sensible short haircut and no earings.:(
I have to be honest and say that I am really envious of people who have a job where they wear what they like, enjoy their job and probably make a lot more money than me.
Also my CV doesn't look too clever.:crazyeyes
I wear a Tesco uniform. it is the navy blue trousers blue shirt and a dark blue blazer finished perfectly with a red tesco tie. i am proud to wear my uniform and fly the flag and support my store and the superiors i work for. I work 6 days a week 7 when possible it is always important to look your best when serving customers. il iron my uniform and shine my shoes every morning before work. i love wearing my suit it is practicly the only thing i wear.
NB This thread is four years old, worth checking the date of the last post before adding something yourself.
Unless you are planning on spamming us and this is just an attempt to build up your post count first. In which case we've seen it before so don't waste our time.
:yes: it is pretty old, so I am going to close it now, but please feel free to start a new discussion if its something you want to continue chatting about.
