Just curious as to whether anyone has been sent home for violating the shoe or dress code.
Sometimes I see outfits that simply cannot be within our dress code, & last week I saw three different people wearing sandals. Im sure it's because of the nicer weather, but I'm also sure sandals aren't "allowed." Both supervisors and group leaders walk all the aisles, so you can't tell me they don't notice people's attire.
Is the dress code, but more so the shoe code, ever really enforced?
*FWIW I think the shoe code is the dumbest thing ever, we don't work in a warehouse and I begrudge not being able to wear all my cutest shoes >:-(

I think it's mostly a safety issue with the shoes. You know how much they love their safety talks about avoiding trips and falls. Danielle mentioned she'd been sent home for it a lot to the point she kept spares in her car, but that was probably a long time ago. lol. Don't know how well they've been enforcing it lately.

I've noticed lots of people breaking the dress code too. I did see one girl get called to the supervisor's office because of her halter top. She came back in tears, wearing a jacket. I felt a little sorry for her, but really she should have known it wasn't appropriate.
They'll probably come down hard on the shoe rule soon. It's been a pet peeve of Karen's ever since she fell in the parking lot & broke her ankle. That's why we get the slip & fall safety talk a few times a year.

Interesting! I didn't know if anyone ever actually got sent home. Good to know.
I didn't know that had happened to karen, yikes. In training I remember the reason they gave was the safety concern of someone backing up and potentially rolling over a foot with a chair (their own or someone passing behind them)...so you have to have a fully closed in shoe, etc.

I've seen a few people violating dress code since the weather has warmed up, and I've let a supervisor know. When I walk the aisles though, I don't make a special effort to look at people's shoes. I already feel uncomfortable doing the "snitch walk" (as lastrec calls it) and I'm not going to crane my neck to see under desks, like that supervisor Sean used to do.
The first time Karen herself sees someone in sandals or a halter top, you'll see the supervisors make more of an effort to enforce the dress code. I agree the shoe policy doesn't make sense for the REC. And the little ballet flats I wear all summer won't do any good anyway if someone backs their chair into me.

I don't mind our dress code at all. My last two jobs required formal dress. Our supervisors would have been sent home to change. Now I wear sweats in the winter and shorts in the summer. And make more money. And do not have to deal with people. Call me simple but I love it.
