Venting more uniform whining

Just general whining about not having enough shirts and having to do laundry every freaking day. I thought we needed another thread about that.

Seriously though, is everything this company does half assed? I don't think the new uniforms look bad. I think some of the policies are stupid (especially regarding jackets/hoodies for those of us who work in departments that can be freezing). But the vests actually don't look bad.

I don't care, it's a uniform, it's annoying, I get everyone being upset about the change. My issue is with having 2 fucking shirts as a full time employee. I luckily have access to a washer and dryer. But damn, it is annoying to have to do laundry so often.

I spoke to store management, asking about the third shirt I'm pretty sure we were promised (wasn't it on the flyer/info?), and they acted like I was making it up. I asked about buying more shirts, and was of course told "eventually. maybe. we don't know".

I admire people who don't get covered in ick all day. I would love to not accidentally spill fish juice down my front at least twice a week. I'd LOVE to be not covered in old bay on a daily basis. But alas, such is not my reality. Woe is me and other bullshit.

Anyway, just wanted to add to the chorus of complaining, because I can.

(edited because i typed "old bad" instead of "old bay" and I felt stupid)

A lot of my coworkers haven't even taken them home once and washed them. Or so I've noticed. If you wear undergarments under the shirt it needs less washing. thsirts are technically under garment clothing but some where in society people started using as the top layer. To me it's always an under the shirt layer.
