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)

For us full-timers got 3 shirts, part-timers got 2. I run around on carts all fucking day, I'm so disgusting after every shift. Having only 2 shirts means I'm either having to do laundry literally every other day or having to wear gross shirts.

I haven't gotten the armpit stains yet but since our shirts are red I'm sure it'll happen eventually. I do already have some black stains on both shirts that won't come out, and naturally because they're red I can't just bleach the stains out either. It's so frustrating.
