Black Footwear?

Do you ever wear just socks???

Yes, but the paper tacked on our wall showing different styles of acceptable/non acceptable dress says black is preferred.

Well now. That adds a whole other layer of ambiguity. Preferred doesn’t equal required.

Show your boss your shoes, ask him if he's gonna bust yer balls if you wear them. If yes don't, if no try and push the line further next time.
The way you think, do you ever have time to deliver a package? just a poke to the ribs, you don't know me and my childishness.

I prefer black socks, only because they don't show dirt like the white ones, all my white socks look horrible at the end of day, and after a while they don't clean up well anymore.

Yes. There's actually a percentage, like 90% black that allows for some grey/reflective spots. Your station can fail an audit if there are people in non-compliance. Socks are supposed to be all black too, e.g., no nike or under armour logo, but that's rarely enforced.

White socks are allowed. There is a uniform poster that stations are supposed to hang up and it says that. At our last audit, the auditor stopped me and told me I was out of compliance because of my white socks. I told her she was mistaken and asked if the ladies room had the same poster the men's room had. She wasn't sure so I held the men's room door open so she could read the poster. She told me the poster was wrong and tried to count it against the station. My SM made a call and the auditor had to eat her words.

I know. Good thing I mostly do pickups.

Black shoes:required
Black socks: preferred
White socks:allowed

Socks should cover the ankle and/or extend one inch past the top of the shoe.

How many customers card though?

Almost 19 years, I don't recall EVER wearing black socks. I was called out on Walmart boots I had though. They have some yellow in them. Nothing a black marker couldn't fix. I didn't care, the company paid for them.

Black is preferred. I still wear white socks with shorts.

Good! Black socks make you look like a perv!

(not that there’s anything wrong with that)

 

[TearsInRain]

unless you’re primarily in the country any kind of boot sucks

get a pair of cross trainers

Not sure if there is an updated version of this flyer for stations with the current uniforms or not.

 

[dezguy]

The policy is black OR white, no logos and if they are the short socks, they must cover your ankle.....'no show' socks not allowed.

Up here, the policy is black with pants, white with shorts. Never enforced but that's the policy.

 

[SmithBarney]

On the topic of uniforms... how does everyone like the new belts?
They really are nice and make use stand out.

 

[SmithBarney]

Also apparently Black or White Socks are no longer acceptable.

I don't think there's anyone whose shorts are above the knee around here.

You people do everything different up there.

I see people wearing shorts around here that are so long I think “what’s the point?, might just as well be wearing pants.”

It's fashion brother. Agreed.

Or like they do at my station...wear shorts then leggings under them. Looks so stupid.

 

[McFeely]

My shorts be like Larry Bird’s. Then again, so are my socks.

Where exactly do you work, where that is allowed? I have one crease out of place and they’re calling the swat team.
