Try nice slacks with a LONG SLEEVED ironed WHITE shirt while doing freight, in the summer, 95° heat, 100% humidity and being chewed out if we rolled our sleeves up, or were called to the front to help with bagging/carryouts and our clothing was all dirty/rumpled! This happened when our store was bought out by a new owner who wanted everybody to look "professional" - prior to this all of us in the warehouse were allowed to wear jeans and t-shirts when it got that hot. This arsehole even took away our fans!!!! (ever tried to unload a truck that's been sitting in the sun and the interior is about 115° in a long sleeved shirt, with NO fans???)
I and the rest of the warehouse crew were about to quit en-masse and our manager releted, letting us wear light colored t-shirts as long as we kept a long-sleeved ironed shirt with us for those times we were called up to the front, and for days when Mr New Owner and his peons were present in the store.
