I too have had the dreaded job that insisted on a uniform. Unfortunately when it was a polo shirt and khaki pants (shudder), and it was nearly impossible for me to go into a store on my lunch break or after work with out being bombarded buy "do you work here?" or "can you help me carry this to the car?"

I did get some generous tips though, one guy slipped me a $50 and told me (with a 'tude) that I should use it to help for college. As he drove off, I gave him the finger and told him i was going to buy grass and brooze with it. He then got out and started to yell at me for being ungrateful. "That what's wrong with you kids today!!" I told him that I have a college education (but never told him I didn't work there, hell a $50 is good scratch for lifting a box), he then stormed into the store to find my "manager". I hopped into my car and headed back to work.

I never stepped back in the store with my uniform on. Infact I'm glad I don't work for that job anymore, the neighborhood went down hill fast. But now I have a good (enough) job where I can wear jeans, shorts and t-shirts. Plus I have internet connection so I can be here. :wink:

Mo-Holler.
