I always thought the "rule" was that you're meant to dress similarly to how you would dress to do your job? So suiting up for a big box store would be pretty weird? (Sorry for the quote, can't reply to your post)

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

A man was dragged from his car after ICE showed him a warrant for someone else and refused to check his ID to see his identity.
