I wear jeans too, but show up in a tee or sweat, and will be sent home immediately to change to proper attire. That's at The Home Depot.

Next time you are at one of the stores, notice no tee's are being worn. All the customer really sees is the orange apron we all wear, to identify us as associates/specialists, ready willing and sometimes able to help them...tp

I have noticed that. I have no issues with that...its a public thing....I sit in an office (cave) and do not interact with people outside the building...that is the main difference...at least I would think...

We're told it's for a more professional presentation to the public, and I agree with it too. Was once a corporate headhunter, and lived at a desk with a phone glued to my ear. Had to dress up every day, as the owner said "if you look professional, you will feel professional", ergo, make a better presentation during calls.
Must have been some validity to it, as I was the top recruiter in the Gulf Coast one year, the worst economic year for my industry. "Place or starve" was the recruiters motto.

I am the complete opposite. If I am not comfortable, it will be apparent and I have NEVER been comfortable in suits or anything remotely close to it. Heck even ties make me cringe!!!!

Then you chose the right job. FWIW, had to wear ties 40+ years ago at Handy Dan, the first DIY super store. Stupid decision on corporate's part. Wore clip ons, as the ties were always getting caught in/on stuff when on the floor working. Dangerous, for sure. tp
