@cbsnews: Starbucks' new dress code for baristas has sparked a strike at 75 U.S. stores, with more than 1,000 workers protesting the new policy, a union representing the coffee giant's workers said Wednesday. The new dress code, which went into effect on Monday, requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms under their green apron. Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Read more in the link. #starbucks #barista

Honestly, the dress code should be a dark plain colored shirt (graphic ts are okay as long as the apron covers most of the graphic) and plain pants or jeans (jeans can have rips but no gaping holes. Basically just no patterns on the clothes bc that’s the distracting part.

The fact they’re saying it’s just about the dress code is wrong

It’s because we were told two months ago they were going back to the “coffee house vibe.” Uniforms don’t fit that vibe.

So is CBS News implying that the news broadcasters can wear anything they choose on air or are there guidelines?

I'm sorry, why does wearing a black shirt and black or blue denim jeans matter? Like huh. Guy's there are more serious stuff happening out there?? Why are we fighting over something like this? it's just a uniform?? Is there like some lore I don't know about or what???

Y’all think that’s bad? I can’t wear my converse, my ripped jeans, or any of my Taco Bell merch shirts, only black skin tight jeans, non slip black shoes with laces, and a tight fitting Taco Bell uniform shirt, with the only designs being Taco Bell branding💀

This is one of the most relaxed dress codes to have to have 😬 and yall are crying over having to wear a comfy black shirt to work when some people have to wear collared shirts or even suits daily

What does it matter! I worked at Starbucks and if I wasn’t wearing the black or white shirt with the logo I had to wear a black shirt with black pants

It’s not just about the dress code. They need to bring a reasonable contract to the table. They also need to staff the stores properly and pay a living wage.
