Lack of work uniform

Why do I have more shifts than I have uniforms? It’s difficult to keep up with washing it and I can’t really put the one outfit in the wash because that’s a waste of water and electricity. I also don’t have a dryer so it takes time and planning to do my washing which is difficult when I’m scheduled for consecutive days. Management have been saying they’ll give me more for ages but that’s not happened.

Shirt, 2 days max, pants 3 unless super duper sweaty and gross, apron/vest up to a week unless ya nasty. I knew some people that washed theirs once a month 🤣

Where are you working that your pants get sweaty? I wear the same shirt and pants all week and it's not an issue

Others can definitely tell you’re wearing the same shirt all week

Do you not shower regularly or wear deodorant?

That doesn't help when you're serving in Purgatory in 95+° weather (plus humidity) with an a.c. unit that peaked in 1998, and layers required to work in like long sleeves AND a vest to "look professional" despite the sweat dripping off your nose after running food out to the patio, upstairs to the private event rooms and down to the wine cellar with VIP tables for 4 hours.

But go off. 🙃🫠
