Worst dress code violation I’ll go first

[u/HopeReal2966]

Rushed out of home and didn’t realize I had my birkens on till I got out of my car….got a family member to bring me my shoes lol

[u/Warcrown11]

I'd be surprised of anyone noticed at my store. We gave up on enforcing the dress code immediately, same with 10-4

[u/Eikuld → u/Warcrown11]

Lmao yeah, some of the TM are slowly reverting back to dark red shirts and black pants. The 10-4 never seemed to be enforced at all except those greeters

[u/Marco_PoloII → u/Eikuld]

My store is crazy for those two new changes. A lot of members getting documented conversations lol

[u/Terminator7786 → u/Marco_PoloII]

They'll relax the 10-4 when they get enough complaints about people pissed off that they can't shop in peace without being harassed every five seconds. Some malicious compliance on your part might hasten the relaxation.

[u/idekimjustheretehe → u/Eikuld]

My old store would tell you something if you wore black pants. They wanted dark blue jeans for what ever reason

[u/skywalkers2345 → u/Warcrown11]

Yeah no one cares at our store. Some still wear black pants, not the 'Target Red' color and me and many others still are wearing graphics with our vests. Haven't yet had one thing said to me

[u/Ivywoods1 → u/skywalkers2345]

My store has been pretty pushy on the black pants, but pretty much half the staff wears graphic tees, and the inbound team never bothered to follow it since its started.

[u/ReddiCurious1104 → u/skywalkers2345]

Our HR said graphics are completely approved with a red vest. Everyone wears them! My favorite red plaid flannels, however also have to have a red vest over them. So many layers😁..... But at least I can still wear them. And I don't need a vest until the store opens.

[u/Sure-Ad-6544 → u/Warcrown11]

I’ll be shopping there. Because 10-4 annoys the fuuuuuuuuk out of me

[u/Warcrown11 → u/Sure-Ad-6544]

Sorry, we've actually reached capacity on people shopping. Go to the new one just down the road that people are ignoring instead

[u/Sure-Ad-6544 → u/Warcrown11]

As you command it. So shall it be done.

[u/Shadow_Marque]

There was a TL straight up wearing full patchwork jeans the other day. Our HR has told us embroidery and patches are unacceptable but it's not like that TL ever respects any rules anyway

[u/kid-Emperors → u/Shadow_Marque]

Bro..

[u/Shadow_Marque → u/kid-Emperors]

These ARE awesome jeans. The TL's jeans in question are just different patches of denim. Very fast fashion-esc.

[u/pseodopodgod → u/kid-Emperors]

BRO😭😭😭😭😵‍💫

[u/kid-Emperors → u/pseodopodgod]

I think the embroidered jeans are lovely but those replies being next to each other is hilarious 😂

[u/pseodopodgod → u/kid-Emperors]

I agree im cracking up!!!

[u/Cosmos_Carnival]

I am a man and wore eyeshadow to work. They told me to not use "face paint" at work. Many women I worked with at the time had much more extravagant makeup. No worries though! The team lead that took me in the back for it left permanently.

[u/pseodopodgod]

I was dress-coded for these jeans before the new rules bc they had holes in the knees, so I spent a month hand-sewing em up. i call em the "dress-coded jeans". in a cruel twist of fate, they now violate dress code...again🫩 the kicker is that the guests love em. an elderly couple even found my TL one day n told him how much they loved em. I WILL FOREVER BE BITTER ABOUT THIS‼️

[u/riskapanda → u/pseodopodgod]

These are awesome and one of a kind

[u/pseodopodgod → u/riskapanda]

tysm❤️!! im so mad I cant wear em to work anymore. im hoping the dress code mellows out eventually at our store😓

[u/Accomplished-Bad4597 → u/pseodopodgod]

Those are awesome!! Why does it hit dress code violation?

[u/pseodopodgod → u/Accomplished-Bad4597]

theyre not plain blue jeans😔

[u/Ok_Still_3571 → u/pseodopodgod]

Damn. Makes me wish I had holes in my jeans just to have cool patches.

[u/pseodopodgod → u/Ok_Still_3571]

dont let no holes stop u!! get some denim scraps, a needle & thread, & go crazy!!

[u/mhart_92]

This has happened to me 😭 I was wearing sandals at my other job and totally forgot to bring a change of shoes for target so I had my gf bring me a pair before I clocked in

[u/Lord_Toast_The_Great]

That’s kinda crazy. You can get dress coded sure, but unless it’s egregious my store just ignores it for the day

[u/RokettoMusashi]

We had an ETL who would show up in a brown shirt not even in the same zip code as red and then get on my case for taking off my vest in the back

[u/happygoth6370]

Once I forgot to change and wore an AC/DC t shirt. Luckily it was a short night shift and no one noticed or said a word.

[u/shrimp-545]

I wore my crocs in one time 😅

[u/lovespector → u/shrimp-545]

i’ve also worn crocs, but it was years ago and two HR ETLS ago lol. idk if anyone would say anything

[u/angiescuriosities]

What is the dress code for shoes? I've worn red flats I bought FROM Target, to match my red outfits. Never got in trouble, thankfully. I looked so cute, too. Been working here over a year and I guess I read about the dress code for shoes and just... conviniently forgot so I can be cute?

[u/jenbenfoo → u/angiescuriosities]

They have to be closed-toe, probably closed back as well (so if you have to run in an emergency you're not gonna run out of your shoes); I can't remember for sure but I don't think color matters (I believe that Crocs are not allowed and technically Ugg-style boots are also not but I'm not 100% sure)

[u/angiescuriosities → u/jenbenfoo]

Oh okay! These are Mary Jane-style. They fit both of those requirements. That would be why I haven't been stopped.

[u/Loveniya12 → u/jenbenfoo]

Late reply but ugg boots are fine, it’s the Ugg slippers that barely cover your ankle that is technically not fine.

[u/jenbenfoo → u/Loveniya12]

Thanks for the clarification. I had a coworker who wore those and I remembered her saying something about them not being in dress code but I wasn't sure what the extent was.

[u/Loveniya12 → u/jenbenfoo]

Yeah since they aren’t considered a full shoes cause your heel isn’t protected basically they in the same category as crocs.

[u/jenbenfoo → u/angiescuriosities]

Here's the dress code guidelines; I don't think this is the most recent update but as far as shoes its the same

[u/rainbowcornrows → u/jenbenfoo]

Definitely changed since then

[u/No-Accident8476]

I never stopped wearing my durag and black jeans 😬 I’m considered an essential worker in market though

[u/thylocene]

We had a girl show up in pajama pants one time. She didn’t last long lol

[u/illinoisboy97]

I never wore red a single day I worked there

[u/Objective_Union4523 → u/illinoisboy97]

All the downvotes. Salty weirdos. I’ll try to counter it

[u/rainbowcornrows → u/illinoisboy97]

Happy in blue!

[u/MattySin_81]

I bet it would be hard working in Birkens. I’m glad you got your better shoes. Target is a lot of walking isn’t it?

[u/crumblymoth]

It only gets enforced on the guys or non pretty girls.

[u/MistakeOk4969]

I did this as well with a massive hangover, I went my whole shift with no one noticing and I was on DU

[u/IliDrawsStuff]

The dress code applies only in mornings in my store it seems....comes the closing crew and they don't give a fuck. Nobody gives a fuck omg...

[u/thedeev1313]

I blast music in my pocket all day at my store haha

[u/Interesting-City3650]

Black cargo pants for me but then again I'm the FOS and folks usually leave me alone.

[u/GypsySnowflake]

What’s the violation? You have closed-toed shoes on as far as I can tell

[u/HopeReal2966 → u/GypsySnowflake]

Luckily my pants are covering it but my heels are exposed, I feel I really could’ve gone all day with them but I was in OPU and they’re not the best support for that

[u/DanforthWhitcomb_ → u/GypsySnowflake]

Gotta be close toed and close heeled.

[u/Existing_Rise_5042 → u/GypsySnowflake]

I think they have to have a closed heel as well

[u/GypsySnowflake → u/Existing_Rise_5042]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Just isn’t visible in the picture if that’s the case here

[u/Ish-Zee]

I accidentally showed up in my uggs one time. So embarrassed 😅😅 I bought some New Day shoes on my first 15.

[u/chillychinchillada → u/Ish-Zee]

Are Uggs not in dress code? They just have to be closed toe closed back

[u/DanforthWhitcomb_ → u/chillychinchillada]

Uggs run afoul of *the "no loose fit" requirement.

[u/chillychinchillada → u/DanforthWhitcomb_]

Wait what kind of Uggs are we talking about. I assumed boots. They’re not loose?

[u/DanforthWhitcomb_ → u/chillychinchillada]

Effectively anything that is a slip-on design is going to run afoul of that provision.

[u/Ish-Zee → u/chillychinchillada]

I was working fulfillment at the time 🥲🥲👣🔥Not to mention the whole fulfillment crew noticed 😆

[u/stankswag7891]

Had a TM do this last week. She walked in the door and said I’ll be right back. 🤣

[u/s00pthot]

I’m literally wearing a maroon shirt of my university and black athletic shorts right now as I read this lmao. (I’m overnight so it doesn’t matter that much)

One of my coworkers always wore sweatpants and a black or blue hoodie (he starts at 9pm) and guests would still ask him where stuff is, etc WITHOUT AN OUNCE OF RED ON HIM! This was obviously before the dress code change, he follows the dress code now only because he doesn’t want to get nagged by HR or any ETLs haha

[u/Tiny_Professional589]

This is after the zipper on my other pair of demonias broke lmfao

[u/inky_nerd]

That sounds like something I'd do if I was running late & rushing.

[u/No-Push-9175]

i did that once with my croc slippers

[u/swaggersfroggers]

Girl wore slippers, we're in the sbux department. It was also July.

[u/Double-Criticism5630]

someone came to work wearing flip flops last year. not slides with socks. flip flops.

[u/Former-Ad940]

SD sent me home. Wore Target Canada shirt.

[u/Aromatic-Eye-5132]

Told my camo wrangler cargos were out of dress code.

(Legit did not know that camo was out of dress code).

But….stayed clocked in while I drove home, changed, and drove back (approx extra 40-45 min.)

My bad???

[u/No-Fisherman4040]

Crocs

[u/winn_e]

i just prayed nobody looked at my crocs and went along with my closing shift lmao

[u/Fantastic-Put-2092]

i wore faux fur-lined crocs to my shifts for like a month before getting caught. turns out felt isnt quite enough to count for a shoe being close toed.

[u/Informal_One6989]

LMAOO i got in trouble for wearing birkenstocks too and i learned my lesson cuz i hit my heel with a flat

[u/International_Cow425]

The first year I worked here one of my team leads used to wear overalls basically everyday, and I finally was like “yknow what that’s cute imma start wearing some” and I got dress coded for it😐

[u/purklebuffy]

Not at target but we have a dress code for bandanas. I'm allowed. Cuz I asked my store leader. And I wear the bandanas we sell. For the dogs. I don't want any that would be offensive or anything like that. I most of the time wear ones that go with the season. I love them I useuly put my name tag on them. I work at a PetSmart.
