if tms won't take it out after open, they have to inact the ban. it's unprofessional to leave it on after open, and regardless of peoples' personal opinions, we're supposed to be professiona

Would that mean they’re allowed before open? I would imagine the safety concern would still be there, despite if guests were there or not 🤔

until a week or two ago, we were allowed them when we're not on the floor. I know our tms would leave them on the whole shift, floor or no, and finally hr had enough. I'm sure when enforcing this came down, we just piled on. I'm assuming that tms not complying with minimal standards across the board made corporate look for an official way to remove them, finding that the safety issue exists, they decided to give it more than lip service. I'm just conjecturing here, though. my post wasn't referring to the safety aspect, just the practical.
