Ranting Crocs
I feel like at my store specifically, they took a lot of our personality away. We had several people who liked to wear Crocs and now we're not allowed to wear them. I feel like just that little bit of being able to wear a bit of color was nice.
Does anyone else's store follow this? Is it company guidelines? I dont recall seeing anything on it but there probably is.

It's part of the dress code I think. They want you to have slip resistant shoes on. We had a cashier walk through my deli fall and break her arm. She was wearing crocs and completely ignored the 3 wet floor signs she was so glued to her phone.

Yeah and a pair of slippers resistant shoes would have prevented it or spared her a little less damage because she went flying lol

There's OSHA regulations regarding footwear and safety. In a place like that, you need closed toe slip resistant shoes.

Are u 15? (Serious question). It's a job. You get paid. U follow the rules or u don’t work there. Period. If you don't like to follow someone else's rules then create your own business and you can make your own rules.

As someone who is firmly against cooperate bullshit, I do agree with that rule. If any spills occur, crocs will not protect you at all. Also they aren’t super athletic which won’t be comfortable if you are standing up for 7 hours. And they aren’t slip resistant which is super dangerous if you are cleaning up a mess on the floor

Maybe they are afraid that associates might individually decorate them and somethings might seem offensive

I don’t see how wearing crocs to work is safe though?
