Do you people buy clothes online?
-
Except the things I actually want to buy in the size I need. Those are never on sale at Kohls.
-
On the other hand, getting yelled at over dress is totally a thing here. Not by our management, and not to the person doing the dressing. But by building management to our management. I've overheard it. Actual fucking yelling.
This place is fucking poison.
-
Why don't you tell me what you did mean, then.
No. I am not going to cater to your stupid affectation of deliberately misunderstanding everything people say. I find it much funnier to think of you running around all day perpetually confused by things people say, Drax.

But by building management to our management.
Under certain circumstances I'm willing to concede that may be theoretically allowable, as in the case of someone forgetting safety equipment (or, say, wearing headphones on a factory floor.)
-
Or... Wearing jeans in an office. Or a shirt without a collar. In one notable case changing into a sports uniform (OH GOD SHORTS!) in the bathroom on the way out of the building to a game.
They give us precisely no lip for violating every PPE requirement every time we go out to production.
-
Ok well I'm an idiot moron stupidhead, but I still truly and honestly have no idea what you meant by that. So if you were trying to communicate something to me, you have failed.
-
They'd throw a fit with us. Anyone turning up in a suit is automatically thought to be going to a funeral. Or a member of senior management. (How to tell those apart…?)

The alleged rationale is visiting customers.
My team's customers emphatically DO NOT visit us. They aren't even allowed to know where our offices are. They are forbidden from having a direct line of any type to any of us. Even names are forbidden (after one customer started threatening to leave if one particular developer didn't cater to their every whim regardless of scheduling or suitability and sales demanded that we do what the customer said and went so far as to give them the guys personal cell number)
We're on a floor all by ourselves behind security doors with no signage indicating anything of interest is in here. So nobody else's customers should see us. Except the chuckle fucks inexplicably include us on the tour.
Customers don't visit to tour cube farms. They visit to tour manufacturing, because by and large that's what they think they've bought. You know what people in manufacturing wear? Wifebeaters. Torn jeans. Shorts in the summer.
You know what our competitors wear in manufacturing? Uniforms. We've had customers cite that as a key difference when jumping ship.

When you think of fishing, what do you think of. Bait? Tackle? The big one that got away? Gorgeous women? OK, beautiful women don't often come to mind, unless you have Women in Waders 2016.
this is gold
-
everything in this store is on sale 100% of the time
I assumed they meant on sale relative to one of the high-end department stores that charges 50 and up for ties.

Nope. Their store brands are on sale 100% of the time also.

TIL Kohl's has store brands. I just go there for designer labels (e.g. Chaps) without having to pay Macy's prices or having to deal with the crapshoot selection at T J Maxx.
-
Urban Pipeline is one of them. They also have exclusive distributor agreements with others. They have a mostly exclusive agreement for Tony Hawk apparel for instance.

Sales team's personal cell phone numbers would start showing up in gay bar public restrooms if someone did that to me.
-

No, Drax, you have failed at basic understanding. I meant getting told what you were wearing was inappropriate. Are you the sort of person who collected a shelf full of participation trophies growing up?
-

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS RESPONDING TO.
Why did you think I misunderstood you? WTF.
Ugh you really are a piece of shit. Sorry for cluttering up my General Help topic with calling FrostCat a piece of shit, but look at this.
-
Why did you think I misunderstood you? WTF.
Because you're stupid and don't read what other people write.
I don't work for the kind of place that would yell at me for not wearing approved clothing, but you seem to have assumed I do. Again, I strongly recommend you obtaion psychiatric help.
-
of course I was advocating torturing a marketing person
-
The alleged rationale is visiting customers.
When I visit my customers, I go in my usual clothing and I'm slightly over-dressed relative to what they expect. But I prefer chinos and a shirt with a collar anyway.

FWIW... since more $$ than Kohls...
I've had good luck with LLBean and Lands End... especially if you're looking for long-sleeves and you're funny-shaped.
Pants not working as well - especially trying to make sure they're not selling me elastic-waisted pants -also cuff quality has gone way down... they're fraying within a year... I have much older (smaller) pants that show no wear at all. Cheaper manufacture to keep prices the same.
Feel your pain on good shirt you can't replace - found a great shirt at Target with hidden button-down buttons... can't find anything similar without buying custom at $75 or more a pop. IANAL.
