Uniform of The Day
Or, just the clothing policy.
Have you ever had a job that had a strict Dress Code? My first job had one mandatory strict dress code rule. When I worked in my church gym at 14, the Recreation Director told me, ”Albert, Never, ever, wear street shoes on the gym floor.” By the way, I was wearing tennis shoes that day.
At 14, I always wore my tennis shoes, and I always wore them in the streets, so I was a little confused. I asked the Director, who was one of my favorite bosses ever, “Can I wear my tennis shoes,” which oddly enough, I was wearing that day.
Ok, Albert… just do not wear street shoes on the gym floor, that you would wear to church. Mr. Director, “ummm not to be rude, but I am still a little confused. I am at church now, I am wearing tennis shoes, which I wear in the streets, so is it ok for me to wear these tennis shoes, on the gym floor?”
Sunday’s Albert, Sundays! Do not wear dress-up Sunday shoes, on the gym floor.”
“Gotcha Boss.”
