you wear your own clothes?

I quote my delightful store manager when I say 'my TL and managers are to look like TL and managers', even the weekend STL has to wear full shirt and tie and I am supposed to be dressed smartly and believe me, my manager minces no words about the clothes I wear or my hair style when I go into work!

interesting, as far as a i know TLs should still only wear uniform, its CSS and managers allowed own clothes. We had this discussion with our manager a few weeks back

Thats really unusual - you would have thought it would have been company wide policy. I know the TL of all the stores in my area all wear their own clothes. Interesting!

as far as im aware, different stores are given different info on TLs wearing uniform or their own clothes? - our stores TLs used to be allowed to wear their own clothes but when our area manager came for a visit one day he decided one of them was wearing too-revealing clothes (her top wasa bit low cut and rose above the tops of her trousers when she bent down) and so they now have to wear uniform.

I did wonder originally if it was to do with store banding (mine is band 5) but have seen lots of stores with lower banding with same policy, so I think it must be managers discretion.
