Why weren't Tesco staff in uniform?

Greatgimp

Went into Tesco's in Fakenham today, and the staff weren't in uniform and what a scruffy bunch they looked. Is this the start of doing away with uniforms so we can't work out who to ask when we cannot find something? You can't read or recognise a badge from the side or from behind like you can a uniform.

They could have been doing a wear your own clothes for a charity event, when i worked at asda we had plenty of those

I often see staff with no uniforms especially in evening, I have no idea why some do and some dont

Payday weekend is sometimes dress down, I never bothered but is a good way to hide from customers

They go under cover in plain clothes, to make sure you don't swop the whoopsie labels around.

Went to Irlam branch yesterday, and a couple of the staff *were* in pjyamas! Didn't ask why, but when I saw this thread I thought there might be a clue here.

They have occasional dressdown days as a way of improving staff morale and dressdown days for charity so quit the moaning
