Part time wedding/event job wants to deduct $50 out of my first check for uniform, is that standard?

I did an interview recently and this part time gig wants me to deduct $50 out of my first check to pay for a company t-shirt, apron, and short sleeve dress shirt and I never heard of this, is that a common thing? Every place I’ve worked at gave a uniform for free or we gave it back at the end of our shift.

I brought it up to the manager and they started talking about how “its what I signed up for” and “its nobody elses job” and “its not even that much work”. So from now on I just decided that if I stayed more than 30 minutes after closing, then I will just simply take the next day off.
