Like I get it, I’d you’re in a corporate high job, or your jeans have holes in them of course they’re not professional.
But WHY oh why are nice jeans not acceptable in customer service roles?
I recently got hired at a job I don’t really want but need, at a hotel. They have uniforms but didn’t order them until my orientation day and they’re back ordered so probably won’t be here for a few weeks.
I asked the dress code and she said just “professional”
I then asked if the jeans I was wearing (high waisted medium wash, single color denim skinny jeans. Not loose, no holes, no weird patterns etc. But she said no, absolutely no jeans. But tennis shoes are acceptable footwear?
I only accepted this job because I’m out of school and broke as fuck. I have no slacks or professional style pants so I had to go try and find the cheapest ones I could find at Walmart that looked decent and put more money on a credit card that I still can’t afford to pay on yet.
