  This is how they had to dress. Even the cashiers and cooks had to be business casual. And they had to buy the uniforms out of their wages.

  Today they wouldn’t be able to afford to, but that’s what stagnant minimum wage and soaring corporate profits has gotten us.

    I don’t know about your area but mine is nearly all those slow ass Touch kiosks. At best there is one person manning the till.

    It would amuse me greatly if they dressed up the kiosks like this though.

      Now I’m imagining a Total Recal / Demolition Man universe where a snappily-dressed hologram cashier takes your order while smiling and making eye contact with the wrong point in space. The occasional glitch or static for bonus points.

      You may not be able to actually talk to her; she may just respond to your touch-screen selections.

      Coming soon!

    My first job was as a cashier at a grocery store. When I started they required everyone to wear a white button up shirt, black pants and a tie. Hilariously that’s the only job I’ve worked where I’ve been expected to wear a tie. Anyways about a year after I started they shifted to these weird slightly patterned shirts and you could either wear that or a dress shirt and the tie was optional. Now they’ve shifted entirely to just black pants and a red or black logo wear shirt and nobody wears ties anymore. It’s not even been that long! I’m not old enough to see this much of a change am I?!
