The purpose of our dress code is to ensure that our employees express our brand -- affordable and convenient nutrition and healthy living -- while maximizing employee efficiency and safety.
* Wear clothes that maximize efficiency. For instance, if it's more difficult to climb a ladder to reach something while wearing dress shoes than while wearing sneakers, then wear sneakers.
* Wear clothes that maximize safety. Don't wear flip-flops or sandals if you're concerned about getting your toes stepped on. When it's busy, toes will likely be stepped on. Do your best to minimize injuries.
*Wear clothes that express simplicity. Our goal is to get people to believe -- vis-a-vis our products -- that nutrition and healthy living can be had by living simply, and not by living extravagantly.
* Look at how Asians dress. Do the opposite of whatever they do. Avoid the high maintenance look.
-------------------------------------
Specific Recommendations:
* Wear form-fitting clothing. Avoid baggy and tight/revealing clothing.
* Wear little or no make-up and jewelry.
* Wear clothes that won't offend customers. Don't wear anything that expresses a political view-point or attacks/promotes an organization.
* Avoid clothes that display a brand.
* Don't look sloppy (avoid baggy clothing).
* Keep hair tied back, kept out of face and eyes (this could be a health code requirement)
* Keep fingernails well groomed - short and clean. Avoid using nail polish on fingernails.
