Dress Code

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.
