What’s your take on uniforms? I get that they create consistency and look professional, but honestly, I hate how they’re almost always designed for men especially in BOH. Boxy jackets, stiff cuts, pants that don’t fit right anywhere. I’ve tried tailoring my own, but it still feels like an uphill battle. Have you ever pushed back on a dress code, and how did you do it without sounding like an awful employee?

I haven't had to. All the uniforms I've had to wear have fit fine, they're just usually ugly and not the least bit stylish. If they were as bad as yours sound, I'd talk to my boss and say that the poor fit and quality is really undercutting the goal of creating a professional looking team. It'll probably get ignored, like most complaints do, but at least you'll have tried.

I flat-out refused to wear the boxy chef coats. Brought in my own fitted jackets and told them if they wanted me in uniform, they could reimburse me. Funny how “the rules” change when you stand your ground.

Agree wholeheartedly that uniforms are not made with women in mind. I just don’t care much, so I never pushed back. I’m working, so it doesn’t matter much to me whether it fits right, as long as I can get it on and clock in.

I don't really mind it, to be honest. I like not having to think about what I'm wearing every day. Sometimes I just wish they would give us more because only having three means I end up having to do laundry a lot because things get spilled all the time. But that's my biggest complaint.

I don’t mind uniforms at all

I’m not too picky about uniforms but I get that the typical chef coats can look a bit… unstylish. I feel like I’ve seen some smart looking chef coats but they must be high end…

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
