What are the worst Food Retail Uniforms

HotDog on a Stick


Easily the most legendary of ugly uniforms, the chain with the best name saddles its employees with the worst duds – yellow, red, blue and white striped shirts, with similarly striped short-brimmed caps.

Sonic Drive-In


The blue-and-red polos are bad enough, but then there’s the awkward spectacle of watching local high schoolers navigate actual moving automobiles, while on roller skates and Rollerblades, just to bring you chili cheese tots.

McDonald’s and Burger King


Take it from a former servant of the King: From ankle to shoulder these things feel like sandpaper. (Image via McDonald’s)

Hooters


A lot of 12-year-olds swear these are the “BEST. UNIFORMS. EVER.” But then 12-year-olds are known to have a notoriously unreliable fashion sense.

Friendly’s


A restaurant chain best known for customers named “Grandma” and “Grandpa” features outfits best worn by “Grandma” and “Grandpa.”

Anywhere That Makes Employees Wear a Visor


This combines the indignity of getting yelled at by a stranger for accidentally hitting “3” instead of “2” on the register with the shame of dressing like a golf pro, circa 1995.

Applebee’s


A lot of chains take great pains to make their managerial staff distinctive. Applebee’s puts them in orange button-downs.

Johnny Rockets


Pop quiz: Who wears clip-on bow ties while working in the mall space between Delia’s and Spencer’s? These unfortunate folks.

Heart Attack Grill


These are the worst uniforms of all time, right? They’ve gotta be. At the very least, they seem unsanitary.

Domino’s

These uniforms represent a school of thought that says, “Our employees are not humans, they are walking, talking billboards.”

Its that time of week again!! Here are some Fun Facts about Mondays to Cheer you up (Well some are Fun)

2 The best preferred way to beat Monday blues is by watching television or having sex

The top five ways to get over that horrible Monday feeling is: 1. Watching TV, 2. Sex, 3. On-line shopping, 4. Buying chocolate or make-up and 5. Planning a holiday.

3 Over 50% of employees are late to work

 A lame excuse won’t work; researchers claim that most of us find the start of the week so grim nearly half of us are late for work.

4 Most people will moan about it being Monday for a whole 12 minutes

That’s how much they hate Mondays.


5 People between the ages of 45 and 54 are likely to suffer the most Monday blues

The biggest whingers are 45-to-54-year-olds, who spend at least 12 full minutes moaning.


6 Workers only manage three-and-a-half hours of productive work

Mondays tend to be fairly unproductive, with only about three-and-a-half hours of actual work getting done.


7 Monday is the most likely day to commit suicide

The Office for National Statistics in England found 16% of male suicides and 17% of female suicides occurred on Mondays, compared to 13% on the weekend days. Researchers said the trend was not solely a result of returning to work as it was also seen in retired people. (Source)


8 Or having a heart attack

The British Medical Journal reported a 20% increase in heart attacks on Mondays as opposed to the other days of the week. The attacks may be caused by stress and high blood pressure caused by returning to work.

9 Monday is the least rainy day of the week

Some believe it’s due to man-made pollution subsiding over the weekend.

10 Monday is the best day to buy a car

Believe it or not, there are positive things about Monday. For instance, when you’re going to shop for a new car, do it on a Monday. Car salespeople make the bulk of their sales on the weekends. When Monday rolls around, there are usually few customers in sight, and the weekend is a long way off. That’s why car salespeople are more desperate on Monday, and they’ll be more willing to cut you a deal. (Source)

10 of the Craziest Discounts given to Customers

According to Laura King, her three children were acting normally while enjoying dinner at an Italian restaurant in their hometown in Washington state. However, staffers of the restaurant Sogno di Vino in Poulsbo were so impressed with her children’s table manners during their dinner that they thanked her kids and gave the family of five a bowl of ice cream. It wasn’t until King got home that that she noticed a $4 “well behaved kids” discount on her receipt to cover the dessert. (Source)

Hole in crotch. I wonder how it happened.

While a coffee is usually three euros there, if the customer says “please” then the order will be one euro cheaper. In addition, wishing the staff “good morning” knocks another euro off the price, meaning a coffee would only cost one euro. (Source)

I love a good discount!

Obviously.
