11. Even aside from the issue of unfairness to employees, this makes no sense.

I agree that customers should be able to identify employees. Nevertheless, the mandated "uniform" isn't very uniform or very distinctive. I myself sometimes wear a navy collared shirt and khaki pants. (What can i say, I'm a boring dresser.)

Someone wearing the Walmart vest is an employee, even if wearing it over an unapproved shirt, like the guy in the picture. Someone not wearing the vest is not an employee, even if, like me, he happens to be in compliance with the rules. If the company is providing vests, why do they need a dress code?
