Soon, you'll be seeing a new look from the employees at your local Walmart store as the company has reportedly issued a new dress code.

The only problem is, the workers absolutely hate it.

HR exec Barbara Simone delivered the news of the new dress code on the internal company website that requires workers to wear a white or navy blue collared shirt with either khaki or black work pants, capris, or skirts.

Walmart employees leaked the following screenshots to Gawker.

Workers will also be required to wear a vest, and the description of the not-so-flattering garment might make you LOL.

In addition to being unhappy with the dress code, Walmart workers are upset that they have to spend their money on new clothes since the company won't be providing them with their new uniforms.

Some of them voiced their discern on the company website. Here are just a handful of them.

i have to agree with many of the negative comments I liked this company in the beginning but it seems they are out of touch with employees or there are to many "leaders"who really are not concerned with employees. In pharmacy we have had a light out for over a year, the heat is oppressive, we can not have water unless it is a small pointy paper cup with warm water from the sink. The counters are uncomfortably low and when ringing customers out causes so much back pain I personally have had customers comment at how uncomfortable the position we stand in to ring orders is. Now more money which I like many others just don't have to buy clothes and a hot vest. I understand that customers come first but I am a customer also and so are my friends and family. It is difficult to be great at your job when you feel so disregarded and expendable

 

Ive been at Walmart 21 yrs and i tend to keep buying better quality clothing other than the standard polo for a better appearance at work and it seems like its a waste of my money to keep changing the dress code and we are not given any clothing allowance or given 2 shirts for free.

 

Working conditions at my store are atrocious. There is little coverage in any dept. to provide anything close to decent customer service. CSS' at this store cover money center, run registers and many other tasks because the staffing/hours given to associates are mediocre- I am one of them. For ten years I gave my all but my efforts and voice are ignored. My complaints as well as other associates' seem to not matter one bit. Our registers and other equipment are slow and unreliable. I do not see how bringing back the vests as if we were living in 1994 will change anything. There are real problems to solve in our stores.

 

Management will be required to wear these vests as well right? Hmmmm

You can see more of their comments here at Gawker. What do you think of the new dress code? Do you think it will enhance your shopping experience at Walmart? Do you think the workers are overreacting, or is the new dress code unfair? Should Walmart also enforce a dress code for their customers?

On the bright side, this may be a step towards them opening more registers.
