[OPLINLIST] Open Toe Shoes/Dress Code Policy

[Laura Lee Wilson]

Yes, we do.

I always remind staff in the spring about our dress code (it seems to relax
during the warm weather months); dress professionally, wear clothing and
shoes appropriate for their duties.  Generally speaking we have a no butts,
no boobs guideline - if you bend over and I have to look at something that
should be covered it is in violation of the dress code - toes don't apply.

I'm sure there are cases where staff have had toes bruised in open-toed
shoes, but I personally have been bruised and beaten up on the legs, hips,
and arms by carts, tables, chairs, etc., maybe I'm just a klutz but if
folks are comfortable wearing sandals (not flip flops) I'm not going to
stand in their way.

That's my two cents.   ~LLW
