Uniform Fittings

I would like to talk about our uniforms. We basically look like penguins with waitress trays.

Black pants...white tuxedo shirt...and black bow tie??? While yes I agree that it is professional, I don't think the uniform works year round.

In the winter its fine, but during the summer its a different story. We tuxedo shirts we have do not breathe at all. The past two summers that I have worked there, there have been days where it will reach over 100 degrees in the kitchen (the fan decides to break in the middle of August). Some people have almost passed out from the heat and running around a shift.


Would a short sleeve shirt be such a horrible idea for the summer? Even a longer sleeved shirt that was lighter would be adequate. It would allow for more comfort for the workers and would stop the unsightly sweat stains that can be seen by the party guests (ew!)

Oh, and one last thing. Shirts that actually didn't stain as easily would be lovely :)
