Local Macy's Employees Take Action Over Dress Code

I work for a non-union Macy's in Mishawaka, IN. What can non-union employees do about the dress code?

continue to dress in black what a lovely color

aren't there more important issues to whine about other than waht uniform you must wear to work?

geesh! as for me personally i really believe macy's staff persons needs re trained on their customer service skills...especially the robinson mall location

no skills at all! a bunch of gossipping goofballs who stand there w/o asking if youu need any assistance! especially the makeup counters!

Macy's employees are abunch of lazy,over made up,gossipping broads. I went there to purchase makeup last week and stood at the counter for approx 15min before being asked for assistance. i am refering to the robinson twp location also. What is up with the hiring ethics?

ban robinson mall macy's employees, lol! yeah i will be the first one at the front line! the service clerks are horrible there.

lol! i visited the robinson mall macy's over the weekend and trust you and me i will not be visitng again during my stay here in pittsburgh...clerks were airheads, lazy, and non-approachable.

go to your union you idiots,see what your dues will get you.what is this ,france? get to work for chrissakes.what, the co.doesnt reserve the right to tell its employees what to wear?typical of pittsburgh,any way to screw the boss.get a job somewhere else.this fable that pittsburgh is a hard working, blue collar town is a joke.people in pittsburgh will do just about anything to get out of work,it doesnt matter what industry they're in.call off from a bar when boss can hear the jukebox in the background,call off when there's 1/2 of snow,call off when power is out etc.keep reading your union newsletter you goofs.

I don't understand what the big deal is? Most jobs have dress codes. It makes you look more professional and they should understand that. They are made about paying money for clothes? Don't they get an employee discount on clothes anyway?

these employees are just a bunch of over paid suburbanites who have nothing else to do but bitch if they don't agree with the company policies and rules leave and get another JOB!

You must be a high level manager. And how does a sales clerk look "Professional" We throw that word around too much.

OVERPAID SUBRBANITES???? You try working for this lousy company and see how "rich" you get. I worked there for almost 6 years and it totally sucked and that was before Macy's took over Lazarus! You probably never had to work a day in your life let alone a crappy retail job and put up with abusive customers!

be a fry cook instead,now get to work and do what the boss requires.if not, get a rich husband or wife and take tranquilizerz all day!

They should be forced to wear clown suits.

Macy's hires no full time employee's no set hours or are on call and start at $7.oo an hour... Macy's is steadley working on getting rid of there full time employee's.....Why as an employyee should I care about you... You've had a bad day at work, come in a hurry don't have time and expect me to kiss your ass!!!! I'll treat you the way you treat me.....I'll say Hi you'll act like you didn't even hear me but when you need to be waited on you where hear first no matter whom I would be taking care of....Coupons.... the company can stick where the sun don't shine. We have rules to follow but you want us to give it to you for nothing.....Coupons......As for wearing Black it sucks.....I can go on & on but no body wins......

Yeah Right!!! Most Macy's start at 6.75an hour!!

Oh, for God's sake, if you don't like the job, QUIT. There's so much more to life, when an employer can't get employees, then they change or go out of business.
