What is it with uniforms in the workplace? Do employers make it their mission to make their poor staff look like the ugliest, un-trendiest people on Earth?
I think that most of the workplace uniforms are absolutely disgusting….starchy, crisp shirts, uncomfortable jackets, unflattering neck attire, long flat shoes….urgh, I shudder at the very thought. Adding insult to injury is the little name badge you have to wear.

I pity the poor buggars who work at Asda who are the ‘greeters’. There they are, in their gorgeous bright blue jackets sporting a HUGE yellow badge that reads…’MY NAME IS *insert name*’ How sorry do we feel for these poor people?

Here, I have compiled a list of the five worst uniforms in the workplace, in no particular order.

1. Specsavers

Horrendous saggy purple tops with no apparent shape un-complimented by a drab pair of trousers and jacket. I think it’s a good job that people who go to specsavers generally have problems with their sight, if they could see the damage I reckon they’d run a mile…Should have gone to Specsavers? Should have got a new wardrobe more like!

2. Asda

That’s Asda price alright…cheap, tacky and hard on the eyes! Luminous green shirts with accents of blue along with an unflattering pair of trousers.

3. Royal Bank of Scotland

What’s worse than wearing pearl earrings, a light blue neck scarf and flat squared shoes? Adding a blue and green tartan jacket of course! Sticking to the Scottish tartan could look cute if only you could accessorise with a nice pair of heels and lose the neck scarf. We even think the pencil skirt is kind of alright.

4. B&Q

I suppose the B&Q uniform isn’t too bad….give or take the BRIGHT orange shirt, tool belt and scabby name ‘sticker’…Hel-lo Stan…!

5. McDonalds

I’m lovin it….not! Grey and black polo shirt with trousers and a er…peak cap. Right. Oh yes, don’t forget the name badge with the little yellow stars…now that is really special….lets hope the McDonalds suit outrage actually takes place, surely it must be an improvement on what it is already!

So, there you have it. Some of the worst uniforms in the workplace. I would have posted images but to be fair, I didn’t want to scare you all away!

Let me know what your worst uniform has been and why!
