^ 🤣 I can wear whatever I want to work. (not to wait tables though…) I hear you guys on the shoe issue though. The last pair of work shoes I bought were Sketchers Work shoes. $55, and shipped to my door because The Shoe Dept. didn’t have my size in stock. They felt great on my feet, but within 9 months had holes in the toes. So I just went and bought a pair of shoes from Payless on Saturday, wore them for an hour before they hurt my feet like hell. ☹ But I guarantee they won’t have holes in the toes in 9 months. You win some, you lose some. ---

Higher efficency equals better profit margins which will mean he will probably get a bigger bonus. Problem is personal hygene and why most offices do not allow sandles and open toe shoes to be worn. I’m not talking about just washing them. I see a lot of people in the summer time who shouldn’t be wearing sandels out. ---

I could care less about shoes. I just goto Kohl’s and look for the cheapest pair of shoes and get a size 11 and walk out the door. I got my last pair of running shoes for $15 and they have lasted for a few years now, I couldn’t even tell you what brand they are. I got my dress shoes at payless for $10, and they are comfortable and have lasted a few years also. I will never pay more than $30 for a pair of shoes. ---

Most of the shoes I buy I get for work and they are usually specialty shoes. Weather they be steel toe, Jump boots, or what ever so I usually have to pay a lot at the smae token they also last a while. Other than that I usually just buy name brands if they are on sale. I think My last pair of adidas I got form kaufman’s for like 40 bucks. After I wore through them I got I think Nike from kaufmann’s on sale for like 45. I only buy them though is they don;t look like they were made for a moon mission. I really hate that shit. ---

There’s some truth to wearing proper shoes. I wore old tennis shoes when I put my lawn in (old like missing some of the inside where your toes are). After wheeling 50 wheelbarrows of rocks and dirt across the yard, both of my big toes were numb for about two months.
