[QUOTE="Average at Best, post: 331484, member: 14548"] Yes, I given a specific list of how many of each item I can order this month. They did some analysis in their cost planning program, put a price to each article of the uniform, and how much I can spend. Granted, I may be able to buy FOUR pairs of shorts, so long as I buy one less shirt or whatever. I think the uniform thing is a unique issue with our local accounting folks. I heard that when an accounting sup went out to help with peak this past year, he saw two huge boxes full of brown toques, and when he reviewed that center's cost in january, they had the biggest uniform expense in the district. It's just irritating, because they made us start buying cheaper quality uniforms that need replaced more frequently, and then they make us limit how often we replace THOSE. They made us switch to cheaper copy paper (we now buy the kind that sticks together), and we now have to limit how many boxes we buy. I understand that times are tough, but sometimes you have to spend money to make money, and sometimes cheaper isn't better. [/QUOTE]
