[QUOTE="soberups, post: 380671, member: 14668"] I have had an ongoing issue with the poor quality of the new Twin Hill made-in-China uniforms and today I wound up being totally humiliated. I had a female customer point out to me that the seam [U]under[/U] the fly of my shorts....brand new ones mind you...had unraveled and come open. I have no idea how many stops I did with my fly open, and I am dreading facing my customers tomorrow. This is not a case of a uniform getting torn. That kind of thing happens, and you just deal with it. This is nothing more than some tight-butt UPS bean counter trying to save a buck by ordering cheap Chinese crap, and as a result I wind up spending half the morning with my johnson hanging out. At least [U]half[/U] of the Twin Hill uniforms I have gotten wind up blowing a seam or losing buttons within a day or two. They are pure garbage. I wound up driving home, about a 7 mile roundtrip off of my delivery area, to get a new pair. I told my sup that the 20 minutes I spent doing this would be on the clock, not my personal time. That is around $15 worth of overtime, plus about $4 worth of diesel fuel, all because UPS is too darn cheap to provide a decent uniform. I understand the need to control costs and remain competitive, but the bottom line is that you get what you pay for and a quality, properly fitting uniform is part of the cost of doing business.
