Wish I could wear a uniform...

What I go through the quickest, especially in winter, are PANTS! I split the belt, so the constant leaning over, and rubbing up against the belt, causes pants to eventually wear down and develop holes/tears around the front of the mid-thigh. In summer I basically just have a set of 2 or 3 gym shorts that I recycle, and wash with other laundry as needed, so those tend to last longer.

It sounds like you're wearing the wrong size pants. I've been wearing the same pants for 5+ years now. And my shorts are about 8 years old.

ASK FOR A WORK APRON. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT!

That is all.
I've never seen anyone in my facility wear one. I'd feel like a 'tard if I was the only one...

no one wears them because no knows about them. Once you wear it many will follow suit. Seen it happen. in my building it started as a way to annoy a particular preload sup and then exploded into everyone wanting one. He didn't even know where to order them.

I gave my tax guy a list of my write-offs and he first told me I couldn't write off my black socks, white t's and underwear because I could also wear them outside of work. I was like, "Bro, if you would see this stuff after working at UPS there is no way I would wear this stuff outside of work, even if I wanted to." He changed his mind rather quickly.

​How did you spend the 17 dollars you got back?

This. I raised h*ll after I had a basal cell carved out of my face to get one of the big floppy hats. I had to call the district safety wonk. Then, everybody had one.

I asked my center manager about getting a work apron yesterday at pcm. I was told we aren't allowed to wear them while working, as they could become a slip and fall hazard if they became untied. The same could be said about boots, perhaps we should all load barefoot lol. :rolleyes2:

You mean you haven't memorized the 7 Steps to Properly Tying an Apron?

Shame on you.
