As a former Starbucks employee starbucks has always had some form of "dress code" which has always been pretty lax. Just because they are requiring you to wear a more "uniform" dress code that probably also follows food health and safety regulations isnt uncalled for by Starbucks. You also seem to forget that it is a huge corporation so there will always be a disconnect to the partners that are there day in and day out in these locations. What I don't understand is why the workplace is supposed to be the environment for self expression, work is a place you get paid to perform jobs/tasks. Self expression is for your free time. You are still an individual even if you have to wear a uniform, which most places of employment require. The lack of staffing is definitely something to continue to bring to light but the uniform is such an i significant thing to be worked up about.
