The dress code has changed to reflect how people today look and what they wear. It’s different, but doesn’t equate to lowering standards.It is simply about the brand and what product you are selling.
Are you selling yourself as a professional, world class service and entertainment company?
Or are you the local carnival with employees who look like they are out of a prison release program with bushy beards and tats up the arms and long hair as have been posted on this board?
The professionalism of Chick Fil A and In N Out employees in Southern California is more constant in my experience. They tend to be more polished, groomed, with better fitting uniforms - and they are local fast food outlets.
As has been pointed out before, the more they lower the standards, the easier it is fill the jobs, and the lower they can keep the wages.
Higher standards mean higher wages to attract more polished, professional service employees.
So by celebrating the lower standards you are also ensuring the cast will continue to be poorly paid.
There's a reason Four Seasons employees get paid more than Motel 6 employees.
People who accept the new look are simply being more open-minded about changing standards. They’re not ensuring Disney employees will be poorly paid just because they don’t insist that cast conform to an outdated dress code.
