Stores usually have a dress code or managers provide a jacket with the store’s name on it to show respect for the store’s name as well as the people who shop there.

I have an issue with stores that allow girls who work there to wear low-rise pants and shorty shirts. At one store, I was shocked to see a young woman wearing low-rise pants with a low cut shorty shirt on a ladder dusting items in the front main window. The stores have signs that say customers must wear shirts and must wear shoes in order to enter the store. I have to ask why that doesn’t apply to the workers? Are their stores not good enough to attract buyers without using half-naked girls?

What example does this teach our young people in the community about the real world? That kind of dress isn’t allowed in local schools, they should put up a sign that reads: must be 21 to enter. Another thing, I have seen these young people ring up cigarettes and alcohol. I thought cashiers had to be 21 to ring those items.
