A Bow Tie Rebel
When I was 17 I worked at Walgreens and the dress code stated that men had to wear a collared shirt and tie. So me being a smart a** I used to wear a polka dot shirt with a black bow tie once a week. The old ladies loved it and commented on how it’s a shame nobody wears bow ties anymore. One day a grumpy middle-aged lady came in and was infuriated that her prescription was not ready yet and proceeded to yell at me at tell me how stupid my tie and shirt were and my mother should be beaten for letting me leave the house like that. I told her it’s not nice to bring someone’s mom into this. The store manager heard the lady yelling and came over, this is when the lady started telling the manager it’s “unprofessional” for me to wear a polka dot shirt and bow tie. Sadly I was told not to wear them anymore to appease the customer.
