There's a dress code here?

Have you ever worked where you had to wear a uniform? How about a specific color on certain days? Most call centers have some kind of business casual dress. The reason for this is varied by organization and can change as often as the upper management changes.
Normally, the organization is good about giving some kind of notice when the dress code is going to change or if there is a specific time when it needs to be adjusted.
About 2 to 3 years ago, the center I work in went to what is referred to as "casual" dress.
Now this doesn't mean that there aren't things you can wear to work. Yes, there are still rules and regulations that have to follow just as anyone who works in an H.R. department.
Since you are going to a business establishment for the next 8 plus hours, your close should fit you. This means that they should not be so tight that you have to have your belt undone, the top 3 buttons undone and your shirt hanging over the top in the vain attempt to hide the before mentioned facts. It also doesn't mean that you can wear the same spaghetti string top that refuses to stay up and cover what god gave you. While some may like the view, there are others that don't. Again, did i mention this is a business and not the nearest club.
What about lounge wear? Well, when my P.J's are the same pattern and the same color....the answer is "ah NO". As a business, I have purchased ergonomic chairs and set up stations for you to work at comfortably. This isn't your coach and that computer isn't your T.V. We want you to be comfortable however, we pay you to do a job not lay back in your chair and go to sleep.
Tops that you used to be able to fit in 3 sizes ago aren't attractive and should be given to your little sister or even the Goodwill. There are numerous people out there who would gladly take them off your hands. Speaking of Goodwill, if you know you are going to have to dress up for a specific day and don't have any clothes appropriate, they have plenty of options dirt cheap.
I know that life is tough and I know what it is to struggle to make ends meet from pay check to pay check. However, when you have known for 2 weeks that there is a change in the dress code for two specific days out of your life and make no effort to get the necessary clothes needed i have little sympathy for your situation. Why do you wait till the night before and then go to your boss and say i don't have any clothes appropriate for tomorrow i am going to have to call in? That $5.00 you spent on your pack of cigerettes would have gotten you one pair of pants from the Salvation Army or Goodwill. You would be amazed at what they have there...there is one just 10 minutes from my house that gets new stuff from some of the major stores each week and you can get never worn, price tag still on it for the cheap.
Hospitals, Walmart, restaurants and most of every other organization i know has some type of dress code...........why would you think a call center would be any different?
Last question for you all....would you wear a pair of jeans out in public with so much of the ass end out of them you knew enough to put a pair of spandex shorts on under them? Ok, every one follow along no and say N and not in this life time, O for outside of this premise is exceptable only.
