What am I looking at?

A shot from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The private school jackets are a dull blue, but the interior lining has this wild pattern. So, he turned it inside out.

She looks like shes about to tell me to stop running down the school hallway

But could a McDonald's site manager afford to dress like this? Or be allowed to?

This is how they had to dress. Even the cashiers and cooks had to be business casual. And they had to buy the uniforms out of their wages.

Today they wouldn’t be able to afford to, but that’s what stagnant minimum wage and soaring corporate profits has gotten us.

I don't know about your area but mine is nearly all those slow ass Touch kiosks. At best there is one person manning the till.

It would amuse me greatly if they dressed up the kiosks like this though.

Now I'm imagining a Total Recal / Demolition Man universe where a snappily-dressed hologram cashier takes your order while smiling and making eye contact with the wrong point in space. The occasional glitch or static for bonus points.

You may not be able to actually talk to her; she may just respond to your touch-screen selections.

Coming soon!

My first job was as a cashier at a grocery store. When I started they required everyone to wear a white button up shirt, black pants and a tie. Hilariously that's the only job I've worked where I've been expected to wear a tie. Anyways about a year after I started they shifted to these weird slightly patterned shirts and you could either wear that or a dress shirt and the tie was optional. Now they've shifted entirely to just black pants and a red or black logo wear shirt and nobody wears ties anymore. It's not even been that long! I'm not old enough to see this much of a change am I?!

What, no cufflinks?

You have to spring for the french fry cuffs.

Did it win a Caldecott award?

That's actually stylish as hell

Popular sizes come in size XXXXXXXXL

AKA an American size small.

As much as America is fat as shit the rest of the world is not far behind unfortunately.

It's a big range actually. US isn't at the top, but you do have countries like Denmark at 15%.

I can see that coming back to be en vogue once more.

😐

I’d wear it for a day & get a feel for what’s happening.

Weird thing is a lot homies that identify as pretty straightforward milk toast peeps might like it. And then it gets into weird mustache opines.

Dan Flashes Mcdonalds is a very aggressive store. I mean, you walk by a store and you see 50 guys who look just like me fighting over very complicated shirts, you go in. Yes, you do. You go in.

It's the pattern on the shirt!

I'd sniff the seat of that pantsuit if you know what I'm saying.

Do you think she rocked a "landing strip"?

I think she rocks a full unmaintained β€˜70’s disco bush.

From your lips to God's ears. 🀞

That pic is from 31 years ago, you'd smell Geritol and Metamucil now.

Stop that I’m aroused enough already.
