TV Commercial

Have you seen the television commercial currently showing? The servers are wearing long sleeve white shirts. This may mean a new uniform standard coming down the pipe. I wonder if corporate is just waiting for all the colored shirts in inventory at the commissary to sell to stores. The stains on the red, yellow, and blue shirts are kind of hidden. I hate to think what white will look like. Should I risk buying an extra shirt just to have the requirement changed. If we are changing, it will be interesting to see how the transition is handled. Hopefully they will give us each at least two new shirts.

you will have to buy THOSE shirts yourself and yes, they get filty. you can only wear them ONCE, not days, and they WILL be professionally laundered.

Have you seen the television commercial currently showing? The food actually looks good and presentable! The servers are happy and everyone looks to be having a wonderful experience! If we are changing, it will be interesting to see how the transition is handled.

Yeah, I've seen the commercial... it would also appear that the servers aren't suffering from hangovers, cotton mouth, or a general malaise that comes from being bitter and jaded all the time. What is really needed is an army of Dr. Phil clones to come down and psychoanalyze everyone... but shirts would be okay, I guess.

we used to wear the long sleeved white shirts. they were horrible. We did have to buy them ourselves. Every little stain showed up, and you get a permanent one on your shoulder from carrying the trays. They were also very hot during the summer. Let's hope we don't go back to those.

You know that all potatoes have eyes. Well, Mr. and Mrs. Potato had eyes for each other and they finally got married and had a little one--- a real SWEET POTATO whom they called "YAM".

They wanted the best for little Yam, telling her all about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half baked because she could get Mashed, get a bad name like Hot Potato, and then end up with a bunch of Tater Tots. She said not to worry------no Mr. McSpud would get her in the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her! But she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. She would get plenty of food and exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato even told her about going off to Europe and to watch out for the Hard Boiled guys from Ireland and even the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. They also said she should watch out for the Indians when going out west because she could get Scalloped. She told them she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Blue Belles or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks you see around town that say Frito Lay.

Mr. & Mrs. Potato wanted the best for Yam, so they sent her to "Idaho P.U."-that's Potato University - where the Big Potatoes come from and when she graduated, she'd really be in the Chips. But one day she came home and said she was going to marry Dan Rather. Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset and said she couldn't marry him because he's just a...


COMMON TATER!!!!!!!!!

do not forget about the pants either. jeans have been a real problem. so i am guessing that with white shirts you get black dress pants. and not fashion ones. no low riders!!!

Are the brown new balance with the white N on the side the new uniform? I saw a server wearing them last night.
