What is appropriate?


As we all know we are in a fast paced work environment, and many of us sometimes need a little reminder. A co worker asked the following - if a customer is inappropriately dressed what should he do?

Our advice is do your job and forget what the customers are wearing. Follow the golden rule never tell a woman ‘excuse me, I can see your bra’ that woman knows she wore the see thru shirt. Remember you are in the transportation business and will encounter tons of customers who are not dressed appropriately. Therefore if you are waiting for appropriate etiquette then you are wasting your time. Look the other way otherwise you would not get through your day with those who carry themselves in lascivious way.

However if it is your fellow co workers it also depends. We live by the rule of thumb that we’d like to know - if our fly (zipper) is down, or spinach, broccoli, poppy seeds etc. are in the front of our teeth. We’d love to be gently reminded or alerted.

However if it is a female co worker, you better be careful - unless you are very well acquainted then you can inform her gently. Otherwise observe the golden rule of ‘silence is golden’ and look the other way to spare yourself any headache.

We are in the transportation industry not the fashion industry.
