I worked retail part-time throughout college and at both stores we were required to wear a tie (toy store and software store). Never made sense to me and I’ve never had to wear a tie again since. ---

I have worked where I wore a tie every single day. I found there is only one thing that can make ties tolerable. One must buy dress shirts with a collar size at least two inches larger than the real girth of one’s neck. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-neckties/820416.md?page=2)
