The manager. She can do it without having Flashy McCooter lift her skirt.
Day One: Have conversation with Flashy regarding underwear. Tell her that she has to start wearing appropriate undies, or she will have to resign.
Day Two: Approach Flashy, and say something like “I didn’t see your resignation on my desk. I’m very glad. Can I assume that you will wear appropriate underwear from now on?” Flashy says yes.
Theoretically, that should end the problem. If there are no more complaints, then fine.
If Flashy is suspected of NOT wearing undies, then the manager can ask her: “A customer/co-worker/I saw that you may not be wearing underwear today. What’s going on?” If Flashy admits that she isn’t, then she can be fired. If she insists that she IS wearing underwear, but the manager feels that there is a good chance that she is NOT…well, that’s what corporate HR is for.
Yeah, that’s kind of patronizing of the manager, but I think this girl is looking to be patronized (maybe in more ways that one.)
As for the breklasse lass, you don’t want to make corporate make rules about wearing underwear. If someone wants to go commando under their jeans, they ought to be able to. It seems like it’s more the short dresses that are the problem – I don’t think it’d be terribly appropriate for her to be flashing her underwear either, if she were wearing any. (Not that I’d complain, but not everyone’s a lech like me) The dress code says skirt/dress hems have to come down to 4" above the knee – couldn’t that be interpreted as 4" above the knee at all times? So if she raises her arms and the dress rides up to the point she’s flashing, it’s clearly not a dress-code-approved garment.
I agree. Really, it’s not unhygenic- as Homebrew later pointed out- if she is leaking so many secretions that they soak through her skirt, then another layer of even flimsier fabric won’t help. The hygene issue is just plain wrong- she’s not putting her naked ass on the counter. :dubious: Her genitals are covered from contact with anything- by her skirt.
It’s just either nudity taboos kicking in- or - jealousy over the tips she makes. It does sound to me that the waitressess are encouraged to wear short skirts, so it does sound like there is a bit of corporate backing for a teensy bit of cheesecake.
So- you make her wear underwear? So she wears a thong, and they they ban thongs. Then “t-backs”? Where does it all end- 4 layers of impervious hot sweaty undergarments including a silp and a petticoat? :rolleyes:
My advice to the OP- do your job, and let her do hers. You’re not her manager- MYOB.
FWIW, I think the short skirt rule is the relevant one here - as suggested by Sengkelat. If the company actually encourage this, then I can’t really see what anyone can do.
Well, some things are just not appropriate for the workplace. Especially food-service and again where there may be children watching.
Even the Hooter girls wear something under their tight shirts to prevent their nipples from showing through.
Now, as a male patron of such places I wouldn`t mind the view, but I think we have decency standards that should be upheld.
If all the waitresses bared ass or breast that would be one thing, and that would be the ‘type’ of restaraunt where the clientel would expect to see such things.
When one waitress takes it upon herself to act in such a way it makes it uncomfortable for many of the clientel and her fellow workers. This is crossing the line and should not be tolerated.
I don’t really have an opinion about CommandoGirl wearing underpants. Just an idea to help the OP’s manager.
Since you work in a corporaate setting (and I’m assuming here your corporate bosses aren’t local, or they’d have already fixed this), is there some sort of company letter head? If so, why not just post a memo about appropriate hygene issues. Be sure to add things like showering daily and wearing deoderant so that ComGirl isn’t clued in that it’s JUST about her lack of underwear. If the corporate bosses are indeed out of town than she won’t know they’re names, and they’ll never see the memo. Just sign it with some bogus name (there were some interesting names listed above) and a generic “V.P. of Somethings and Underthings” title. Have all employees initial the memo upon reading it, and she’ll (if she’s as ditzy as it seems) assume it’s a rule.
Just an idea, so that no one has to confront ComGirl on a delicate subject.
That being said, your manager should have enough power to simply tell her she’s out of line. She (the manager) got promoted to that position for a reason, and I’d imagine good judgement on her part is one of those reasons. Also, I’d guess most corporations would completly back up the mgr on this, before the server.
One more thought, if it’s against the rules to sit on the counters, and ComGirl is continually sitting on the counters, write her up for that, and then fire her when she does it again.
BTW, I skipped page 2 of this thread, so if this is a repeat of other’s thoughts, my apologies.
“If the corporate bosses are indeed out of town than she won’t know they’re names, and they’ll never see the memo. Just sign it with some bogus name (there were some interesting names listed above) and a generic “V.P. of Somethings and Underthings” title.”
Ah, so that’s what will work - create a fraudulent document. Must be someone from the Bush administration at work.
The answer is easy - the manger needs to take the woman aside and say “Your lack of underwear is inappropriate in this work environment. It creates a potential health hazard, it is distracting to other employees, and, most importantly, could very easily offend our customers - who we all rely on for our salaries. From now on, when you wear skirts to work, you will have to wear underwear. Failure to do so will result in your immediate dismissal.”
I used to work with a girl equally as classless that did the same thing. I would refer to her as “Yangle”, as in “you could see her triangle”, particularly when she wore this one yellow dress.
She also made sure everyone in our department at work was aware of the fact that she was getting a boob job.
