Remembering a documentry about Indian Railways reminded me how the drivers just seem to wear whatever.
Which then led me to think about office people wearing suits to work.
Are they on the way out?
Many call centres allow people to wear whatever as "customers" don't see the people anyway. I wouldn't care if a ticket seller was wearing whatever they wanted, so long as it wasn't offensive writing or really low cut tops, short skirts or similar. Obviously there's a line. But if they'rer wearing jeans and a t-shirt, I wouldn't see it any different to if they were wearing a uniform.
Train Drivers would need appropriate shoes but would anyone care if they wore jeans and a jumper? Hell, some freight drivers do anyway!
Yes, it's good in some instances for identification of staff and I guess it promotes that the person has some skill and knowledge but are uniforms and smart dress wear for work on the way out?
