Dress Code

While I understand your frustration with the whole ordeal, I don't think it's quite justified. I used to work at a chain deli and we were required to not only wear company tee-shirts, but hats as well (with pins notifying our "certifications" in certain positions). Keeping up with the uniform and having to look at it in my closet was annoying, yes, but it serves a purpose. For our customers, it made us easily identifiable so that we could be flagged down to help with something that they needed, and I felt that it was nice that all of our staff was wearing pretty much the same outfit (we were allowed conservative jeans, so yay). I know I don't have many dress-it-up options in my closet, so in a way it was nice to throw the pomegranate in my backpack and bike to work and not worry about it. As an employee of that company, you I'd assume that it's your responsibility to be the "face of the company," so obviously having their name or logo on your shirt let's people (i.e. future or current customers or clients) that you represent this company. Degrading as it may be, which personally I don't feel like it is, it serves a purpose, so it really shouldn't blow your mind.

Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion, though! Truth be told, I burned my tee-shirts after I left the company.
