However, I think these shirts are still too wide - I'm pretty much swimming in this medium when it comes to the horitzontals. I'm of average weight and I look anorexic in this thing. Geez.</p> <p>Oh, well. At least, we're not violating dress code. Yay! </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088&page=2#post-71310 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 22:59:06 +0000 pumpkinspite 71310@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'd love my refreshers shirt, except my stupid DM refuses to order appropriate sizes and we're all swimming in oversized shirts and have the diaper look going on from trying to tuck an extra foot of shirt into our pants -_-</p> <p>I'm pretty disappointed, because the shirts themselves are fairly nice. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088&page=2#post-71293 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:16:23 +0000 derpdaderp 71293@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I wish we had fitted baby tees to enhance our feminine curves.

I was the last person in my store to get one and it was either that or the XXL. I'm going crazy with the.fact that our aprons DON'T EFFIN MATCH THE SHIRTS AT ALL. They totally clash. It wasn't a very well thought-out design... </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-71030 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:18:12 +0000 doublecupped 71030@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'm kind of glad my SM isn't requiring us to wear a collar shirt under is. You know, seeing that it's as hot as the surface as the sun outside.</p> <p>I got a size Small, which I'm glad about. But it hangs on my chest wonky, so it looks like I have linebacker sized shoulders and a massive uni-boob. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-71017 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:38:26 +0000 Allison 71017@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I think one of our openers on Free Refresher Friday wants to try wearing the XXL as a shirtdress with shorts and a belt. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-71008 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:31:06 +0000 coolbeans 71008@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I wore my shirt this morning, came home and hand washed it in anticipation of wearing it again tomorrow, and the water turned black. Make sure you wash this separately or with other black items. Maybe I got a bad shirt, but I just wanted to warn you folks. I used Woolite in cold water, btw. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-71004 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:06:42 +0000 Anonymous 71004@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I'm swimming in my shirt right now.

Boiled some water and soaked them then threw them in the dryer for 2 hours on the highest heat and the highest tumble and it did nothing. The graphics didn't melt on either but they didn't shrink. It's a p!ssoff because I hate wearing a L shirt that drapes over me. I feel stupid and it looks stupid and unprofessional. Why don't they just ask the people what they wear to order instead of auto shipping one small one medium and 15 XXL's. We aren't all fat Starbucks. Now your employees look like thugs with baggy t shirts. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70904 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 17:32:55 +0000 baristanewbie 70904@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@ryuness, how much does that help? I'm concerned that using any kind of shrinking technique (wash/dry on high heat) might potentially melt the graphics but I definitely need to shrink mine :P </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70829 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 23:31:22 +0000 ketchup 70829@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@dry sharpie already ahead of you man, cutting down my old collared shirt to just have my chest covered, not even have sleeves and use it to have a collar! lol </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70820 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 22:33:20 +0000 Maladybess 70820@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>Not big on the swoosh on the front, but, whatevs. I'm a licensed store in a hospital.... Technically a hospital employee who just happens to work in the Starbucks. (ie - We have to wear hairnets. ug) Our manager is having us wear the shirts and tuck the top half of our aprons down behind the lower half. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70775 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 10:59:04 +0000 frapmasterd 70775@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>I don't usually have problems with apron chafe...</p> <p>try tying your apron tight around your waist and loosening the neck tie so that it's there but not really pulling. that works for me (and we're allowed to wear tees every wednesday and saturday) </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70760 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 04:49:34 +0000 Dry Sharpie 70760@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@ketchup: Wearing a polo shirt underneath helped for the mandatory blonde T-shirt days.

It makes our job look mediocre (if it wasn't there already). It takes the professionalism of the job away. The shirts alone would be nice... Then again if the shirt gets dirty, they definitely wouldn't want us working with visibly dirty shirts.</p> <p>They'd flip ^_^ </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70740 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:48:51 +0000 ketchup 70740@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>the shirts are...ok... im a graphic design student and i dont care for them lol, but yes, my neck is going to hurt so badly! my crew and i plan on wearing a collared shirt under just to be safe, we've got to wear em from tuesday-sunday my dm told us. idk, maybe just our district </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70738 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:21:08 +0000 Allison 70738@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>My SM told us (people scheduled for sampling shifts) that we did NOT have to wear the apron on the floor. We divided the shirts first among the people scheduled for sampling, and then the partners working on free refresher day. I love the shirts, they're really 80s looking. I have a pact with a SS in my store, we're going to wear our hair in side ponytails with scrunchies on friday. Yeahhhhh. </p> http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/topic.php?id=7088#post-70492 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 08:13:14 +0000 Dry Sharpie 70492@http://www.ihatestarbucks.com/bb/ <p>@stranger: Don't worry, you'll grow into them.</p> <p>Why give us T-shirts when we have to wear an apron? Did the concept of a COLLAR not occur to the idiots at corporate? Yes, a polo shirt or dress shirt is part of the required uniform, but <em>HERE'S A T-SHIRT!
