Why does it matter? It's nice to see a company not stifiling employees personal appearance. How are they disgusting, it's just something in an ear, no different than an ear ring, it's no more a health hazard.
It’s not a health hazard, but I also find it very ugly.
The fashion industry largely has a cold climate bias, since much of it is based in cities such as New York or Paris. I know some higher end brands will typically produce resort/cruise collections, but those aren't typically released until late fall, well after much of the spring collections from earlier in the year are no longer available in most stores. We just have to go with what they give us.
Cold climate bias? Maybe for guys, but it doesn't matter whether you're on the runway or in a Midwest big box store, most of the women's clothing is sleeveless/short-sleeved and made of lightweight flimsy material. Even the fall/winter collections.

Regardless of one's feelings on this trend, retail workers are not exactly a dime a dozen these days based on how may "Help Wanted" signs are in the windows. Management doesn't have the luxury these days of enforcing those kinds of restrictions, especially for competent and reliable employees. Our local newspaper had a front page article a couple weeks ago about even the health-care industry relaxing standards on fashion rules that used to be verboten.

Why does it matter that a national corporation is alienating some of its customers by the mutilated appearance of its front-line employees? I can't believe that you have to ask.

I have seen plenty of warm coats in women's Fall collections. You must be looking at Pre-Fall collections which are generally more lightweight than true Fall collections, but have similar color schemes.

what? I think the amount of customers they are alienating (because said customers are so offended by someone else's ear gauges that they would refuse to shop there) is pretty small. They are probably saying good riddance.
Ear gauges are not unsanitary nor do they impact the quality of your food. If you want to take your business elsewhere as a result, so be it. But that's on you.

Can't stand winged cat eye eyeliner. Looks so ridiculous and clownish to me. When someone does their makeup like that, I can't stop looking at it and thinking how stupid it looks.
Also do not like cold shoulder, cut out tops. A lot of the tops would look nice or at least okay if it was just sleeveless. But having sleeves with holes in the shoulder/upper arm part makes most tops look super cheap and tacky.

I don't (or shouldn't) need a coat inside. I'd like some clothes with some coverage (long sleeves, non-plunging necklines, material thicker than gauze). Those are in short supply.
And actually, regarding coats - you'd be surprised how flimsy those are too. Just because they look warm and have faux fur around the neck does not mean they will actually keep you warm when the temperature dips below freezing and the wind is blowing. Many of them are no more effective than a spring windbreaker.

But in warm climates like mine, the last thing you want to do is wear TWO shirts between, say, May and October!
It gets pretty warm in Missouri too. I usually avoid layering, and thus thin, see through tops and sweaters, because I don't want to wear another layer under it.
