As a believer, first and foremost, in the dignity of the independent individual, I don't argue against the thinly-veiled fascism called Political Correctness, only to see it sabotaged by senseless Korporate Konformity, all of it to please the last psychosexual hang-up of some oversheltered, suburbanite metrosexual twerp with a few extra dollars to spend.
Entrepreneurship made our nation great; but there comes a time when common sense is increasingly crowded out by an attempt to accommodate the foibles of some nameless, faceless customer who, increasingly, resembles the stereotypes were told not to sink to in the conduct of our personal lives.
Clearly, the rule of reason is eroding at both ends of the spectrum of human conduct.
Looked over the website and wares...what caught me was the 'east and west coast' locations. I guess anything flyover is not sophisticated enough to be mesmerized into opening the wallet by a vapid automaton. Oh well, I guess it's a paycheck, right? Just balance the company demands of what costume to wear with actual pay to assure you're coming out ahead sufficiently for the time being.
How about you actually work there before you start complaining about the place? Going in with the atitude you have, you will not last long because everything is already a negative with you.

I'll bet you'll be the first to whine when Mr. Obama and his entourage of hacks and cronies throw some of their weight in your direction.

Individuality should not be the concern of the employer. As long as they spend THEIR money, they should set all the rules regarding expectations. I'd suggest the non-conformists set up competing businesses to run against those employers, and prove their business model superior.
