What would you think of this?

I would think McD's should give her some work shirts that fit. If that happened here, today, that poor girl would get frostbite on her belly working at the drive thru!

I can't remember how many work shirts we each got for free when I worked at a pizza place when I was 19, maybe it was two. If you wanted more you had to buy them for maybe $5-7 each. When I worked at an office supply store each full time employee got I think four, and part timers got two. Beyond that you had to buy them if you wanted additional shirts.

Obviously not up to dress code, but not something I'd worry about any further. The poor girl is pregnant and working at McD's, for God's sakes.

I remember working at Subway when I was pregnant with DD. I had two jobs, the other was in a Dr's office (I wasn't a nurse at that time). I would have died before I'd worn something that let my belly show, but i definitely was skirting the policy with my Capri length leggings for the last month I was there. LOL I felt so sorry for me. I had no interest in buying a pair of black maternity pants for a job I planned on leaving once giving birth, though.

They should have her wear a cami under her shirt at the very least or supply her with a larger shirt. I don't care what ppl do on their own time, but on the job you should look professional. Even at McDonalds. This is on her manager.

Yes. If I were her manager, I would supply her with a new shirt. If she could not afford the payroll deduction, I would have them deduct itfrom my check.

Yes! I don't know if McD's supplies those shirts or if the employees have to buy them, but I couldn't stand by and watch one of my employees dressed like that. It can't be comfortable, and it is definitely NOT professional. As a Manager I would address the issue with her, and if need be, just buy it myself.

Most places give you one or two shirts when you start, and then you buy more when you want/need them. It is no different than buying clothes when you work a job....

Inappropriate 

Yes, perhaps a little but it may be the only thing she has that somewhat fits so I wouldn't think much of it.

Aww. I for sure wouldn't mention it. She's pregnant. Clearly pretty far along by your description. Wouldn't give it another thought.

I would not say anything - though I am sure I would notice.

It is probably the only thing she has to wear and maybe her due date is soon. I would give her an understanding smile and move on.

I have never had a job pay for the cleaning of my uniform. Just laundered it myself. I am pretty sure you can take a tax deduction for your uniform and their cleanings if you keep good records and don't file the EZ form [/quote]

I am sure you are correct and there are many that don't.  

The mailroom of a mid sized bank was one of the departments that I managed, we provided their uniforms which included their cleaning.  We used the company UniFirst for this.  I also have family in law enforcement, their uniforms and cleaning are also provided for them.  A friend of mine works for a concrete company who also provide uniforms and cleaning.  This is really the only experience that I have with uniforms, so I admit that it may not be typical for most places.

That ^^

I had to buy and clean my shirts. She might not want to buy lots of shirts for her pregnancy and might not have another clean or she might of under estimated how big she was going to get and doesn't want to spend the extra cash on something that she will only wear for a few weeks. My work shirts weren't cheap as chips. So I limited them, as I could only wear them at work.
As for seeing a pregnant tum, doesn't register on my radar. Not everyone can afford a new wardrobe and the money is better spent on nutrition and a safe place for the baby to sleep etc.

Back in the dark ages when I was pregnant, it was almost like we had to pretend we weren't when we got dressed. Every thing was big and floofy and had hideous bows. I am five feet tall and generally looked liked a walking circus tent. All this belly showing took me a bit of getting used to and frankly I am a little jealous of the cute maternity clothes that are available now. A big belly at McDonalds I would notice, but probably wouldn't think much about beyond the fact that I would worry that big belly would bump into stuff and likely hurt.


I'm such a dork, I like McDonald's coffee.
