Kroger, a major grocery chain, has implemented its first dress code update in 10 years, requiring nearly 400,000 in-store workers to wear company-issued shirts featuring Kroger’s shopping-cart logo. Employees will wear T-shirts or polos while managers receive button-down shirts or quarter-zip jackets, all in blue, red, or black depending on the store division. Previously, employees wore their own clothing under a company apron with an identification badge. The new policy was driven by feedback from both shoppers and workers, aiming to enhance customer service. Kroger claims that associates appreciate the fit of the uniforms and customers find it easier to identify team members. Additionally, the retailer improved its existing aprons by adding straps that cross in an X across the back to reduce neck irritation.
