Well, today I did have my Malcolm tartan flashes on with my kaki kilt that conforms to the Walmart 'dress' policy.

I didn't see any today when I went, but I did buy 4 bags of red, white and blue peanut M&Ms. Does that count?

Nay. The blue vest were given up two years, ago. Mine was actually tan as I work in the Sporting Goods Department. We are now required to wear a navy/dark blue shirt and kaki/tan trousers or skirt if female. I have never had a manager question my wearing a kaki kilt. I do have one of the attractive female assistant managers who follows me so closely that when I quickly turn she bumps into me.

And then there is the female co-workers who question me in the back room if I am regimental............

Right!
