[dowofbuchanan]

well i was off the clock but when i was a walmart employee i was kilted in my store a few times, my manager expressly forbade it during clock hours. i too share in the disdain for the evil juggernaut that is walmart

At Wally World, I can wear only a khaki kilt to comply with their “dress” policy of khaki p@nts. In my day job, I wear tartan kilts about twice a week. It was a nice encounter, but I didn’t tell them I enjoy kilt wearing for the attention I get from the ladies.

You can wear brown too. I have a chocolate Workman's Utilikilt that I wear to work at my Wal-mart. There is another guy at my store that started wearing a kilt after I got away with it. I didn't ask permission, I just did it. Someone started a thread on the forum at MyWalmart about wearing a kilt to work so there are others out there besides us.

Thanks for chiming in Red Stag! I'll have to check out that thread at MyWalmart. My avatar there shows me kilted in Sporting Goods.

Besides being kilted on Fridays, I'm now also kilted on Sundays. My part time job at Wally World I work Sunday for eight hours. During the week, I work only evenings. I keep Saturday as my day off from both jobs.

Since the summer, I’ve been wearing a khaki kilt on Sundays at WM. During the summer I wore my Buzz Kidder. That last two months I’ve worn an Utkilt.

Here’s a smattering of comments the last couple of Sundays.

• “Isn’t too cold to wear that thing?’ No, I reply I have a heater under there.
• Over heard in the back room; “It must be Sunday, Scottie is here.”
• “It’s the kilt guy!” Comment by one of the gals from the Tropical Smoothie Café.
• Lots of “Like your kilt”. A funny one was said in asking a question without skipping a beat in saying it.
• “Where are you from?” My reply, Spotsylvania.
• “Are you Scottish/Irish?” Yes, when I’m wearing a kilt.
• “Are your wearing underwear?” My reply, “Are you wearing underwear?” “Uh, yes.” Dumb question isn’t it.
• “What’s the occasion for the kilt?” It’s International Kilt Day.

Not the best pix. I really like the UTkilt for work at WM. I’m hoping the low price paid for it will encourage other Associates to wear one who are interested.

Is this is a culture clash or what? Perhaps a mystic quest to go to the back of the store and buy a flash drive in electronics?
What a whoot... it took 3 years for my clients to get use to me wearing a tie to the medical practice where I work. The clients barely batted (sp) an eye when I wore my kilt the Friday after Halloween.
I wore my kilt to the Newport Aquarium in Newport Ky last week... I can make to the back of the store & out
I will challenge my fellow plaid & pleated to post pictures from the ..."back of the store". How many of us can do it in a month? glengerry optional

Management relaxed their dress code for December allowing Associates to wear Christmas attire. Also, today was my debut of my a new khaki kilt from Kilted Nation. I had purchased it from Brad who was a Vendor at the Central Virginia Celtic Game.







There are two side cargo pockets that are detachable. It has a snap system for the three kilt buckets; which gives you good waist adjustments. The material is soft to the touch and there is a substantial amount of it. It will keep me warn this winter.

Before I had entered the store, someone honked their horn in the parking lot and shouted, “Sir, I want your autograph”. To customers and children I gave a hearty; Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas! Many comments from the ladies both staff and customers are how festive I looked. One gal complimented me on my style and to keep it up.

I heard quite a few kids say, “Look Dad/Mom there is Santa”. I put on a “bear bell", we sale in Sporting Goods to have a jingle as I walked.


At the end of the day, I sat with Santa to get a few pointers.


December is going to be fun month!

You're a braver man than I am. Was in WalMarche' this afternoon kilted (RKilt green leather) and a buddy said he'd just had his photo with Santa and I should too....I declined...just couldn't bring my aging ego to do that again...

[Mike_Oettle]

Mael C, you could give Santa a few pointers yourself. His beard is fake, yours is not. You have plenty of red in your outfit, and he has no kilt!
