Kilts-To-Work Strategy, Part Deux

[Chef]

My proposal, when I get to that point, is that I don't wear a kilt in front of customers - period. I think that's a reasonable concession to offer.

I definitely think your boss should see you in a kilt away from work. Once that's done then you could ask about the possibility of wearing it to work occasionally. If that is successful then I think your proposal will work with your boss.

Or, you could do what I did...Just wear it one day.

I work at a very customer oriented retail operation. So, there was some definate potential issues. However, I wore it and not hardly a word was said. No one really cared. Sure, there was the ribbing from the closer co-workers/friends, but I expected that. Actually, I expected more flak than what I was given.

Of course, I get a lot of comments from customers. ALL positive so far. It helps that our best customer absolutly loves the kilt.

So now, I'm up to at least once a week. Sometimes two, and when I'm not at work about 90% of the time.

I say go for it. I understand the trepidation, but they can only ask you to go change, then you'd know more about where you stand. Then you could raise the "But the women can wear skirts" argument.

Kilt up and charge!
