(#10) No Blue Jeans
From Redditor /u/yuckierbigfoot:
I work at a bookstore. We have no dress code other than, "No blue jeans." I never really questioned it, I mean I assumed it was because jeans could seem too casual? Until one day my coworker told me the reason for the rule was because there was a guy who used to work there a few years back who wore the same blue jeans every single day to work, and he never washed them. My boss would tell him over and over again to wash his damn pants as they were becoming dirty and smelly. Realizing he couldn't physically force the guy to wash them, my boss just created the rule that NO ONE was allowed to wear blue jeans ever again.

(#9) Don't Sit – Big Brother Is Watching
From Redditor /u/MushroomGoats1:
We're… not supposed to sit unless we're eating because we always have to be ready to help customers. But our tiny store goes for literal hours without seeing a single soul… Someone at the home office watches us and calls us if they find us sitting, even if there's no logical reason for me to be standing.
