Businesslike Appearance

Businesslike Appearance

Revised 9/2/22

Team Members are expected to maintain a businesslike appearance that is appropriate, neat and clean, as determined by the requirements of the work area. Dress and appearance must not be offensive, distracting or divisive to customers or to other Team Members. Appropriate attire is clothing suitable for the job and safety requirements. We hope that you have enough pride and self-esteem to maintain your appearance at better than acceptable standards.

Core Businesslike Appearance

Clothing and Accessories

• All clothing must be clean, non-stained, non-faded and non-tattered.
• Clothing may not contain writing, with the exception of the Jerry's logo. Other logos are acceptable if they are smaller than 2"x2".
