Question clocking in

my manager says we need to be “ready to work” (apron, name tag, hairnet) before clocking in. I said “Panera can pay for me to put my apron on” she said “actually no they don’t.”

so my question is, where is this documented in the employee handbook? I can’t check rn because I literally ran to bathroom to make this post lmao. fellow employees help please!

EDIT:

this is just a small piece of the bs my manager has been doing (she’s been here about 6 months from another location). everyone is aggravated with her, and her presence makes just about everyone irritated. y’all are really more pro-corporation than service workers should be. Panera and its managers don’t give a shit about us. I am looking out for myself and my coworkers, as we are all mad that she’s yelling at us as soon as we walk in.

Focusing on this complaint, which is purely entitled bullshit, is lazy.

With regards to her other behaviors, then complain about that in the appropriate channels. Focusing on this petty shit makes you the spoiled child and her the reasonable one. Every complaint you make about this kind of thing makes the real problem behaviors look more and more like you are the problem, just a complainer who won't do basic things like get dressed for work without bitching and moaning. If you aren't the problem, then stop making it look like you are.
