Thanks for the aside about Florence King. I still miss her biweekly ration of insight, wit and humor. Thankfully, though, I have a sister-in-law. who is a native of Charleston, SC who embodies Ms. King's persona.
Interesting commentary about Starbucks outfits. Drama Queen, my 3rd daughter, used to work at Starbucks. I don't think she had to wear any particular shirt back then.
Webelos Camp staff get two free shirts, as well, but they still reek, unless their mother is also working on staff and takes their shirt home at night to wash. Probably some Starbucks employees live with their parents and can get their clothes washed on a quick turnaround, but what about those who don't?
My sons Thor and Sheldon live together in an apartment that doesn't have a washer. Sheldon, who works at Publix, goes to the laundromat, but Thor, who is in grad school, comes to our house every weekend to do his laundry. If either of them needed to wear the same shirt every day, they'd have to wash it in the sink and dry it with a hair-blower, because a retail or service worker doesn't have time to go to the laundromat every day or two.
