Employees who have to wear Santa hats or funny hats, or Hairnets even....

I'm trying to think and I don't ever remember having to wear a hat. I have never worked with food, I don't think I ever did. I don't think I would like it if I did have to wear a hat of any kind.

I have never worked but my best friend loved it when they would have "spirit" days. We would deck her all out for the holidays and some of the stuff we did to her was pretty funny. Like we put glitter all over her and garlin and reindeer antlers. It's so much fun.

I do wear a Santa's hat but by my own choice. I do see some though that look very uncomfortable like you say....and it's those little hairs that come loose and fall out that they are required to wear them. I really haven't seen any really bad ones.....

My office encourages people to be festive during the hollidays. I like to were festive ties, I have a tie for every holliday. I thinks it's wrong to force people to wear something if they don't want to, especially if it is not a holliday they celebrate.

I don't think they have to I think they choose to. Some people get really in the spirit. I'm one of those people who goes down the middle. Sometimes I like to wear and sometimes I don't.

i hated having to wear a hat when i worked in a kitchen...it always made me feel so hot and stupid looking... santa hats are not so bad to wear...but still make you feel silly while at work

i think hats are accessories where you can look better or worse ...but since this month is a christmas season the employees in the malls are obliged to wear to accentuate more the spirit of this event..i like to wear hats if is called for..

I never had the experience too,but if I do..if my job required it..I guess it would be fine with me..specially the santa hat..I guess it's nice spreading the spirit of christmas to everyone..and it's beautiful too look at them, the salesperssons in the mall..others even have the ligth in the red santa hat. :)

I have had plenty of jobs where I have had to wear a uniform, but I don't remember ever having to wear a hat. I think that a lot of people who wear the santa hats, do because they want to get into the spirit of Christmas. I do not think that a boss would be allowed to force someone to wear a santa hat. It deals with too deep of an issue. Maybe, they give them some sort of an incentive or bonus to wear it, but it would be against the law to demand that, I do believe. A lot of cooks do not like to wear the hair net. Especially, when it is hot. But, I have had more than my share of finding hair in my food and it probably isn't that harmful, but it is the thought. Kind of makes you wonder, what else didn't they do?

I don't know that I'd want my surgeon to have his hair uncovered - its very unsanitary & I wouldn't want to chance any of it falling in my body, just like I don't want it in my food.

Luckily I have never had to wear anything goofy for work. Not even a uniform!

I worked for a few weeks at a meat packing plant where it was required to have all your hair contained with a hair net, and we also had to wear white plastic helmets. I still have mine in the closet. The worst thing I've seen in headwear was at Red Lobster, where employees had to come out and sing happy birthday to a customer while wearing a lobster hat.

No, I haven't ever had to wear a hat where I work. I am thankful for this, because I don't sport head gear very well. Though at this moment I am wearing a santa hat and for if no other reason, it is keeping my head warm at the moment.
