Ok, so my job has been hiring temps since the spring, and get the why, but damn. Most of these "guys" are kids, 18-24 ish, and are total greenhorns.

Now I may be a bit conservative in my dress, and these guys wear there own clothes in, while the rest of us have uniforms, but wow. Skinny jeans (which by the way should get an automatic man card revocation), hats with flat brims tilted to the side, and the best one is tonight's example. One guy came in in a power ranger t shirt, way too small, and I'm in total shock.... I can't even look at him. Am I that out of touch? Who would hire this clown?

We have noticed too they make no effort to look like they actually want to get hired. Im particularly fond of the tongue piercings that make them sound like they are talking with a dick in their mouths. Im mean jeez cant you clean up for an interview. Im not sure why but we seem to get less and less American born Caucasians kids looking for a job.

       I council many a juvenile and your adult as a police officer. The crap these kids are learning from social media, t.v. and school are even making their parent(s) head hurt. There is no accountability, its always someone else's fault they did or did not do something., ( kinda like the current administration ). I call it blame transference syndrome I am not sure if there is a real psychological or medical term, but it makes sense to me. Speaking of which there is also a medical term for everything that allows these kids to act the way they do, such as op-positional defiance disorder? Really they now have a medical term for being disobedient when you need to get your rear smacked?  Then I get the whole well they will call children services speech and I have to explain the difference between discipline and abuse. Its a shame the we make so many laws because the sheep want to blame everything on every one else and not be accountable to responsible for their actions and / or spare others feelings. I think the reason you guys are getting the morons are because the decent one are in college or serving in the military.

Well...I had a foot tall Mohawk in high school so I can't really talk

Like wise on and off in my mid twenties hid with a hat while at work. I've always made sure I'm respectable looking at work. Still wear a flat brim hat lol but it's always straight forward or back. Skinny jeans are insanely stupid along with "sagging" (no wonder those hood rats are getting shot by the dozens they can't run in that poop). On the other hand I see younger adults walking into Walmart for interviews in a suit and tie?! Seems a little over the top?

I've worn a t-shirt and shorts to talk to a recruiter about a 6 figure job (ok, just barely 6 figures but still :D). But that's because I honestly just don't care anymore, i'm stable and solid where I am, and i'm going to be comfortable. Ask me to go to an interview in a suit? i'll pass, thanks even though I have a few.

Saggin' and Skinny jeans are pretty much a safety issue, I tell them ! With the earrings, nose rings, dumb bells and chains its against company policy...Zero tolerance !

Had two guys with mohawks last year, never a problem. I embarrassed a kid who sagged everyday until I made creul and offensive statements about his state of dress ,He didn't like being the punch line of a bad joke. The next day forward his belt kept the pants in the proper place. Whse mgr told me thanks, said he couldn't say anything, PC BS.

I was cut from the baseball team because I was a skater punk and had a shoulder length mop the next day I shaved my hair and refused to play sports for a few years. No sagg no skinny just a hair cut. In pratice I jacked the coaches fastball over the fence. You can't judge a book by its cover but if you see underwear in the back you have a pretty good idea.
