Shopping in uniform/ asa

[CA1900]

Plus, corporate pilots have to stock the plane themselves. The guy in the supermarket picking up 2 cases of water, 25 M&M's, granola bars and 2 six packs of Miller and Bud Light might just be between legs there in a crew car.

You spotted me! :laugh:

Never thought anything about it. If I need something, I buy it and it doesn't matter to me whether I'm in uniform or not. It's no different than a UPS guy, a nurse, or a Terminex guy going to the store, in my book. I'm not there for a fashion show, and I'm not there for fun either. I just do what I do..............impressing/offending someone at the store is so unimportant to me I just don't give it any thought. Besides, if I'm at a market in uniform I must TRULY need something before going home- I can't buy beer when I'm there wearing it. I don't even buy beer if I "sanitize" the shirt of badges, tags, lanyards, etc.

You can't buy beer in uniform? News to me.

Like the above poster said, as a corporate pilot I buy beer all the time. Whether its for the the pax or for me? No way for them to disseminate. Although I wouldnt wear a 121 lanyard/badge while doing it either.

Same here. I'm not afraid to buy booze with my uniform on. I just ditch the badge. Making a big deal out of nothing.

Are there actually morons out there who go out of their way to change out of their uniform to run into a store for a loaf of bread? Jesus.

Yeah, I'm sure there are tools who parade around town in their uniform looking for attention, but who cares?

The way some of you abhor the uniform is actually quite telling......

I like to wear my uniform around the neighborhood; it proves to everyone that I actually have a job...

Good grief...another bunch of "too cool for school" responses. Yes, there are some toolbags out there. But we're not f-ing Bruce Wayne. Ostentatious behavior doesn't make us awesome, but neither does anonymity. I wish our colleagues would spend their time worrying about wearing the uniform correctly rather than when they should. And, yes...I realize that the thread was designed as a "SureJet" joke.

You mean it's not proper to have spikey hair, an ipod, sunglasses on top of the head and/or a backpack???

Uniform violators should be forced to wear a full-bodied Coca-Cola can costume to work for a month (or until they learn how to follow rules). Coca-Cola will pay for the advertising, which will be deposited/invested into a furlough fund. The can costume must be worn at all times in public throughout the footprint of the trips. If you think you'll get off easy because you fly naps/stand ups...well...not so fast. Nappers must walk the streets of the overnight (no hotel or Internet porn for you, champ) and preach the dangers of drinking Pepsi to prostitutes and drug dealers. And you have to mean it.
