Wireless Retail Uniforms
Long ago Verizon used to use Lands' End for their Retail store clothing. Seems much more casual now days with jeans and limited color shirts. Does anyone know if you can dress how you want or what company provides their uniforms now?

None of that preselected cr-p, just anything goes.
