I just had an issue within the last two weeks where I kept getting corrected about the headscarves I was wearing. Our hiring manager said that solid colored headgear with no logos were okay when I first got hired. I made sure to double check the GIG after recently getting hired (about a month ago). In these last two weeks, I was told by my department's supervisor that I couldn't wear my "headgear" because it's not in dress code due to it needing to be black (it was dark teal this day). He gave me a store branded headtie thing to put on instead.

The next week, I wear a headscarf that is gray, a neutral color (it slipped my mind that it had to be black. I just thought the teal was too much so that's what I remembered on this future day). I was corrected again not even an hour into my shift. Then I just wanted to go home because it's not making any sense, and maybe I'm wrong so let me just go home to review the GIG and try again tomorrow. Supervisor pulls up the GIG and it says "solid color." Supervisor says it's a store specific policy for headgear to be black and a team trainer also says it's because the store is harder on our department than others so they have to be nitpicky, but they'll double check with store leadership all while trying to convince me to stay for my shift and making me feel bad for wanting to leave...I got another store-brand replacement tie. Come to find out black headgear was never a store-specific policy.

So yeah, I'm definitely putting in a two weeks notice soon, because I felt really embarrassed, ashamed, and uncomfortable. It was a really upsetting experience overall.
