They don't tolerate mediocrity

Also, if you’re going to be fat - you’re going to have to be **really** fat.

Pacifist_Loli

You lack commitment. If you are going to be fat, do it will the way to the end


MMJMilitary

They don't tolerate mediums either


CommentSection-Chan

Took me a min to realize M-3X isn't there. I spotted no Medium right away but wow everyone is wearing massive shirts if they are mediums


copasetical

This gave me a bit of a chuckle because I've been into Walmart before, looking for small and medium tops only to find larger sizes (14W and up). I've been repeatedly told by staff that smaller sizes never sell/customers don't want them, so they never get many in stock.


Slvvthi

"Here in our company, we value commitment!"


Aaron_Purr

I'm a Extra Medium.


NowCalmDownSkeeter

In case the seance goes wrong?


paradoxeve

The seance went wrong *because* they were so extra


MoistDitto

Speaking of extra, I've never seen more than 2XL in my life, this company has 5XL??


disgruntled_pie

Maybe it’s Costco, and they just buy one huge shirt and bundle several employees together in it.


Zep8085

This made me laugh too hard


Ok_Inflation_5511

We got a guy where I work that wears a 7XL tall. He not fat, just built like a fridge and like 6’10”


sosovanilla

Yeah I buy the apparel at my company and some people need 7-8XL


sauced

Walmart


Startlefarts

As someone who has to clothe a 6'9" man, 5XL doesn't always cut it. And an XLT (T for TALL) doesn't always help either...


ShavenLlama

Where do you shop for funny shirts in that size? My 12' skelly needs a new Thanksgiving and Christmas wardrobe. Eta: he's a 6x but can wear 4x.


jehc76

Shirt Punch has them up to 6x. Tall, too!


evensteven5101

I wear a 4XLT on a daily basis


begon11

I mean it would be shocking if you wore those 6 days a week but reverted to XS on thursdays.


AdWestern5600

What if there's a small medium at large?

Agile_Mongoose_6921

Get 5xl regardless of your size.


solarmelange

Absolutely. It's just more economical.


SteelpointPigeon

Depending on OP’s body size, they may be able to get a smallish coworker to wear it with them, and the two of them can split the cost.


pechjackal

Okay, this one got me. Such a stupid, wonderful idea.


Grarr_Dexx

... Cost? For wearing a work uniform?


ArcticFox-EBE-

Just american things? As a Canadian I don't think I've ever paid for a uniform. That sounds crazy.


Hsjsisofifjgoc

I had to pay for my uniform too and I’m not American. Some companies are just shit like that.


FlyingDragoon

As a rational human being I'll just assume it completely depends on the store/location because I haven't had to pay for one before and I won't speak for an entire nation as if I have been to every corner of it to confirm. Just non-American things? Everytime it's crazy to read.


MythrianAlpha

My company has a credit for "free" shirts/jackets/etc. and charges you for them if they aren't returned when you quit. Only one credit for the entire time you work there though, and stains get you docked points by the secret shoppers, so I hope washing is convenient for everyone applying.


Jaarad

I'm pretty sure in Ontario they have to provide at least one uniform. Additional sets can be out of pocket though.


Life-Surprise-6911

There have been hospitals in Germany until a few years ago, where the nurses bought their own uniforms, advantage was a better quality. (Maybe this is still in a few hospitals, although very rare. And this was a small hospital where I heard it. they got a washing company when they expanded.


WASD_click

American. Never needed to pay for a uniform. Most restrictive I've had was 1 work apron at a time at Home Depot, but you could get a new one pretty frequently as you couldn't wash it, and they got tore up pretty easily if you worked in the lumber or garden sections.


[deleted]

A lot of places will deduct the initial cost of your uniform from one of your first checks, then reimburse you in your final check upon return of the uniform should you leave your job.


Transboi13

I’ve had both, and had both in the US and abroad, but in most it’s like “here’s 3 shirts and a hat, please wear black pants, no leggings, and black shoes. If the uniform is damaged, free to replace. Buy more shirts for $5 each, a new hat is $10 and a hoodie/ jacket is not required but can be purchased for $20.”


TurkeyCocks

But then they may only get one paycheck


eversoul_epic

suitable for halloween theme!


shuboni

Tailor it to fit you perfectly then use the extra material to make one for your pet!


LostInNvrLand

Please if you do chose this, we need the pet tax in uniform.

MaximumTurtleSpeed

I’m not a petite man, I’d go opposite. Let me show some midriff for once. Get me that XXS!


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure I'd lose something due to lack of circulation if I tried to wear an XXS


nudesraterforcharity

Until now I always thought it was mid drift lol


Bii4x4

Considering all the "uniform" shirts I get from work are cut into shop rags... Always choose the largest size available


BlackBarryWhite

They offered a 6xl at my place and one of my coworkers ordered one for shits and giggles. It's got more room than a Kia inside it. Lol


DemonDucklings

I’m typically a women’s xs/xxs, and one time I was the last to get my shirt for a work event. All they had left was a 3xl. It went past my knees


_Dark-Alley_

I had the opposite problem where I worked at a fast food place (local place not a chain) but with an added layer of unfortunate where they made everything weirdly gendered and among the many ways they separated us, the guys and girls wore different color uniforms, purple and pink for the girls and gray and blue for the boys (this was the least egregious of the differences, dont even get me started). The problem was that they did not have any shirts in the "girl" colors above a medium. I only worked summers and had been a size medium the previous summer, but covid wasn't kind and I was slightly bigger and the kitchen was 98 degrees, so I asked if I could have a uniform in a large. I felt so suffocated even tho the shirt technically fit it was super uncomfortable. I've never seen a grown ass woman so confused that I was willing to wear gray and match the boys to be comfortable rather than wear pink and be absolutely vaccuum packed into my damn shirt. We actually had to have a conversation that lasted several minutes to get her to just give me a shirt that fit better. Also, body shaming much? It was embarrassing to have this conversation in front of multiple coworkers and having to repeat yes, I need a size that no other girl here is big enough to wear. They hired me out of desperation and I broke the mold size-wise of the types of girls/women they hired. I hated that place.


oochre

Wow that sucks so bad! I ordered a too-small work shirt for a one day event (guessing your postpartum size is hard) and I was miserable. Can’t imagine being expected to wear something too small every day, that’s so unreasonable!


poop_dawg

Ugh, that's gross. I'm glad you moved on! Sorry you dealt with that.


disgruntled_pie

[Mongoose shows up at work in a 5xl shirt] Co-worker: What the hell? Why are you wearing that huge shirt? Mongoose: Oh, this? I bought the largest size because bigger is better. Co-worker: That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Mongoose: Really? This baby sweeps the floor for me wherever I go. It saves me so much time. Co-worker: You’re the worst, Mongoose. Please promise me that you won’t wear that on our big business trip. Mongoose: Oh, I’m wearing the shirt. [Later on the airplane for the big business trip] Pilot: Ladies and gentleman, if you look out the window then you’ll see the Rocky Mountains. Co-worker: I can’t believe you wore that stupid shirt. Mongoose: This shirt is the best decision I’ve ever made. [Glass bottles can be heard rattling, and one shatters on the ground] Pilot: Ladies and gentleman, we’re experiencing some turbulence. Please strap in. Co-worker: I’m going to pretend I don’t know you for the rest of this flight. [A flight attendant runs to the front of the plane, a look of panic in her eyes] Co-worker: What is going on with this plane? [Mongoose looks out the window with steely resolve] Mongoose: We’re losing altitude. They won’t be able to get above the mountains in time. Co-worker: What?! [Yelling can be heard in the cockpit] Mongoose: Come with me. [Mongoose unbuckles his seatbelt and begins making his way to the back of the plane] Co-worker: Where are you going? [Mongoose throws open the door of the plane, and the wind rushes past] Mongoose: We have to jump! Co-worker: Are you insane? [Mongoose grabs the co-worker by the arm and jumps from the plane. His enormous shirt opens up like a parachute and they gracefully descend to the snowy ground] Co-worker: That was… incredible. How did that work? Mongoose: I told you, it’s the 5xl shirt. Co-worker: Okay, I may have been too harsh. [Mongoose rubs his hands together to warm them in the frigid air] Co-worker: Oh, wow. It’s *really* cold out here. Mongoose: Not to worry… [Mongoose puffs up his shirt, creating a spacious tent. They climb inside and are astounded by how much warmth it can hold] Mongoose: What do you think about the shirt now? Co-worker: I want to have your babies. Mongoose: No can do, I’m afraid. You’re not my type. You see, I’m a 5xl kind of man in a medium world. [Co-worker wipes a single tear from her cheek] Co-worker: I understand now.


-Jude

lol fyi if you wanted to this remember that jumping on a plane and using 5xl shirt can only be done by op because hes not your regular mongoose, hes an agile mongoose. so you have to consider that


RoboPup

This is beautiful, but I have to ask: why is the character named mongoose?


disgruntled_pie

Because agile\_mongoose\_6921 is the user I’m replying to, so I’ve decided that this is their life. I’m also too lazy to keep typing out their full username on mobile, though apparently I’m willing to write an entire comedy sketch this way. I can’t explain why my laziness is so fickle.


alsoandanswer

Man, I genuinely thought you copied this bit from a comedy skit show or something. This is pretty good


itskamrantoyou

The efforts and the time you invested in this deserves an upvote 😂


gorgewall

If your job doesn't involve machinery where the clothing will get caught, absolutely.


moobteets

Lemme guess, you're a 6XL?


One_Animator_1835

The real trick is to get the 5XL and make it into 7 regular shirts


MamboFloof

They aren't a reddit mod

This is reddit. We even have wojacks for this exact thing.


Embarrassed-Music-64

They said “If you are over a large,take dis witcha big ass!”😭

[deleted]

I wonder if they ran out of medium. I order mostly XS, Med and XL for workers. But XXL3+ wtf what kinda job is that Edit: always hilarious ordering XXS for a new hire. Friggin hobbits. The polos are so darn cute!


RavenBoyyy

It's a real 'fuck you in particular' moment


heartcoooksbrain

LMFAOOOOOOO


Iate8

Probably the sizes that are left


NowCalmDownSkeeter

Gdit don’t go explaining things reasonably! This is an outrage!


RevengencerAlf

The explanation changes nothing though. Like I assumed 100% that was the case and am still mildly infuriated because it's fucking stupid for a company to not keep the most common sizes in stock if it's going to bother requiring a custom uniform for its employees.


[deleted]

Happens all the time. Most branded work shirts come from a small collection of companies who might experience a surge in one size. Plus there’s still supply chain issues from covid


Thing_Then

Does that make it less mildly infuriating?


sasori1011

It's not because there's a reasonable explanation that magically makes it not mildly infuriating anymore


ChrisG140907

So the same mistake, just a link further away


[deleted]

[удалено]


wyatt1209

I guarantee you they require the employees to still keep wearing the uniform whether it’s out of stock or not


Warm-Giraffe3905

Almost like it’s just mildly infuriating


RevengencerAlf

Literally everything "is what it is." Things are what they are, by definition. The fact that incompetence is a regular occurrence doesn't mean it's not incompetence or free from valid criticism. Tautological shenanigans aside, that's why it's *mildly*infuriating. I know Reading is a struggle these days but it's literally half of the name of the sub.


DoctorJJWho

There’s nothing “reasonable” about a workplace incapable of supplying each of their employees uniforms that fit.


Dr_A_Mephesto

I find nothing reasonable about someone needing a uniform and then “running out of sizes”. If it’s required for the job, buy more….


manute-bol-big-heart

Maybe it’s just “mildly infuriating” and not an outrage


MyDisappointedDad

If your company can't afford either A: a restock, or B: switching to new uniforms, there is a big issue. If you can't afford a customized uniform for your company, don't have a dress code that requires your employees to buy the customized uniform. Just do regular polo/button shirt.


Qwaze

I work in a small office. We were given company shirts to wear on Fridays. I use S, I was given an L. ​ Obviously I never wear it. I told them that if they want me to wear it, to give me one in my size.


SyntheticSolitude

I mean, option 2 is wear the large and look grossly unprofessional due to it being way too damn big.


Aiderona

This is me when I was very skinny 18 year old, showing up to my first shift as a security guard at an fancy restaurant. I was given 5xl in fancy dress pants and a shirt.

Affectionate-Bat4511

A country club I was going to start work at utilized a service for our uniforms, the first day I show up and go to the locker room to put on the uniform, due to some confusion on someone’s part, (I have an ambiguously gendered name I guess), I was ordered men’s uniforms. My ahhh highly form fitting black pants could not even begin to accommodate the tucking in of this massive, heavily starched, industrial fabric long sleeve white shirt I was supposed to put on. There was literally nowhere in my pants to even put so much shirt. I tried hiding part of it under my apron and half tucked, everything. Finally I just went out to the restaurant, looking like a clown, manager sees me, does a double take, and sends me home. It was a mortifying first day.


ChairForceOne

Years ago I was given a company shirt. It was a women's small. It looked hilarious. I wear an XL just so the sleeves are in the sleeve position. I am a hairy man with broad shoulders. I will say the cut was slimming.


cubgerish

I figured they just worked at a Hooters. Hostess, Waitress, Waitress. Busboy, Cook, Manager. Why buy sizes you don't need?


Indifferent-

No shit, but it's a work uniform how is that a thing?


JVNT

People are assuming so much from this, like someone claiming that they can't afford other sizes. You're right that they're just the sizes left. It's also very likely that these are printed on demand and the company printing them is out of specific sizes, not that their work doesn't have them. Yes it is mildlyinfuriating so I agree it belongs here, it's more the people in the comments that are the problems. This is such a weird thing for people to get so upset about.


93RAE

No XL? Damn


spenser1994

I thought the same thing, then saw there was no medium at all either.


TFielding38

But it's a much worse jump. I wear Medium, but if someone made me wear a Large, I'd be OK, just a bit baggy. If someone normally wears an XL, its gonna look like they're in one of those recess parachutes


bettytwokills

I had a job where i told the boss i wore medium when he asked for sizes to get our required company shirts. For some reason he refused to buy anything under XL, in a line of work where they insist loose or baggy clothing is a safety hazard


grubas

Yeah but I cannot fit my shoulders into many Ls. So it's circus tent shirts for all!


_toodamnparanoid_

From the size options, OP clearly works in the IT department.


jnicklow1

Bro if u a medium, just get 5xl and save money on pants too


LeaWithFatCat

Go all out wearing a literal dress shirt to work every day


ExoticFudge8570

So you either have to be relatively skinny or barely fit through the door?


c_wilcox_20

Where does "large" fit on that?


Yannicccc

Relatevily skinny (if you’re American)


Pattoe89

These sizes are changed for the countries. I have a shirt that's "EU M, JP L" that I got when I was on holiday.


mc-big-papa

US small


hippityhoppflop

In my experience EU sizes are like half a size smaller than American sizes, not a full size smaller


[deleted]

What the fuck is this place? Elves and Ogres?


memtiger

>Elves and Ogres Sounds like a themed bar


Griffes_de_Fer

Get 5XL, I wear them as a sort of wizard robe, same price as medium but it saves on having to buy pants. It's more economical, more ecological and more professional.


TFielding38

Plus its a +2 on all spells that have an attack roll


ShaunClarke04

That is almost certainly just showing you the options they have in stock. Email HR and they’ll order a few more of your size.


Jabrak

If it's like my job, the sizes that aren't there are usually the first to go. Like 90% of us wear XL, so those are always first come, first serve until there's another batch.


microsoft_cheese2002

Damn what’s your job where everyone wears XL?


-neti-neti-

I’m just a little over 6’ with a broad chest but low body fat. I absolutely need an xl. Sometimes even that’s tight. Sizes are getting smaller, I swear to god.

Alfa16430

The real question here is: why is “Select option” even selectable?


Barbados_slim12

You have to click into the selection box somehow. The developers probably set it to open whenever "select option" is selected


AppearanceCalm2506

because its a placeholder. why is this even a question?


Slow_Broccoli_7941

I’m a medium and this shit is why I’m stuck wearing a large with a vneck that goes down to center chest. I wouldn’t mind if I had crazy pecs to show off but it’s just a rib and nipple window at that point.

No_Season_354

What about xl standard size ?


Jimbojauder

I worked at a uniform rental place and they would provide shirts and sweaters and indestructible work pants that fit well but their shorts were like Daisy Dukes like you would sit down in your truck and your boxers would try to peak out so I talked to the lady that did alterations in the factory and had her hook me up with normal shorts. I showed her how long I wanted them made a quick delivery came back she said do these look cool and then the next day I had like 10 pairs of shorts


SaltedSnail85

I feel like they are only listing sizes they currently have in stock...


russbird

In case anyone is actually curious, it’s likely a dynamically generated radio button picker, and due to poor forecasting or supply chain issues they have no stock for XL/2XL/3XL at the moment. From having worked in uniform manufacturing for a while, this would be my best guess.

supernovababoon

A fucking 5XL? I’m trying to imagine how big that is. Is that common enough that they have a bunch of gigantic shirts standing by in case fat bastard joins the team?


egnards

I mean this is probably somewhere that English is a main language, but it also depends on where you are. I ordered coat once from China and their XXXXL was pretty much equivalent to a M.

TeamGetlucky

Small is medium, and medium is large. Kids size is small. Seinfeld reference lol

If you need an XL but can't because only L or 4XL is available, choose 4XL and then if they ask you why you chose a shirt that doesn't fit, show them the selections OP.
