Kilted @ Walmart on St. Andrews Day
This thread has a different spin on the usual kilted @ Walmart here. As I work at Walmart. My day started at my day job where I work as a manager of a gated community of active adults. My attire was a little nattier than my part time job at Walmart would be. My belt buckle shows St. Andrew on the X cross.
I took a extended lunch at the British Pub and toasted on patron Saint.

Job one down, I go home to walk Fiona and dress to the Walmart uniform policy. Dark navy shirt and kaki kilt. No, it doesn’t include kilt states kaki p@nts for men and women. Kaki skirts are allowed for women. I switched out my sgian dubh for a box cutter, Thorfin for SWK nylon cargo sporran. wing tips for casual walkers and off came the bowtie. No management has questioned my kaki kilt. In fact some of said it meets the uniform requirements.
Pictured here in my department, Sporting Goods.

When I arrived to clock in as I entered the back room one of the associates held the door for me as said in his best Scottish brogue, 'Aye, mate, Scotland the Brave!' After clocking in heading to my department, Assistant Manager Mark who was talking to two associates, saw me and said, 'Real men wear kilts!'
I had made up handouts that told about Scotland’s Patron Saint. So, when someone asked about why the kilt today, I gave them one. I gave them all away! I received many compliments for fellow workers and customers. A few stares and open mouths but more smiles and nods. Made two referrals to our local Scottish Society who didn’t know we had one and a number of interesting conversations with customers and employees who shared their Scottish roots. A good day, all and all!
