Starbucks put new limits starting Monday on what its baristas can wear under their green aprons. The dress code requires employees at company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada to wear a solid black shirt and khaki, black or blue denim bottoms.

Under the previous dress code, baristas could wear a broader range of dark colors and patterned shirts. Starbucks said the new rules would make its green aprons stand out and create a sense of familiarity for customers as it tries to establish a warmer, more welcoming feeling in its stores.

This is what they strike over?

Yeah, my thought too. There are enough things wrong with that company - this one policy change doesn't seem that bad to me. I mean, I'd certainly prefer more leeway than less, but there are a million other chains with more restrictive dress codes. For many, it's a single specific color pants and a uniform shirt. The updated dress code isn't horrific.
