I think sometimes females attract the wrong people, and wrong kind of attention and possibly a ever feared sexual attack, by dressing in ways like such

Yes I agree dressing as such might be in bad taste but please don’t blame sexual attacks on what people are wearing. Sexual attacks such as rape is all about power and control not about what someone is wearing.

Note: sorry for taking the topic off course but I had to address this

Thank you for your input. Is very true.....i do think a certain attire attracts wrong impressions.
Thanks again Keesha.
 
This is a great topic.

I'm thinking back to the days when milk delivery was big, and how the drivers wore all white. IMO it looked professional, clean, presentable, and instantly distinguished the milk truck drivers from regular average joes or passersby.

Same with diaper services back in the day, proper uniforms and dress was part-and-parcel to the job.

Also giving thought to industrial warehouse employees, they always seem to be wearing a company or business shirt with the business or company logo embroidered on the front (left or right chest area).

I like it, it's proper to me.

Face it, we are now a nation of slobs when it comes to dressing. A few years back the teens had their pants down to their knees showing their underwear. Going to malls now is like walking in to someone's kitchen at 6AM, no make up, no combed hair, dirty slippers and old smelly robes.
Ever see those pics of "Walmart's Worst Dressed on YouTube?" We used to go to ball games looking like we just got off work. Now it is shorts, t-shirts often too small and grubby shoes and 20 year old ball caps.

She battled covid cooties and traffic to bring you your food. This is supposed to be a deadly pandemic right? Was she accurate with your list? If so, I wouldn't complain about her attire unless you want to buy your groceries yourself. This is just my opinion cause sometimes you need to see clearly where you are and what's going on and get your priorities straight.

I have my priorities straight ..... I was just commenting on what used to be acceptable , and what seems to be acceptable now ......... and my opinion on it.
 
Respectability was noted. That is part of my quandary , I mean when every crack, crevice & protrusion is on display isn't that person displaying a lack of personal respect ? Does her mother know she dresses like that ?

Doesn't the lack of respect extend to company she represents ?

Maybe she learned to dress that way from her mother, who may have a similar night-time job.

I have disliked women's fashion for the last 20 years or so. Like the OP said, some of these women's clothes are skin tight and show every fat roll, muffin top and cellulite. Gross. It amazes me that these women aren't embarrassed to wear this stuff. Maybe it's a good thing people are more accepting of their bodies than they used to be though.

I would prefer someone with an appropriate sense of dress.
 
It would bother me.

Then I would spend way too much time trying to decide if it was me, the delivery person, or the company that needs to update our thinking as to what is appropriate.

You should have had a conversation with her and asked her the questions you are asking now.
 
A while back I worked in a School system....Maybe 10 years ago....We started seeing kids come into school with PJ's on....Even slippers....
The Principal at the time didn't bother to do anything about it....When finally the Superintendent came to the school and realized many,
mostly girls were wearing PJ's to school....It started a war when the Principal had to send letters to the girls parents....Some were OK but
some parents were adamant about their girls are wearing clothes, pajamas are clothes and should be able to wear the PJ's....It took a while
for the parents to get together and talk to the Principal....As of now, I don't think they wear Pajamas anymore....
It was strange.....

Delivering groceries doesn't pay much; maybe that was all she had to wear. If your order was on time and accurate, who the hell cares?

Maybe, and an excellent point.

Do wonder whatever happened to the days when most employers provided their employees with outfits, pants, etc, or an allowance that ensured a new hire could afford to outfit themselves accordingly with the appropriate attire for the job/workplace.

I'm thinking back to the Dairy Queen days back in the 70's, when the girls serving cones and ice cream treats all wore DQ smocks, and that's only one example.

I just see an overall disconnect these days, where telling employees apart from shoppers is often next to impossible, and in my view that's not the way a business, company, or industry should be run.
