Honestly, the fact they even asked is pretty bad, voluntary or not.

I mean, whatever, dress up days when I used to work retail were a bit of fun that broke up the monotony for the lifers. I hated it then as well but at least it was optional.

Having an employee dress up day/event and then making staff pay for it if they opt in is gross and dumb.

You got into a marketing arrangement with Disney, that both of you profit from, you fucking pay for it. Greedy mfers honestly expect staff to fund their cross promotion with a $155bn company.

Yeah, the fact that it was specifically Disney characters I felt was particularly on the nose.

Protip: if you are going to send a company wide announcement, imagine what the 2-sentance summary on a news website might say, and reassess if you still think it's a good idea

Has anyone swallowed the bait and dressed uo?

I don't shop at Countdown, so I can't say firsthand.
