Default Really bad marketing idea

This is my daughter, who works for a local cellular company. Not only does she have to wear this 'uniform' at their office, but she's also required to wear it while making outside sales calls to hand out their swag.
What are they thinking

Did anyone tell that marketing genius what the "other" meaning of that phrase is?

Thanks Tommy...she's a sweetheart and is usually all smiles
Her company unlocks or flashes the phone of a customer that's currently with another cellular co. That way they can switch their service, but keep their exhisting phone.
A brief letter to the mgr solved the problem.

Time to go see a lawyer that specializes in sexual harassment and abusive work environment law. Her employer is forcing her to wear that shirt that they know will result in rude and degrading treatment. What the hell were they thinking??? All kidding aside, this is a sexual harassment lawyer's fantasy case.

(Sorry, it's the lawyer in me...plus I have a daughter and I would be having a field day with this issue!)
