    I have not confused it. I have always said sloppy. When and where did I say drivers should all wear a uniform? I said they should be professional and look professional. I don’t know why that’s such a divisive comment.

    Look I don’t know any of you. But if that comment offends you then maybe you’re part of the problem.

    I highly doubt anyone here was "offended". May not agree, but certainly not offended.

    That’s good, because that wasn’t the intent.

    I have a theory about those dudes with the tank tops, gym shorts and sandals.
    They spent all their money on that big gold chain around their neck and didn't have any money left for decent clothes....lol
    Seriously, it's all about having your own personal style. You have to wear it well.

    I’m just tired of smelling some dudes armpits when I’m in the fuel line. Nobody wears that well. And by the time others can smell you, you have been smelling yourself for days. This industry has been over run with slobs who have given up on life. It’s pitiful and it doesn’t make me proud to call them my co workers.
