Sometimes, working as a Burger Fool just isn't embarrassing enough. Sometimes, the humiliation ante must be upped-- that's where this trope comes in. Where most part-time jobs are content with just making their employees wear a polo shirt and a nametag, this one adds some sort of embarrassing accessory: A stupid hat, a stupid shirt, or a really bad colour scheme. Some places take it further, making their employees wear a whole costume full of embarrassment. But whatever the case, the outfit makes the workers stand out, and makes the character wish they were dead.

  • Sometimes, working as a Burger Fool just isn't embarrassing enough. Sometimes, the humiliation ante must be upped-- that's where this trope comes in. Where most part-time jobs are content with just making their employees wear a polo shirt and a nametag, this one adds some sort of embarrassing accessory: A stupid hat, a stupid shirt, or a really bad colour scheme. Some places take it further, making their employees wear a whole costume full of embarrassment. But whatever the case, the outfit makes the workers stand out, and makes the character wish they were dead. Often in the form of a (not) Nice Hat at a restaurant, mainly a costume elsewhere. If the job is as a Mascot at an Amusement Park or Suck E. Cheese's, this is a given. Can overlap with No OSHA Compliance if the job involves cooking and the costume limits visibility, ability to grasp objects or has a tail. Interestingly, one way to determine if your work clothes are tax-deductible is "if you'd be embarrassed to go to the bar in them". Examples of Bad Job, Worse Uniform include:
