"In an effort to enable Team Members to continue working their scheduled shifts, we always offer them the opportunity to comply with dress code, including providing new face masks when necessary," the spokesperson continued. "If they choose not to accept the alternatives, they cannot work until they are in compliance with our company policy.
"If you went into any Whole Foods store you would see a ton of employees wearing things that are out of dress code," she continued. "Every day that is happening at our store and no one says anything."She said Whole Foods management told her that if she continued to wear the shirt, she would get an infraction. Whole Foods employees risk termination if they accrue three infractions and a final warning, she said.
