Name: Selena Couture on May 16, 2007Comments: Sammy J Peppers should definitely change their dress code. They are endangering the health and safety of their employees, their public relations and opening themselves up to Worker's Compensation Board Investigations.Flag

Name: Laurie Baird on May 17, 2007Comments: I will be boycotting your establishment at Cap. Mall until I hear you have revoked this sexist, dangerous policy. I, as a physical therapist , encourage my patients to refrain from wearing this type of damaging footwear except for short term, special occassions. Does your male staff have to wear heelsFlag

Name: Sarah Gallagher on May 17, 2007Comments: Restaurant owners need to realize that what customers want are professional people serving them, not ornaments. Efficient and friendly wins over slutty. You are bowing to the lowest common denomenator when you assume that your business will improve by perpetuating the attitude that over-sexualized servers are what fills seats. I believe that having happy employees goes farther than most employers realize, and applaud Sammy J Peppers' employees for taking a stand.Flag

Name: Kelly Bohlken on May 17, 2007Comments: Forcing your female employees to "dress-up" isn't going to make your establishment any classier. Hire employees who will do a good job, are pleasant to your customers and heve strong work ethics and trust me your customers will notice and come back. Customers also notice employees who are miserable and grouchy and trust me forcing women to wear uncomfortable shoes is the surest way to breed unhappiness.Flag

Name: Sandy Keane on May 17, 2007Comments: Forcing workers who are on their feet all day (or anyone else, for that matter) to wear high heels at work is cruel and sadistic. Perhaps the Sammy J powers that be should spend a few days waiting tables while wearing these torture devices before even suggesting such a thing. I object to anyone anywhere coercing anyone, for any reason, to wear high heels.Flag

Name: Leanne Sjodin on May 17, 2007Comments: i am appalled that in this day and age your establishment is seemingly unaware that enforcing female waitresses to wear footwear that is potentially damaging to health and posture is a form of exploitation. I will not be patronizing your establishment as long as this action is in place, and I will pass on this information to as many people as I can possibly manage. As a high school english teacher, I will raise it as a topic of question in my school and encourage others to voice their opinions.Flag

Name: Sidney Goodwill on May 17, 2007Comments: I feel that it is more important for the waitresses to be comfortable than stylish. High heels are fine to go out in but when one has to be standing all day they are most inappropriate.Flag

Name: Louise Newman on May 17, 2007Comments: There is no need in the performance of the job of waitress for young women to wear high heels. I have to wear orthotics to correct foot, knee and back complaints due to improper footwear when I was in my twenties. I have been a customer of your's but will choose other restaurants if you choose to enforce this unfair and unhealthy work policy. I like your restaurant because the staff are engaging and helpful, which is far more important to me as a customer than heels.Flag

Name: Julie Hunter on May 17, 2007Comments: I was at the Keg the other night and noticed that all of their waitresses wear flat shoes. They looked very practical and stylish enough. I won't eat at a restaurant that forces it's staff to do anything unhealthy or that I consider to be an unreasonable infringement on a worker's rights. I will be waiting for confirmation that your workers will not be subjected to the unreasonable demand that they wear healed shoes. (Are your male hosts, bartenders, cooks bussers and cleaning staff also wearing healed shoes) Welcome to the 20th and 21st century! Get real and get customers! Sincerely Julie HunterFlag

Name: Anonymous on May 18, 2007Comments: As a former waitress, I find this new 'rule' to be totally ridiculous. Waitressing is a physically demanding, emotionally challenging and stressful job. No one should be subjected to further pain by forcing their bodies into unnatural postioning, which is exactly what happens when wearing high heels. Sexy shoes belong in the bedroom, the dance floor or in your closet, not at work!!Flag

Name: Jennifer Purdon on May 18, 2007Comments: I spent many years wairtressing and it is ABSURD to expect anyone to wear high heels while doing this type of work. If mgmt. feel really strongly about it, they should wear high heels at work for a week and then reflect to see if a) there were more customers on the premises. b) they earned more money. c) they were hit on by customers more often. BTW - I will never frequent Sammy J peppers again and I will be sure to bad mouth them wherever I go.Flag

Name: Jaime Mccauley on May 19, 2007Comments: i wore high heels at a job for four years which caused the tendons in my feet to shrink and calcify. this is a permanent condition called planter fascitis and it is painful. now i'm forced to wear flat shoes whether i want to not. further, only certain kinds of flat shoes exist that do not aggravate this condition and they are usually very expensive.Flag

Name: Justis Willing on May 19, 2007Comments: I'm a dishwasher / cold side cook who works with these servers at a sammys location, I am mad to see this on line petition. I sit with them when they drink their wine and do their cash at the end of the shift. 60 to 150 tax free a shift on top of a wage. They drink it away each night, us cooks cant even keep up unless we spend out rent. Spoiled! So it pissed me off and looked into this.. They really are mad that they have to buy new shoes, because cloth and no sole flats are not allowed, and that they have to pay for milkshakes.. I Had to speak out, not because I love the peppers, who cares its just a job, but because these girls drive me nuts. What job pays cash on cash. So I had someone print the standard for me so I could share it with everyone. this is word for word what the standard says.. ( I read the word "bit" of heal and "non slip" when it comes to shoes.) oh petition makers you didnt mention that sammys offered to pay for 1/2 when they order non slip shoes.

Name: Anonymous on May 20, 2007Comments: I support the servers in wearing decent shoewear of their choice. Serving in high heels will only diminish the server's ability to work effectively and efficiently, as well as increasing the likelihood of injury. I hope the owners and managers come to their senses and realize how ridiculous it is to enforce their workers to wear high heels at work! I will boycott Sammy J Peppers until I am reassured that the workers can wear decent, comfortable shoes of choice while serving at the restaurant.Flag
