Walmart will replace its employee’s trademark smocks with navy shirts and khaki pants.

“My neighbor is a department manager at Wal-Mart. Apparently the company has hired some bigwig that used to work at Target, and in January they are ditching the smocks – all employees (including salaried managers) will be wearing navy shirts and khaki pants.”

The only question remaining: who gets to wear the totenkopf polos? — BEN POPKEN
