Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

What is it with the full on beards these days? Noticed it the other day, all these young guys with full on hillbilly beards.

To hard to shave everyday when you have to do facebook updates

It's the hipster thing! After years of 'stubble', it's now beards.

Going back to shaving after so many years of not shaving is also problematic. So the beard thing fits nicely

Really?

If truth be told I would rarely wear sandals on a plane. But I think it perfectly acceptable for others to wear them in the club and the plane.

I wear them quite often. I'd much rather be barefoot all the time but thats usually frowned upon.

And we come full circle to the obvious reality that everyone's dress sense is different and no-one's business but their own. None are right. Your shoes are no better or worse than his track pants. That's the truth. The people who get offended by what others wear are almost always the ones with the problem. Which reveals the inherent absurdity of Qantas's new dress code marketing stunt for QPubs.

Exacerly. That was my point.

Yeah - I am a barefoot person too. And I did get a snakebite (black foot for a few days) as a result of being barefoot in long grass.

Unfortunate timing blackcat20 :shock:

Except. I don't like seeing track suit pants. None of my family would wear in public but only on way to exercise etc. But I might wear open sandals. My feet aren't manky. Perfectly 'legal'. I think track suit pants can be manky. See the problem here? Argument not over by any stretch. And I don't think you get it.

I see what you did there! And I don't get it either.

Im no bearded lady

Just as your tracky dackies arent manky to you.

There is only one way to settle this..... A lick off!

A random aff'er has to choose between licking your feet, or my tracksuit pants. I know which one I would pick!

Every now and then, someone comes along and says something really wierd. I think I will nominate this for wierd post of the week.

Nothing wrong with beards.
Unless doing a clinical exam.

 

[Freq Flier 2013]

Perhaps I'm in the minority but there is no way in hell I would ever turn up to a public place, let alone an airline lounge, wearing track pants, gym wear, thongs or the like.
Do people not take any pride in their appearance any more? Clearly not if the examples I've seen are anything to go by.
I for one am happy to see them actually enforcing the rules that were actually always there.

But remember that flying is now like taking a bus. A mass user product. No longer exclusive as it used to be, so you will get all sort of people from all walks of life. Even in the lounges.

Has anyone noticed the following:

Sandals + Socks = Beard

usually followed by = a POM

You can have an identical shoe save for the toe divider, and one is allowed, but the other not?

No back strap is allowed on open toed footwear as long as no toe separator??

This strengthens my suspicions that the whole thing may have been a marketing ploy by QF to increase membership sales.

Clearest example of 'Corporate Lunacy' I have ever seen! No doubt some clown here will sooner or later make some reference to an 'Irish joke'!
