‘She laughed as she wrote me up': Manager sends employee home for dress code violation, they use the day off to look for a different job

If a place of work requires a dress code, they should provide with the clothes, simple as that. An employee should no go out of their way to find something to wear for a shift, and they definitely should not be reprimanded for not having the right clothes on the odd occasion. The need for uniform is truly understandable, but surely a customer would care more about getting a good service from an employee, than about the color of their shoes.

In this Reddit story, an employee had to deal with their manager's unreasonable demands about the dress code. Instead of all-black shoes, OP (original poster) showed up to work with black shoes that had a white sole (I know, how dare they). OP's manager was extremely unsatisfied with those shoes and asked OP to go back home and change them. Since OP lives 30 minutes away from work, they felt like going back would waste a lot of time, but the manager wouldn't hear of it. The dispute continued for a little more until the manager eventually told OP to just go home for the entire day.
