    Sometimes I wonder if people will ever understand that "I don't like it" is not a valid criticism of free company branded merchandise. I don't give a shit if you don't like it Stu, you wear sweatpants to work every day.

    My work gave out these like nike polo shirts that were company branded and some people shit on people who wear them, but man alive they are a comfortable shirt. Like yeah I look like an upper class best buy employee, but man these things are soft, and I don't like have sweat issues, they are great.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    I mean it’s valid as a form of general bitching, but it’s not going to get you out of it. “It’s in my contract that I can wear sweatpants and tracksuits to work” is a valid and strong criticism.

    cryptofascist seems like either a no true scotsman or maybe even a loaded question like "when did you stop beating your wife?"

    5 of my favorite shirts were given to me by work. Another shirt (the Fortnite Loot Llama shirt) that is one of my favorites was acquired when a work event put me next to the Epic Fortnite booth:

    I will never, ever wear or use anything branded by my employer unless I am explicitly required to for my job

    And if I am explicitly required to, you bet that I am going to loudly and persistently bitch about it unless it's literally the highest quality possible for the item in question

    If you're going to make me wear a company button down, it better be a Brooks Brothers or Armoury tier.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    We got a new lady working in corporate communications (the dept that does our merch) and her taste is impeccable. Our company apparel store saw costs of everything like, triple, and it’s all really slim cut, pretty colors, high quality. Our one yearly free piece of merch is something I actually look forward to now.

    The mugs they gave out this christmas were excellent. Really handsome, simple white outside, red inside, nice finish, microwaveable without getting hot.

    She sneakily changed the logo from computer yellow to goldenrod against explicit branding guidelines, which is also something I do in all my GUI themes, so we are also kindred spirits.

    Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.

    Sometimes we get tumblers or mugs. One time, back in 2015, we had a Summer of Love-themed party, and there was a free cup for it:

    There was just one problem. The image didn't smoothly wrap around it, so you got this:

    Do you have an in house art department? Mention it to them, they're probably dying to change it.

    Or they should be fired.

    Computer yellow is never acceptable.
