Drinking the kool aid helps out with getting higher compensation.

I can kinda agree to some extent. A fellow coworker is an amazing engineer but prior to the company having an actual dress code, he just wore T-shirts and basketball shorts in the office. At the time he never met with clients and what he wore did not affect his capability as an engineer.

And then I have another engineer coworker who use to wear undersized tank tops and slippers on casual Friday. When he lifted his arms it was impossible to not notice his exposed hairy belly. So there is a line to be drawn somewhere to maintain that "professionalism".

Some clients probably do need a stern talk with in regards to our policies but at the same time, we may not want to piss them off and lose them as a client. There's a balance to be had. I think our boss have cut ties with some well paying clients just because they were too much of a hassle.

I can't possibly answer phones and send emails unless I'm wearing hard, flat-soled shoes and a necktie!

Yeah, "professional" attire is impractical to say the least.

I would say it depends on the work environment and interaction with clients. In our engineering office where interactions are 99% of the time via phone calls or emails, casual wear should be sufficient. Within reason of course.

At a place like a market, retail store, etc. where there needs to be a way to distinguish between employees and clients, at the very least some sort of uniform, casual or not, oughta be used.
