This is why heels should not be mandatory.

Make up artist Nicola Gavins put this horrifying image of her friends feet to show the disparity in restaurant uniform requirements at a local Canadian restaurant chain.

Gavins' friend, who chose to remain unnamed in order to maintain her position as a server, said that her shift manager berated her for switching into flats mid-shift, and that she was expected to be wearing heels on her shift the next day. Additionally, women working at the restaurant are required to pay $30 for their uniforms, unlike the men who can just wear black clothing from home.

Gavins also claimed that the restaurant, Joey (yes, that is the name of the establishment), has unpaid training shifts which are illegal under Alberta Labor Laws.
