When I received a similar email, while I did think that it was a little overboard, did not think that asking the people they hire be dressed appropriately out of line. I have actually seen notaries show up in a tank top and shorts at a title company expecting to be put on their list. There are even notaries on this and other sites that have pictures of themselves in t-shirts. Unbelievable. I occasionally get called by a local title company to fill in and I do wear a shirt and tie. That was the main reason I continue to get called from them .. not any special skills I have. When I am in the field, then it is a collared golf shirt and dress slacks. When notaries are on the job, business casual should be the minimum requirement. I have been given the excuse that they can't afford it, but their designer tank top and designer shorts and thongs were more expensive than a generic business casual outfit at one of the big box stores. That first impression can be a real killer. Ask any person who works in the HR department of any company ......
