Starbucks Workers Sue Over New Dress Code and Lack of Reimbursement

Starbucks employees in three states are suing Starbucks.

They claim the company made them buy new clothes for work, like black shirts, due to a new dress code, but didn't pay them back.

Employees say this breaks the law because employers usually have to cover work-related costs.

Some employees miss the old dress code, which allowed more personal style.

Starbucks says the change provides clearer guidance for employees and a more consistent look for customers.

The lawsuits seek compensation for all affected workers in those states.
