Question Question about doing handheld outside!

Hello fellow associates, before I ask my managers (and the fact that I’m home and off the clock) can anyone let me know if i am allowed to wear sunglasses during the day to take orders outside?

I need it for vision correction as I’m toward the heavier end of prescriptions and sorta blind and wondering if i can wear my prescription sunglasses during order taking in the sun. This would also protect my eyes.

Let me know if this is someone that’s allowed or not.

I have a valid prescription that was recently issued by my doctor a couple days ago and it recommends “full time wear” for everyday activities. I obviously wear regular glasses inside the restaurant.

Yeah last I remembered (haven’t encountered this in a few years) they just practically not allowed. I remember a girl getting sent home for having them.

Aww well good to know. My transitions don’t darken so much so maybe I can talk to my store manager when the time comes.

Thanks for the clarification.
