JB gives us money for uniforms. It's more than I need to buy uniforms (I take good care of my clothes; perhaps you do not), so the extra pays for my tailoring. Total cost to me? $0.00. So I call it free. You call it whatever you want.
How about you post YOUR experience, not your "friends"? I get mine done for $15 each. How much do YOU pay? Or is tailoring not needed in your case?
My tailoring is about $35/shirt and $50/pair pants. It would be much less if the items I took to the tailor were of higher quality.
By your logic, all your meals are FREE because you get a per diem. No. The per diem, like your uniform allowance, are items that were negotiated for and were weighed against other compensation items, and neither are enough to cover your actual expenses.
Tailoring at JB is not free. It is not being a Negative Nancy to state the facts, however you seem to think anything that isn't a glowing endorsement of JB or anything that corrects your factually-challenged posts is negative.
