In this conversation, two co-workers, Kara and Betty, are discussing a modification to company policy regarding the dress code.
Kara: Good morning, Betty. The coffee’s fresh. Would you like a cup?
Betty: Sure would! Hey, have you heard about the new company policy?
Kara: Yeah. We all have to wear a company uniform starting next month. I’m not sure I go for the idea.
Betty: Oh, but you haven’t seen it. It’s a smart- looking pant suit and complementary blouse, and a pair of stylish dress shoes.
Kara: Sounds interesting. Maybe it’ll be OK after all. What about the men? Has the policy been changed for them, too?
Betty: Not really. They already have to wear a suit and tie, anyway.
Kara: Yeah, that’s right. Anyway, there’s one thing I heard about the new policy that I liked right away.
Betty: Which one is that?
Kara: Casual Fridays! Then I can wear jeans and
sneakers.
Betty: Ha! I knew you were a non-conformist at heart!
