When it comes to all-season outdoor sales, it is better to look at models made of windproof or water-repellent materials.

Especially popular in grocery departments are aprons-robes. As a rule, these are bright models with a back that cover the outerwear on all sides. So the seller is protected from any surprise or from the awkward actions of colleagues.

Regardless of the model, aprons are supplied with additional elements. For example, these are deep pockets and a wide belt that is convenient to tie at the back or side. The length of the product largely depends on the status of the institution and the duties performed.

If an employee has to chop meat or transport fish, his clothes should be covered by an apron with a back, up to mid-thigh... The same uniform will work for bakery employees who need to carry baked goods. If the seller's tasks include only work at the checkout and communicating with visitors, you can choose a more beautiful option.

Colour workwear completely depends on the chosen style.

The most durable aprons are products made of nylon fibers... They are practical, wear-resistant, do not fade when washed. Easy to clean and odorless. Similar properties are possessed by aprons made of natural and synthetic fibers.

Cotton fabrics durable. They look aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to the touch. However, their loose texture easily absorbs any dirt. It is not easy to wash such an apron, and strong bleaches can completely ruin the thing.

Products from jeans... It is durable and practical, suitable for almost all types of work. And such an apron looks stylish. If the company employs young people, you should pay attention to denim models.

The apron for the seller must comply with the sanitary standards and the style of the institution. And the employee must freely perform the assigned manipulations at the checkout or in the grocery department. In accordance with this, it is worth highlighting the following criteria for choosing an apron.

1. Color combination. The seller's uniform should be an organic addition to the interior, and not turn into an eyesore for visitors.
2. Features of a cut. A long apron is suitable for a butcher's, fish department or bakery, a short one for shops with packaged food.
3. The comfort of the model. You should pay attention to whether there are cuts in the side or in the middle, which do not interfere with the movement of the seller behind the counter. It is worth taking a closer look at disposable aprons. As a rule, these are the cheapest models made of artificial materials. Such an apron can be thrown away immediately after use, without even thinking about leaving.
4. Protective covering... The fabric from which the apron was sewn must be covered with a protective coating. This product protects the product from dirt and water, so the apron stays clean and tidy for a long time.And the service staff will feel confident serving visitors.
5. Sewing quality. On a high-quality apron, the seams are stitched evenly and neatly, and the fittings are securely sewn. The pockets and tape are well secured.

Any incident can happen behind the counter, for example, juice or oil is spilled, fat is dripping. This is a working moment, but standing in front of guests in dirty uniforms is at least unpleasant. Therefore, it is better if 2-3 pieces of spare products are stored in the back room. Even if the seller makes some mistake, he can change his clothes and go out to the visitors, pretending that nothing happened.
