restaurants have laundry service for kitchen pants, jackets, aprons, right along with all the towels, napkins, and tablecloths. They aren't the employees own clothes they got from walmart, they are provided by the laundry service like the towels.

Now I'm wondering where you live because this is definitely not a thing in the overwhelming majority of restaurants in the continental US.

A few different places in different cities in NY, Albany to Saratoga. Years ago though. Mostly just for the cooks not every dishwasher or waiter.

I have worked at sit down dining and fast food, and neither places did my laundry for me. Aprons, sure, but not the rest of the clothes. The clothes which I had to buy in the first place.

Every place I've worked that had a uniform for the waitstaff and bussers had laundry service for the uniform.

Probably helped it was a hotel ...

Lucky! Chilis had me washing my own aprons.
