In the car biz, if you sell 30+ car a month you can show up in your boxers if you feel like it. 
God help you the first month you fall off track, though.
Seriously, though- no, not on the sales end, although we don't do coats and ties either. Presentable slacks/openshirt/comfy shoes are the dress code around here.

Not really. I do maintenance (mostly painting) at a very expensive assisted living facility. My "uniform" is khakis and a blue polo shirt. I'd rather jeans and a t-shirt, but I do feel that it makes me look more professional, which reflects positively on the facility.
If all the khakis are dirty and I wear jeans once in a while, no one says anything, though. If it got to be a regular habit, I suppose they might.

Nasty, ripped, greasy jeans or heavy canvas pants, and a black or gray pocket tee. In the winter, I usually wear an insulated flannel shirt/jacket too.
I service heavy equipment, so I am actually one of the better dressed people there.

Work? What's work? I thought I perpetually had to go to school...
We wear jeans every day to class. College is okay I guess.

I went, for three years, to a very strict college that had a dress code that they took seriously. Khakis (wash pants as my Mom calls them) if not full fledged slacks, a collar'd shirt (polo was OK, something you could hang a tie on was better), non-tennis or sandle type shoes and there were rules for facial hair and hair length. Made me have pretty reasonable expectations for working in an office.
That said, we do normally wear jeans on Fridays. And next week the boss will be gone so it's jeans all week!

Nobody really cares what I wear to work as long as it is some sort of pants, steel toes and a hardhat. I wear mostly jeans and either a dickies workshirt with company name printed on it or a T-shirt.

Jeans are kinda' the norm where I work, or maybe Dicky's work pants or "overhauls". Just as long as you have the hardhat, steeltoes, safetyglasses, and earplugs (in my case earplugs and earmuffs because it's over 95db). One new female employee wore a dress, one time, and they sent her straight to the house. I just wish that we could wear shorts in hot weather.

We had a discussion about this the other day. We all wear our nasty, holy T-shirts and Jeans, shorts in the summer. Usually the ugliest nastiest Tennis shoes we have to. Now the question we have is, if we didn't have a ID badge, would anyone believe we work on sensative electronics for a global company, maintaining cellular networks? We think not. Guess everyone thinks we should look like the guys on the verizon commercials.

Can wear jeans, but the only thing they say anything about is if the shorts get too short and on shirts that have sayings on them that might be offensive. Some of the women wear shorts that are well short of what the code says, but nobody that I know of has done anything more than say they really should get it under controll. I guess when the cheeks start showing they might actually be around to it.
