St. Louis, MO. The Bird & Bucket Marketing Agency has a problem. Last year it was reported that 12% of their 246 agency staff wore socks to work with Birkenstock Sandals. "Listen. What employees do on their own time is their own business," says Arthur Finkledirt, owner and CEO, "I don't mind that they have decided to wear socks to work. But with Birks? We'll never look cool to our clients with a bunch of dorks walking around with 'Birk-n-socks'! Have some respect for yourself, people. Jesus didn't wear socks with his Birks. Neither should you." Although the Biblical accuracy of his statement could not be verified, we agree with all the other concerns. No other agency staff was available for comment.
