I work retail in a place which was a pretty chill. But lately management has been making minute changes, tiny ones to solidify their management dynamic. We used to wear any hats we wanted (provided they were tasteful and didnt have a competing brand but everything else was fair) but now we can't wear any headware. We used to wear personal pins, and yes some of us were a little political in our pin choices, but mostly it was happy fun nerd nonsense. But the pins had to go. Then visible stickers on things. So basically you come to work in only company designated attire now. They are also making changes to how we can personalize our breakroom which is a long tradition in the company.
