Of course my experience doesn’t mean it never happened, it just wasn’t overall what you described.

1987 here, I think. Started at c$3.65 , but minimums moved to $3.80 the next week and so did I.
Red poly tie, red striped button-down poly shirt, black heavy cotton-poly pants. The company supplied them, but I had to replace any pieces I wrecked.
People bitched about the button shirt vs a sloppy pullover jersey, but it was easier to clean. Ultimately I saw a preference for the dumb button-downs.

We were still in brown and yellow and there was no cotton. That uniform was hot and scratchy and reeked of fry oil no matter how often you washed it. The women’s uniform was similar to worthpoint.com/…/tb221c-1983-mcdonalds-uniforms-4…. They’re calling it burgundy but it was brown. Pure 70s brown. Yuk.
