When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.
