Your last point made me laugh. I worked in a call center with a dress code, including forbidding certain types of footwear (no open toes or heals. Safety around the office chairs, after all). It always struck me as ridiculous, since not only could customers not see us, but for security reasons, we couldn't give out our location (inbound collections for a phone company). They tried to say it made us act more professional, and I always viewed it as another method of control. The rest of your points is my basic attitude as well.
