If its company policy its company policy. You agree to certian things as soon as you sign a contract or are hired by a company that is outlined in the Policies and Procedures, as well as a Union Contract. Some things I didn't like but had to suck up was taking health-care (which bites me for 50 bucks a paycecK), joining the Union (which wasn't there the time I was laid off), and paying Union fees. But, as a condition of your employment - you gotta do it. So this may seem like a "STUPID" rule, but think of it like this -
Suppose someone snapped a photo of that guy in uniform. And then posted it on the internet as a gag picture or something like that. And then it spreads. And the world sees that not even Coke employees drink Coke. Bad for business. This is them protecting their interests.
