I’ve always thought this was a white-/blue-collar discriminator. Shower before work to be presentable to clients; shower after work to clean off the grime and sweat.
Not necissarily blue vs white collar. Probably more just customer facing vs not. I’m a service tech so I’m blue collar but I’m also directly interacting with customers so I need to look presentable at least at the start of the day. So I normally do a morning shower so I look presentable to customers but sometimes I wind up crawling around in unspeakable filth or working up a major sweat at work so if that’s the case then I will do an after work shower in addition to the morning shower. But I’m customer facing so the morning shower is a must.

This might be a bigger variable than anyone thinks.
When I worked in a kitchen and came home smelling of old fries, I couldn’t go to bed feeling like that.
Yuuup. When I worked BOH, shower after work. When I worked FOH, shower before work.
Even when I was FOH, I still brought the stank home.
Never really noticed any FOH stank personally, guess it depends on the restaurant.
Yeah, it probably does. The more the place relies on deep fryers, the more stank in the air.
It’s the same for white collar if you’re heavy or just an oily fella.
