Some people get highly irritated over stupid draconian bullshit that has absolutely no effect on anything whatsoever (unless we're talking about safety type uniform stuff, or something like that). If you don't like it, quit making pointless rules. If you want to make rules, accept absolutely that employees may respond that way.

Its in the service food industry. Have you ever ordered from a franchise food joint? Do you want me to take your order in the buff with my junk touching your food?

From a business standpoint, the OP has to enforce it otherwise he could get fined or lose his franchise because it doesn't meet the required standards. Who knows how much those fines are?

Now if it was more like a family owned restaurant or pizza place maybe like Dr. Pizza's then I would be totally more lenient but the OP has someone to answer to.

What would you do if you got fined lets say 10 grand if you were the franchise owner because of repeated offenses to the standards by the franchise? Pay that 10 grand and any repeated fines? Well then God Bless you.

You'll notice I made an exception for safety issues in my post. Obviously with safety/health issues there's some cause for a rule like that.
