Tattoos and piercings shouldn’t jeopardize your chance of getting a job.
unless you know how capitalism works.
CALM DOWN I’M NOT BEING A SARCASTIC ASSHOLE BUT ALL YOU FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION NUTS NEED TO SIT THE HELL DOWN AND LISTEN FOR A SECOND.
when you think of Hooters, do you think of male waiters?
when you go to Spencer’s, do you expect a right-wing, 60 year old man in a suit to ask you what it is you look for in a vibrator?
companies do and are entitled to hire an individual based on his/her lifestyle choices.
things that are not lifestyle CHOICES: being black (or any ethnicity other than white), being gay (or trans or bi, etc), and being blind or deaf or having any other sort of physical disability.
piercings and tattoos are choices YOU make as an expressive and creative (or drunk) individual. they are your right to have.
but all companies have their own codes of conduct and ethics and standards of appearance.
If you don’t like a religion: don’t participate in it.
Don’t like a political party: don’t be a part of it.
Don’t like a business’s standards: apply somewhere else.
do NOT expect the world to change for you based on lifestyle choices you make. Business is all about appearances. That is not an idea. It is a fact.
Buildings. Products. Logos. Representatives. Employees are the latter. So cover your tats and mods or find a job that works for your lifestyle.
You are not a special interest group. You do not qualify for equal opportunity and cannot cry out “discrimination” because of your own choices.
Live with them and stop whining.
As anti-ideological as the system is: capitalism works.
