Swastika tattoo
    #5351827 - 03/01/06 12:04 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

We have a new guy at work. Like some of the other employees, he has several tattoos. Cool. I noticed one of them is a swastika...
on the top of his right hand. Very visible area, especially when doing cash transactions.

In my neck of the woods, confederate flags tend to be par for the course, but their meaining can be open to more speculation ("heritage not hate," etc.) Its a redneck cultural thing; kind of like the mentally disabled kid with an erection, you just ignore it, ignorance (on both parties) being bliss.

However, this is a free country, and people are entitled to their own (albiet often misguided) opinions.

I work in the pizza delivery business. While the respectability and prestige factor isn't that high, there should be some standards. Really, I work for one of the majors, and they're all about company image (I can't even wear this ass kickin' white belt I've got).

I work for tips. I try and look decent and presentable, and this guy with his proclamation of bigotry and ignorance is making ME look bad(and in some roundabout way costing me money ie loss of tips/customer goodwill).

Suggestions, comments? Maybe a bandage is in order for the guy? A cover up job? Simple discretion?

OR Should I just chill the fuck out?

Thanks.

Chill, as people should on most things.

Ya never know.  I'd bet it wasn't for those though.  :wink:

Kick his ass and get him fired. There is no room for inappropriate conduct in the pizza business. I personally wouldn't buy food from a place where the cashier has swastikas tattoed on him.

It probably is offending the customers.

For all you know, it may be a "mistake-tattoo". There might've been a point in his life where he was rather..niave, or just plain stupid and got caught up in some group-gang mentality and ended up getting tattooed and screwed. But even if he couldn't afford to have it removed, you'd think he could at least do a cover-up if he actually regretted it.

I used to know a guy who had a massive swastika on his back, as well as several other swastikas around his body [none explicitly visible]. He was a tattoo artist, and looked intriguingly similar to Edward Norton in American History X. He ended up getting the swazi on his back partially covered up, so he could enlist in the military - only to decide that the military wasn't for him. Now he's a store manager, and has obviously wisened up a bit.

Just wait until a customer like me walks in and knocks him out. If it doesnt happen, than I dont think its an issue. See ive always felt that free speech is perfectly fine, but you have to be prepared for a guy to knock you out.

If he wasn't still with it he would have gotten that shit changed up to something else

Everyplace like that I remember working for had a no visible tatoo policy usually.

When I worked at Domino's no earings, jewelry or anything allowed.  They even thought they controlled under shirt color and sock color.  Talk about Nazis :smile:

Just wait until a 300LB nig asks him about that thing on his hand.  That'll be the day.

Ask him if he is a Buddhist, if he says no press his hand to the oven :blush:

Umm on a serious note: you clearly take offense, and you don't have to be a minority to take offense at a swastika.
I'd say complain to the manager that it's rude and makes the place look bad, because it is. Recommendations by friends are oimportant to small businesses and you can bet many good customers would DISrecommend such a place to their friends.
It might attract bigot yahoos, the nightmare of most managers.

It brings the whole place down in the eyes of many people, and you work there to. Complain.

The ancient cultures honor the symbol for thousands of years, so it's hjitler who inverted it, not them :wink:
