Quit my job.
    #7905317 - 01/20/08 10:45 AM (16 years, 12 days ago)

Yep. I work fine dining at this really stuffy restaurant in Birmingham. Well, they have been bugging me to cut my hair for some reason. The thing is, I keep my hair back in a tight ball on the back of my head and it's always clean. I'm kinda freaky about keeping my hair clean.

Anyway, the owner's whore wife started riding my ass about it, so I told her that I wasn't going to cut my hair and if it meant that much to her then I would go and work somewhere else. She seemed shocked that someone would dare defy her. i found it humorous, but I was still annoyed, so I spread dissent amoung the ranks of servers. They all were willing to sign a petition to keep me and my hair the way they were. I wasn't expecting to keep the job. I just wanted to make a statement, you know?

They also already have a server with long hair. When I asked them about why they discriminate against me when there is already someone with hair past his shoulders and they said that he was "grandfathered in". I asked them what that even meant and they said he was there before they changed the rules about long hair. What bullshit!

I already had a couple of jobs lined up in case this should happen and it's a good thing I did. I just waited until I knew they were straight and had enough people to handle the rest of the night then clocked out and left my cash in the office and silently left. It caused quite a stir from what I've heard. Whatever. They suck. Great food and service, but too goddamned stuffy!

i just quit my job two weeks ago because they wanted me to cut my hair.

apparently theres no grandfather rule at the hotel i did valet at - i had worked there with the same haircut for almost 3 years, new manager came in and said 'get that shit off the ears by next saturday'

i said "guess i won't be coming in next saturday", hahaha

It just sucks, because this place would have been a great reference! I mean, i could get work anywhere in the service industry with this job reference. I just don't bend like that, though. I have lived my whole life bending to others' wills for one reason, or another and I'm through with it. Fuck 'em if they don't like it. I know and they know that I am a good worker that is always on time. Just because they think that I should "rise" to their standards I should? I don't think so.

had you wanted to continue to work there - then yes, you should have risen to their standards.

but you don't, so you didn't.

i commend you on your standards.
BUT you should have let them fire you. I think it is not legal to fire a person for their looks.

If your hair was not a health violation, and another server had hair as long as you - you had a case (IMHO)

but - now you are free.

good luck.

Well done.

they hired him with long hair which meant he was already to their standards, the
other long hair indicates the standard hasn't in fact changed but that the owners
whore wife discovered her husband was fucking the hostess

Good for you!  I'm proud of you.

I had a job in a mediocre restaurant a few years ago and they wanted me to take my eyebrow ring out.  For about 3 weeks, I just took it out while I was at work, and then I would put it back in.  My eyebrow started to get irratated so I finally said 'FUCK IT' and took it out and left it out.

I ended up getting pissy and leaving one day and I never went back and I never put my eyebrow ring back in.  (I keep it in my ear now)

So I am proud of you for standing up for yourself and making a statement. :heart:

You're very close there. However, the owner's whore wife USED to be the hostess and she started sucking his wang and his then wife with kids found out and divorced him. So, he married the gold digger and now she thinks that she has class.:lol: I really can't stand the thought of her.

Thank you, adrug. I do need to trim the split ends off, but I'm not about to cut it all off. I have thought about it, but I decided that I like it too much to do away with it.
