Should this be legal?

Starbucks To Allow Tattoos Facial Piercings Wise Or Risky Customer Service HR Move - Forbes

Basically employers are sending the message that you should judge others based on what they look like. I think this should be illegal. We need a more compassionate society.

What exactly should be illegal?

Starbucks is hugely overrated.

Not a coffee drinker and have never set foot in a Starbucks, but from what I gather of its' clientele, servers could be on fire and they'd still sell a lot of coffee.

I don't get the question either. The move makes sense to me. They sell shitty charred milk drinks, why not do it with a low class flair?

Whole Foods has been doing the same thing for years. Except the ones around here do allow facial tattoos.

 

[Iceweasel]

What gets me is restaurants. Nothing is more appetizing than a waiter or waitress handing you food with a snot ring dangling under their snout. I leave.

What exactly should be illegal?

Pretty much everything. Unless you can lobby for an exemption.

It's a freakin' private company. Let them do what they want. Good grief, doesn't Big Brother intrude enough already?

 

[Katzndogz]

No one is saying that there should be some sort of law prohibiting a company from hiring who they want. It's questioning the wisdom of hiring the outlandish. I venture that once Starbucks starts hiring the outlandish, it will hire no one else. There are no well dressed well groomed people at any of our local Whole Foods markets. They have to be deliberately disqualified.

I think she may be right, IT doesn't make them LOOK like jackasses.

You are entitled to your opinions.

I think plenty of people look hot with tats and facial piercings.

I used to have an issue with it, but it is now so commonplace that it really doesn't bother me. It has slowly become an accepted way of expression for many people. What bothers me much more is if I think the person bathes regularly or not.

That's a matter of perception.

 

[Katzndogz]

If they are a stocker or barrista it doesn't matter. In a professional it would call their judgment into question too much.

If how the help looks turns me off I take my business elsewhere.
