Hello, I worked in the "hell hole" we refer to as McDonald's for 4 years and 9 months of my life. Why? I don't know, but I found my fiance there the last year I was there. To get back to the subject. I don't think that employees should take looks like this in excess, but I was clearly discriminated against during my time there. When I began to work there back in 1990 I was told that I wiuld need to get my hair cut because I was a male. Two problems with this policy. First why are females permitted to grow there hair and men are not, sexual discmination. Second, there was a manager who had been at that store since it was opened. He was allowed to keep his long hair because the change in policy had come during this time. The second thing that aggratvated me in relationship to this subject, was that I was also unable to have an ear ring of any kind.
Now I don't smoke, don't do drugs and don't drink in excess, basically I am a clean guy. All I wanted was an ear ring. With my first one, I was told that I had to wear a stupid band-aid over my ear until I could take the syud out. I then got another one a couple years later. This one had to be taken out before every shift. When one continously takes out and puts in an ear ring stud, one runs the risk of infection. The girls at the store were permitted to wera as many as they wanted to, sometimes as many as ten. That is all, bye.
