discuss Tattoos and piercings = not getting hired

[Shawn]

Some people get face tattoos and gauge piercings. Some have bones through their nose and even horns attached to their heads.

To many people, especially older folks, this is a bad look.

If an employer decides to not hire someone based on those conditions, is it discrimination or are they practicing being able to look out for their business and not upset their customers?

When have businesses needed to worry more about appeasing the employee than the customer? Without the customer, the business is nothing. The customer is 110% times more economic stimulating than the employee.

What do you all think?

In my place, people that have tattoos are considered to be too rough and irresponsible. That's why they won't regard such people in formal and corporate settings. In my country too, one can't get a job of found to have a tattoo.

Appearance matters a lot. Refusing to hire people who are covered in tattoos and piercings seems logical to me. I don't think it is discrimination, some people priortize decent appearance when it comes to employees, that way, the can protect the company's image.

Well some places are over-the-top strict, like Chick-fil-A in the US. Now, you might think I'm picking on them cause of some left-wing bias, but they really have a snooty attitude toward hiring, specially coming from people claiming to be Christian.
