Restaurant lays off waitress who shaved head for cancer charity
Heal Emru sez, "An Owen Sound, Ontario waitress at Nathaniel's restaurant was laid off for the summer after she shaved her hair for a cancer fundraiser. I wonder if they would also turn away paying customers who were bald, especially if it was from chemo?"Stacey Fearnall raised more than $2,700 for charity, but when she showed up for work and refused to sport a wig for her shift, her boss told her to take the summer off.Link (Thanks, Heal Emru!)Her employer, Dan Hilliard, says his restaurant has certain standards prohibiting men from wearing earrings and requiring employees to keep their hair at a reasonable length...
He says he's already heard from some customers who agree with him and say they would have been "appalled" to have been served at Fearnall's table.
