Employment issues question.

[FROSTY:Me]

Not necessarily. There's this concept, its called tolerance. Suck it up.

But why? -Serious question.Why should the public have to be tolerant?They are paying person A's wages.
If they don't like it most won't "suck it up" about 5% will complain there and then ,The rest just won't come back. And worse will tell their freinds about this gang type person....

And a racist will boycott a business that employs someone ethnically different? And Edbear will forgo air travel to avoid trolly dollies?

"Sorry I can no longer employ you on the basis that 3% of our customer base are naive fogies who might believe you to be a gangster....and may be sufficiently irked by their assumption that they may not come back.....despite the fact that you more than met their expectations in a professional sense"

That is their right to do so ... if they choose ... and the racist will get away with it ... with no punishment whatsoever if they say nothing about it.
Edbear is also legally allowed to avoid anybody he chooses to avoid ...

"Sorry I can no longer employ you on the basis that 3% of our customer base are naive fogies who might believe you to be a gangster....and may be sufficiently irked by their assumption that they may not come back.....despite the fact that you more than met their expectations in a professional sense"

It ... generally speaking ... hinges on that last sentence ... with a big IF at the start.

But if that 3% customer base provides 15% of their income ... ??? does the employer not have the "right" to decide ... ???

Would you wear a suit to court?

No argument. I'm just suggesting that generally if customers get want they want generally they won't give a fuck who the messenger is

Not in the case of the two examples I provided above. They would likely face an investigation by the human rights commission.

What's your point? Having a tattoo in the workplace (which by the way may not involve serving the public) is not necessarily going to hold consequences for anyone.

Those who take offense at tattoos can choose to take offense or they can accept other people's choices and get on with their own business.

If I was that badly affected by the sight of tattoos I would consider going to live in Japan

If your two "examples" said nothing ... as to why they made their decisions ... it would be difficult to prove ... by reputation alone.

Voting with their feet is always a customers "right". Not just a choice.

The two examples I provided pertained to the employer discriminating on the basis of race and sexual orientation


As far as customers (assuming the workplace in question is even a customer focussed one), I think it is highly doubtful that customers in todays world would boycott a business purely because of a tattoo. I would suspect that the number who chose to be sufficiently outraged would be negligible.

Even more so depending on context - small shamrock on an Irish girls wrist vs swastika on the neck










....oh godwins, dead thread

[FJRider]

The topic of this thread (getting back on topic) is the one issue of a tattoo and it's employment connotations ... not race or sexual orientation.

And unless you are suggesting tattoo's are included in those connotations ... it is YOU that is disciminating ...


Shame on you ...

That you shouldn't be judged by how you look, but reality is that people do judge you by how you look.

And employers know that.

It aint brain science.

Please continue your train of argument and tell me about the consequences of such judgement in relation to courtroom defendent vs. said worker.....
