• I almost got fired for having a beard
    37 replies, posted
I know I don't really post much on these forums but this irritates me to no end and I have to rant. So I work at a Starbucks kiosk, and it's located in a Safeway, and Safeway's policies are fucking ridiculous One of them is to be clean shaven, all the time. Okay, so I'm thinking that's fine, I can go with that. So one day I get a fucking warning from my Safeway manager whom we will call "Jim," big whoop, I go home after and shave. Today I went to work with barely a fucking five o'clock shadow, fucking barely, and my he comes down like a fucking hurricane. He sends me home to shave, and when I get back my Starbucks manager tells me that "Jim" was pissed, and if I pulled that shit again I would lose my job. I know I signed a form saying I'd comply with all their shitty policies, but Jesus This is fucking ridiculous. Thanks Facepunch, I just wanted to get that out..

Clean means your face has no hint of hair.

They should respect you for having a beard. As long as it's one of those manly beards.
Kill him :ssh:
I'm just curious, is "Jim" normally so hotheaded?
I bet Jim is some fatass who has never gotten laid
take a picture, and if they fire you, sue them, and you'll have proof of how short it is
[QUOTE=UserDirk580;23373509]I'm just curious, is "Jim" normally so hotheaded?[/QUOTE] He is actually, something about managing a Safeway just fucks you up I guess..
"Jim" seems like one of those control freak, micromanagement tools. [img]http://static.reelmovienews.com/images/gallery/bill-lumbergh.jpg[/img]
Grow a moustache, say that you are australian. They cannot destroy your culture! Take some beer too, it will work! [sp]TF2 Reference, not racism.[/sp]
Grow a Grizzly Adam's beard and "Jim" will cower in fear. For real though, that really sucks. Where I work if you want a beard you have to grow it on a vacation, either full beard or clean shaven no in between.
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;23373438]Clean means your face has no hint of hair.[/QUOTE] True, but you'd think he would cut some slack It's such a petty thing to threaten a job over.
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;23373438]Clean means your face has no hint of hair.[/QUOTE] I don't think you understand how shaving works. No matter what kind of blade you use, there is always going to be some hair visible, especially around the chin where the blade is unable to fully make contact with all the odd angles. As for OP, I would send an email to corporate explaining the situation and have them look into it. This rule would never work for me because my facial hair grows so fast I can shave in the morning and I'll have enough hair to shave again at the end of the day.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;23373451]Because beards ruin the quality of [B]FUCKING COFFEE.[/B][/QUOTE] Who would fuck their coffee? And what's beard got to do with it? :raise:
Jim is a hipster who doesn't want the reputation of his starbucks to go down the drain.
Wait... would he rage for like, chops too? Because that's pretty bad. If people didn't need jobs, I'd say quit, but they do. But that's down right ridiculous.
It's all horseshit anyway, It's a fucking Starbucks kiosk we don't even wear hats or hairnets or shit
You could also say it's for religious purposes. If you're Jewish you can say that you're not allowed to shave it off. But then you'd have to have a very long beard.

The manager at the safeway I worked at flipped on everybody too. It always seems like assholes get the management positions.

It's because you'll look Arab.
Reminds me of how a clothes store near me only hires guys if they are gay or really good looking (no fucking joke)
Call it discrimination, gather bearded friends.
I don't want your beard hair in my coffee.
who cares you probably looked like a dick anyway
lol what at my work in a RESTAURANT, and my brother's too, also in a restaurant, you can have a beard as much as you want
Maybe it was Jims time of the month?
