The mom says that Autumn has never dyed her hair; the color of her braids best matches her natural color.

Naturally lighter hair while black: a fireable offense

That is the most normal hairstyle I've ever seen. In South Africa I see much more elaborate hair styles literally every day, and it's super cool.

Their issue wasn't the hairstyle but blonde hair on someone with dark skin. Apparently it's "unnatural". Growing up mixed race black in the US, you run into this with a certain type of person. Evidence of misagination really bothers them.

Yeah that also happens in South Africa, especially towards the coloured community here.(Not a racial slur in South Africa, it's it's own culture/ethnicity and many people self identify with the term). Some really vile stuff gets said towards them.

You dont even need to be mixed to have blonde hair they had no excuse

In the article, it says they invited her to return to work after they realized the rule had been misinterpreted. The absolute gall. Of course she doesn't want to work with those fuckers! They've made it very clear how they see her, but now in their generosity they're going to offer her job back. I'm glad she's exploring her legal options instead.

Except in very particular situations (Actors… that’s pretty much it) I don’t think employers should be allowed to have literally any opinion on your appearance past like, “don’t literally be covered in dirt.”

To be honest, interviews should be blind with fake names and voice modulators. On top of the obvious sex and race reasons that you shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate, I don’t think employers should be allowed to ban things like piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, weird hairstyles, etc.

Obviously you shouldn’t be allowed to fire a black girl for having light hair, but I don’t think you should be allowed to fire someone for having a green Mohawk and a septum ring either. Fuck off, it’s none of your business.

I appreciate my line of work because I can wear fishnets and makeup and short shorts while in the office, while in the same building with poor souls forced to wear button ups and shoes which give their footsies wounds.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Same here, as a scientist no one gives a fuck what you wear day to day as long as you have closed toes shoes and tie your hair back

Fuck this company and their terrible bland food too. We've had some pop up where I live in the past few years and the place legit causes traffic jams because of all the grillman suburbanite slobs in their tank sized SUV's lining up for their slop. Then every other week we learn about how yet another manager there is a bigot. I remember when libs were running defense for the company when the ghoul who owns it was revealed to be a homophobe. Their refrain was always "oh his views aren't policy or the views of the people who work there". What kind of people do you think he hired? And what kind of people do you think he encouraged his underlings to hire? You think there might be a connection between who he is and the fact that you can't make it through the drive through there without another news article like this dropping?

and the whole 'closed on sunday' means even normal scumbag capitalists avoid the business, only christfreaks, and the specific kind who want to murder lgbt people are going to be franchisers of a joint like that

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

i've seen it said here that their franchisee interview process is wildly invasive and thorough to ensure that only the most unhinged christofascists are allowed to use their money printer

they make those kids stand outside in the florida heat with zero sun protection

it should be an executable offense to expose workers to that level of potential harm (sun, heat, vehicle exhaust, risk of getting run over), let alone children

Shit is pathetic and with inflation prices they all just look like addicts now. Like Chik Fil A drive thru in 2023 is a methadone clinic for food issues.

Nothing more than racism. Sure, it's easy to dismiss that claim because it's "overused", but when it keeps happening and there are no excuses for it, what else could it be?
