| You wanna see how far you can push me? How far I'll bend without breaking? Ha, well congratulations, you've succeeded.. There's two underlying issues that are my main frustrations. The earring policy in the first place is absolutely ludacris. The uniform is the uniform, and the fact that girls can wear earrings and guys can't is just plain stupid. And if you wanna be sticklers about it, fine, but don't turn me into the example. I can name about 4-6 people off the top of my head that should be fired because of visible tattoos, piercings, and other shit. It's 2006, guys wear earrings, get over it O'Charleys.
My other main point is this. I went to the management and told them I wanted to get my ears pierced. They said fine, but you're going to have to wear bandaids over them to cover them up until they heal and you can take them out. Fine whatever, it'll look stupid, but I'll suck it up. That went fine for about a week, until I was told that I either had to get rid of them, or find another job.  WHAT?! They're the ones that renigged on their agreement with me, not the other way around. If they had told me, "Bryan, sadly, if you wanna keep your job here, you can't get your ears pierced," sure I would've bitched and moaned about it, but I wouldn't have gotten them done. Now they've backed me into a corner, saying that I can't keep my job unless I get rid of them. And for those of you thinking, why dont you just put clear studs/holders in while you work? Because I just got them done, and if I try to stick plastic things in there, they will get infected.. especially my cartlidge piercing. I am also in desperate need of money right now, so I ALMOST said screw it, I'll just take them out, let them close up, and keep my job. But what happens when they do something else to really piss me off (which has been happening more frequently lately) and I either quit, or get fired. Then I would be out of a job, and my new fabulous piercings. SO... I guess I'll be at the temp agency bright and early monday morning.
Contrary to popular belief, I have actually grown kinda fond of the OC 412, and trust and believe, I will NEVER, EVER look at another O'Charley's the same again. So in conclusion, screw you O'Charleys, screw you! |
