Man, I have to shave the facial hair

I know this topic or whether or not people prefer facial hair has been discussed.  Or what kind of facial hair we prefer but I just thought I'd ramble on about finally getting back to work.  I just got back from an interview with Farm Fresh and they hired me to be an overnight stocker.  The hours are around 9pm or 10pm until about 6 or 7am.  The crazy thing though is that they want me to shave my goatee off.  Of course I agreed because I need the job real bad right now and they started me out at a very good pay rate.  Better than I had expected and better than most grocery stores would start people around here.  So I couldn't turn it down, especially not over some facial hair.  But at the same time I still think it's crazy because they are going to be closed during the hours I'm working.  Why would they care about me having a close cut goatee.  I'm not going to be interacting with any customers.  I just don't like my face with no facial hair.  I just don't look the same.  I don't know what it is.  It sort of makes my face look like it doubles in size.  But hey, what can I do?  Just thought I'd whine a little.  Like I said, I couldn't turn it down.  The overnight hours will allow me to keep watching my son and leave my days open to go back to school when I'm ready.

Congrats on the job, Lance.  Sounds crazy to me, too.  But you do what ya gotta do.

Best of luck!!! O0

I worked at a grocery store before...they're idiotic like that.  They HAVE to follow the company guidelines when they hire you.  However since you work those night hours, you will probably be working with a lot more laid back group of people, including your manager.  Working those hours, you should become comfortable with them rather quickly.  Thats when you slip by with the goatee shaved on a one all around.  THen two weeks later it goes up to a two.  Leave it at two guard max.  The manager you spoke with was most likely the day time manager, and not the stock manager.

If not, you can always apply to a similar job somewhere else now that you have "experience".  Or you can keep the totally sly look, like Mike in your avatar, vin diesel has the totally sly too.  You'll get used to it.  But I feel ya man, I much prefer facial hair as well.

Lance, glad to hear you found a job.   O0
Sounds like it fits in with your schedule too so that's not a bad thing.
The goatee can always be grown back, like Chico says.
You just have to go about it slowly, and maybe as time goes on and they see how you work and fit in, it won't matter. Some times it just has to be that way.
Like SLYin KC said: "You do what ya gotta do".

Good luck with the new job!

I'm sure it's somy kind of company policy crap.  That's one thing about being self employed, I make the rules about facial hair.
