We all could go up there and make a statement. Set up a headshaving booth right across the street from that restaurant. Anyone willing to move the convention to Canada?? I have my passport...im ready!

Well, It may be a bit too late to change the convention here, but the town is only about 2 and a half to 3 hours away from me, and since I'm off all of August, if any of you are wanting to come up here for a weekend we could all go there for a day sporting our shiny domes raise absolute hell!!!

HHHhhhhhmmmmm....
I may be in one of my dissenting moods. But there might be other angles to consider.
I wonder if this young lady asked/forewarned her boss ahead of time. Or if she just walked in and shocked the hell outa everyone. If the latter, she may have approached it in a more responsible manner.
In other words, just because someone engages in a good....no, GREAT cause, doesn't automatically grant carte blanche, unchallengeable exploits in the workplace.
What if a valuable employee in some other business just up and took off a week or two of work, without calling in or any prior discussion or "arrangements", to do an out-of-town, out-of-state mega marathon fund raiser for AIDS, CANCER, SAVE THE WHALES, or whatever.
I'm not sure this employee--no matter how good the cause--could claim IMMUNITY.
I realize this illustration doesn't EXACTLY match......it's the principle.
That's a courageous great thing that girl did...but maybe it could have been done more responsibly as related to employment standards ...we don't know the details.
It would be a courageous and wonderful thing if for every facial tattoo, nose and eye brow piercing I recieved, a sizeable donation was made to cure AIDS....but I'd have some thinking to do as to how that might affect my career path.....and at least run it by my boss before just showing for my next appointment with Martha and Merle to consult them on their retirement plan.

Well, I've been to Owen Sound many times, and I know it's not a big city. I also know from when I shaved my head for COPS For Cancer fund raisers in the past, that word gets out well before you do it to everyone because you collect pledges to shave your head. So there is no question to the fact that her employers knew full well what she was doing. They could have advised her prior to doing it what their views were however they didn't. Therefore I still say we get a group of Sly brothers together and show up there!

If this is unequivocally the case....then...YES...YES
....let's burn the devil's den of an establishment and string up Satan's minions by their testicles! I'm on the next flight to Owen Sound, man.
