Hey.
I'm having a qualification course now, and as soon as I'll be done with it, I'll try to sign up for a job as a waiter somewhere around US, on a cruise ship, or, on a worse case, somewhere around Europe.
I was wondering, is that OK for a waiter to be bald? I've never seen one around, so that's why I'm asking you: Have you ever seen bald waiters on restaurants around?
-
Yes, in the United States they are all over the place.

Yes in Texas I sometimes sometimes have a waiter at a chain restaurant is has shaven head. Usually a guy who likely is around 20.
-
okay, thanks. I'm also waiting for other's reply :)
I was asking that because some one told me that in Romania, I'll have low chances to get a waiter job with a shaved head. For some reason which I don't know.

My experience in NO and everywhere I've traveled in the US is that it's totally accepted in the hospitality industry including restaurants. I've only been on a cruise ship once--and it wasn't for a cruise, it's where we lived after Katrina working to get the City up. The crew had several sly members. It's nothing unusual in the States at all.
-
I've seen sly waiters in restaurants locally in New York.
I've also seen them on cruises. Very normal to see and accepted.
-
In New York City, bald waiters are pretty common. My wife and I had dinner in the city last weekend and both the waiter and the maitre'd had shaved heads.
-
I have had a lot of bald waiters in restraunts. They have class!
I usually compliment them on how great they look.

I doubt a US cruise company would hire you in case they wanted you to work on a European itinerary, because its not as acceptable in Europe as it is in the US, and they wouldnt hire you purely to work on their US itineraries. When you get a job like that with a cruise line, they'll post you to whichever ship they need you to be on, and you generally have a 10 month contract which you then re-negotiate at the end of it, so you're rarely on the same ship for more than 10 months, and as I said, they wouldnt hire you if you ONLY wanted to work on a cruise ship based in the US.
I dont know about the hotel industry these days, but when I worked for Marriott, baldness was a no-no unless it was natural and unavoidable, as was facial hair.

:/O How is facial hair other than, "natural and unavoidable?" Just curious :)

I was in a restaurant last night and the boss and a server were BBC. Oh and me too. It looks very clean. Sure it's acceptable, I sure don't want to see any hair in food.
-
I see it all the time.
-
I would tend to think that in the food service business it would be reasonable to be sly or wear a hairnet when serving peoples' food.
-
I currently work in food service, and I'm still required to wear a cap, even if I'm freshly sly. Not sure if they require it simply because it's part of the uniform, or Health Dept. regs actually require that.
-
some one who works as a waiter told me that, as a man, it's adviced to be bald:d
I felt damn good:D
