This is crazy stuff.
Good thing will come to this waitress. She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment for doing something good.

Restaurant lays off waitress who shaved head for cancer charity
Posted by Cory Doctorow, June 6, 2008 12:50 AM | permalink
Heal Emru sez, "An Owen Sound, Ontario waitress at Nathaniel's restaurant was laid off for the summer after she shaved her hair for a cancer fundraiser. I wonder if they would also turn away paying customers who were bald, especially if it was from chemo?"
Stacey Fearnall raised more than $2,700 for charity, but when she showed up for work and refused to sport a wig for her shift, her boss told her to take the summer off.
Her employer, Dan Hilliard, says his restaurant has certain standards prohibiting men from wearing earrings and requiring employees to keep their hair at a reasonable length...
He says he's already heard from some customers who agree with him and say they would have been "appalled" to have been served at Fearnall's table.

Im like one of the commentors in there...Hope his business suffers. I would be the type to fight that.....but like you said bro...She will get something good out of this and then she can go back to her former boss and stick her tongue out at him....and Say " Thats Life!"

HERE HERE!
Me being bald has nothing to do with my opinion....that lady did a wonderful thing and her boss was a complete jerk. The fact that customers would have been appalled is truly pathetic. Remind me to never spend my vacation dollars in Ontario.
Why was she only given the option to wear a wig? Why not let her put a lapel pin on her uniform saying "I shaved my head for cancer" or something else explaining her actions?
JERKS! -

Here's a photo of her. She's not even razor-shaved. It's not at all uncommon to see women with hair this short. What is the big fucking deal, anyway?
