[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 525650, member: 12570"] Let's say a company were hiring auto salesman. Ford for example. One guy comes in with tattoos all over his neck, arms, hands - interviewing to be a SALESMAN. and they are visible. Is it discrimination for Ford not to hire this person due to their tattoos being unprofessional looking and placed in areas that are clearly visible? [COLOR=blue]It is not discrimination if it violates their appearance standards which are in writing and presented to the applicant prior to applying. [/COLOR] Would it be discrimination for UPS not to allow a part-time employee who has visible tats on their hands, arms, neck to qualify for 30 days driving because they look unprofessional? [COLOR=blue]See above.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=black]First impressions are lasting and the individual applying to sell cars could be the best sales man to ever walk through their doors but there will always be those potential customers (myself included) who would form an impression based upon his ink and either ask for another salesman or buy a car somewhere else.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]As for the UPS driver, tattoos have absolutely no correlation to ability but it goes back to first impressions and "professionalism". If I were a business owner I would be hesitant to accept deliveries in the front if the driver looked like he rode with the Hells Angels on the weekends and would ask that he bring all deliveries to the rear door or may request a different driver. That's just me and I am being as honest as I can be.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
