[QUOTE="I GOT ONE MORE, post: 668444, member: 5997"] Only in America. A policy in place for over a hundred years. A policy that provides for our professional image. A policy that is a pain in the *ss, but everyone knows it is a good policy. Some guys can grow real nice looking beards and keep them well groomed, but all guys are different. I see those FDX and USPS with the scraggily face hair, undefined borders and an overall unkempt look. Right or wrong, its an untrustworthy appearance. UPS provides the customer with a subtle confidence and reliance with our appearance guidelines. These guidelines are only a part of our overall professional image with our customers. If you buy a BigMac in Los Angeles or Moscow, you know what to expect when you bite into it. You know what its going to taste like. Our uniform, shoes, methods, sense of urgency mentality, package cars, APPEARANCE guidelines all contribute to that end, what the customer is expecting. There are those customers who are surprised about our beard policy, but I am sure those same customers would be appalled if UPS drivers (particularly utility drivers) started showing up with half baked whiskers, stubble, five o'clock shadows, goatees, Vandykes. Next thing you know, here come the mullets. But I digress, here is my two cents. If you apply for a job where you must wear brown, and you don't like brown for WHATEVER reason, then there are other jobs where you don't have to wear brown. Lots of them. You can see more with your eyes open. [/QUOTE]
