[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 668500, member: 18471"] Yes UPS has been "beard free" for 100yrs. They were also earring free (men) for how many years? Now men can have 1 earring, some have lonngg hair, I know supposed to be "up" but how often is that enforced for both men and women? UPS drivers used to wear police style caps, and ties, but now don't have to. Yes someone's opinion of "neatly groomed" can vary but that can also apply to pressed uniforms, etc. You couldn't wear shorts until how many years ago? What would a customer think of a driver who comes in when the temp is below 25* wearing shorts, with long hair even if it is tucked up under a net, and an earring? All of which can be allowed under current guidelines. Yes the military is relatively beard free, I think the Navy allows them to conserve water on ship. (I may be wrong but back when I was in the service in the 70's they were allowed but you had to have your ID card changed and other hassles, I was in the Army and hated shaving everyday.) I was told in the Army it was because your gas mask could seal against your face, you also polished your boots because it helped waterproof them. Someones opinion of a beard is just that an opinion, many professionals have them, (think doctors, lawyers, etc), would you refuse an ER doctor because he has a beard and longish hair? [/QUOTE]
