Now that I think about it, I realize that you are correct.

This fashion thing is the same as telematics. We know the rules but we continue to try and trick the system and see what we can get away with. If you have earrings just take them out. If you have tattoos cover them up. If you have long hair put it underneath your hat. Individuality? "Oh, the company is taking away my individuality", sorry Kurt Cobain, but you become UPS once you put on that uniform and are on the clock. I once refused a job at Round Table Pizza cause they wanted me to cut my hair and i said NO...........BUT i was a 16 year old hessian that didn't know any better. I'm still a hessian though, but i follow the rules. C'mon MEN! Get with it!

Don't forget your lip gloss.

Long hair you can hide, fine. If this is what the company requires, so be it. But it makes absolutely no sense that the acceptability of facial hair depends on whether it is located above or below the lip. It has absolutely nothing to do with individuality.

Agreed, but trying to express with ink,earrings,rings and bracelets is. If they want you to shave whatever, just shave! Why resist, they pay you.

Long hair don't care.

When you've lived with something for a while, it's almost offensive when someone forces you to change it. Yes, nobody can FORCE you, you can always quit, or not drive. But what kind of an option is that? When I was driver helping I had to shave my goatee. I play with it a lot when my hands are idle. So I found myself touching my chin a lot wondering what was missing. It's almost like if you were forced to shave your head (assuming you don't already have really short hair - I don't)... although not quite that extreme.
I'm not saying I wouldn't do it to drive, but it will be a difficult move to make... as it would not be temporary.

Just yank the studs and put them away.
Then get yourself a Mohawk haircut to jag 'em off. Nothing in the appearance code against rockin' a 'Hawk.

Our competition sports full beards while they soak up all of our volume. My wife loves my vacation Goatee as I'm sure some of the gals on my route would. Aren't the Brown duds dull enough?

Already done that. The hawk was a good time.

Sure, it's all good.
He's a hot, little Cutie, so I doubt it will detract too much.
Awwww, shucks. You're gonna make me blush :$
No, no I wouldn't.
Go with the stache but go porn-stache. B!tches LOVE the porn-stache!!!
*I've had people ask me what it takes to be a driver. After I tell them a few little things I finish it off by, "You'll have to shave that beard/goatee off but you can keep the stache." 90% off these huaahs reply, "SCREW THAT!!!" Closer = "You wouldn't shave your face for $80k/year???" To my surprise, most of them say "NO!!" Huaahs!!!

In terms of the dress code, one thing I don't get. "Boots". Being the new guy, they are basically wanting me to wear the clunky "clod hopper" type footwear. Training sup went on about how he can't stand guys wearing "tennis" shoes. How it's not safe. But they go on and on about impact on joints, knees, back, etc. We do an "athletic" job, yet they frown on footwear basically designed for what we do. Don't get it.
