when I go to buy dvd's

when I buy dvd's, I either stop at a fast food restaurant before the dvd store,
or after the dvd store before going home, depending on which stores I'm going
to.

like when I stopped at Wendy's the other day.

How come every time I go into a restaurant, everyone else leaves right away
BEFORE they finish eating? even though they don't know me at all.

Not only that, but I also overheard the manager talking to another employee
about me.

She said she would have hired me except that my "hairstyle isn't up to date".

She said that I "looks like a reject from the 70's".

That sounds kind of like discrimination to me, but I guess they can
discriminate on hairstyle. Just not on race, religion, sex, etcetera.

After all, they probably wouldn't have hired someone who looked like a hippie
in the 60's, 70's, ad 80's unless they got their cut.

But my hair isn't long, and is a regular style.

I guess, (according to them), I should dye my hair purple or green or blue and
get a reverse mohawk, and earrings and noserings, so that my hairstyle is "up
to date" so that I can get a job at Wendy's.

But that isn't me, and isn't my style.

If people are vacating the premises as soon as you enter maybe your
"style" (and hygiene and personality) need some changing.

Just some friendly constructive criticism.

Strange, after I buy a DVD, I usually want to watch it.... Ditch the
fast food till after I see the movie!

Any chance you look like the hunch back from Notre Damn?

That could be good and bad.... Is she cute?

Hmmm, I think I'm a reject from the 70's, but that has nothing to do
with how I dress or act... I just love Disco! Of course, I like
Country and 80's POP music as well... I want to go back to the
70's...

Maybe, but get over it ... Fact is the more you try to fight
discrimination the more you'll have cases of reverse-discrimination.
As to the long hair, ear-rings, etc. most of them are signs the
We-Card orginization tells us to look out for, and if you show any of
those signs, we're supposed to I.D. you, even if you look like you may
be over 21.... Got a Tattoo, nose-ring, eye-ring, tounge pearcing...
Whip out your I.D. Come in clean-shaven with a short haircut, nice
button up long sleeve shirt... Ya might be able to leave that I.D. in
the car.... Threaten to kick our ass for waiting on the person in
front of you... We'll say we detected signs of intoxication and can't
sell you alcohol.... Any lip and we call the cops! Difference is
we've got legal backing... We will always have legal backing as long
as they wish to fine us stricter than those commiting the crime.

Probably, but then again, there was more power to refuse to hire
someone for any reason what soever back then. You could tell them you
was predjudice and get away with it... In fact, you might increase the
number of customers by being predjudice!

>But my hair isn't long, and is a regular style.
Shame on you... A 3rd Class citizen. Lower than a single person.
Not allowed to walk on the streets without yelling "Unclean!" Next
thing you know your going to say your not a gay monk who molest
children for a hobby.... Man, how do you ever expect to get a
date???? Seriously, fads and fashion will change, the current fad is
for people to claim they're gay coming out of the closet and religious
and political officials raping and molesting little children. The
youth's parents have no way of showing attention to their children,
because their parents never showed them any attention. The children
have no way of dealing with it, so they poke their selves full of
holes until they can no longer move, hoping someone will make notice
of them either by saying how stupid they look or saying how cool they
look. The worst thing you can do in their eyes is pretend they're
normal.... Doing that will just ruine their image...

Don't forget to do your eyes too.... I used to work with this girl
with purple hair and colored contacts.... She'd change her eye-color
every day! Somedays it was red, somedays it was purple... I normally
don't notice a girls eyes, but the purple eyes really weirded me out
one night... Granted Red eyes weird out most people, but.... Purple
kinda weirded me out.... I can imagine someone filling out an
employment app for her... "Let's see... Eye color.... Yellow and black
striped with blue dots.... Hair color.... Green... Race 1st place to
the funny farm..... Sex.... Stilll thinking..... Last grade
completed... You got to be kidding???"

>But that isn't me, and isn't my style.
Good! Be different! Just don't be stupid in the eye of being
different!
