"He says he's already heard from some customers who agree with him and say they would have been 'appalled' to have been served at Fearnell's table."

Uh huh. I doubt it. Long hair is a food safety issue. No hair isn't. This is sexism plain and simple.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard of! If I were a regular at that restaurant I would boycott it until she returned. The regulars would ask and understand why she was bald and would probably throw in an extra loonie or two for the charity. Guests would just have to get over it!

this guy sounds like a dick... he should be made to pay her for the time she is off.. she should take it to human rights commission... I have been served by many bald male waiters... a little sexist isnt it?

Maybe not sexism but just plain ordinary "stupidism". Didn't this guy learn about bad press from the whole Tim Hortons timbit issue?

Some girls look kind of cute with a shaved head.

That is pure and simple an unfair release of an employee and she needs to be rehired immediately if he wants to avoid the negative press and fallout from his decision. And that would only happen if she wanted to come back to work. Bad choice, bad choice.

You said it, pal.

I fail to see the sexism in it. A whole lot of asshole-ism on the part of the manager though.

Is that even legal?

My guess is that if he had a male waiter who shaved his head he'd be fine with it. I just get he feeling that he doesn't like bald women.

That's actually a very good point.

Agreed good point.

I though Sinead was pretty hot wiht the shaved head. I wouldn't go out with her though--too high maintenance. OK I might, but only because she's hot and rich. But I mean, who needs her going off about "Fight the real enemy" when you're trying to order the linguini at White Spot.

Woohoo--4000 posts!
