A 36-year-old waitress at an Owen Sound, Ont., restaurant lost her job this week after she shaved her head to raise money for a cancer charity.
Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous. I hope this manager gets fired and sued.
I think it was the owners that gave this lady the "summer off" - so, likely they won't get fired; business is likely going to stink for a while.
The deeper question is, in what universe did they think this news would some how come out positive for them? Did they honestly think there were going to be people out there who sympathize with their position?
I just can't imagine the two guys sitting around a table somewhere saying, "Well, she shaved her head for charity. So, we're going to put her on a leave of absence. That'll show her. Sure, it'll get posted in the papers, but we're bound to come out smelling like roses on this one."
