To me, this looks bad on Sleep Country, and just makes them look like snooty, spoilsport, buzz killington's. That is my opinion on it, just as everyone else is entitles to their own.

Sleep Country: "Hey Daniel, doing the cancer thing this year again eh?"
Daniel: "Sure am."
SC: "Great. Remember our agreement from last year though, we need you to wear a hat when working to cover it up, please and thanks."
D: "#### YOU SLEEP COUNTRY YOU NAZI PIECES OF SH-"
SC: "Whoa, Daniel, wai-"
D: "I'M TRYING TO SUPPORT CANCER HERE AND YOU WANT ME TO COVER UP MY HEAD."
SC: "We had an agreement that you could dye your hair as long as you wore a hat while working, this was fine last year."
D: "WELL IT ISN'T THIS YEAR, I'M GOING HOME."
SC: "... we just want you to put a hat on, Da-"
D: "NO."
It's odd that Sleep Country gets painted as a 'Buzz Killington' or you suggest that they think they're selling elite luxury goods. From hearing both sides of the story, it's quite clear that Sleep Country made a very fair request that the employee put on a hat, as he had done the previous year, and this time the employee chose not to accept that reasonable ask.
Obviously the job wasn't worth much to him, and he found a new job post-haste. So I really have to ask what the problem is here, and why Sleep Country is deserving of any of the villification you've directed towards them in your post, Pylon.

So is it acceptable then that your receptionist should be able to have any of the absurd hair styles/colours in my post above? She likely makes $12 an hour, if she's lucky (but probably less). Should your income dictate what level of professionalism one is expected to exude in their appearance?
