Thanks for quoting the entire post, only to reply to the very last sentence with an equally short sentence.

I think you should expect professionalism any time you are dealing directly with customers, period. Delivery guy, receptionist, sales guy, whatever.

Great, and guess what - when you're in that kind of position, you're more than welcome to do so. When you're the dealer principal, you can shave the corporate logo in the back of your head. I'm sure people will love it.
But when someone asks the delivery guy to put on a hat to cover his bright pink hair because he's violating company policy with it (and he is fully aware that he is violating said policy), just put the damn hat on and save everyone the drama. You did something you knew was against policy and you did it anyway, and the company is actually being reasonable about it by simply asking you wear a hat. Is this REALLY a bridge worth dying on?
