    Font - No-Balance4216 Yup. I had a blue mohawk at the restaurant I waited tables at. Got blamed for a long black hair in a customer's food by the cook with the long black hair. All I could say was "you serious?"

    Font - lavaguava420 My head is shaved and a customer came up to me with their food and showed me a long brown hair. My cooks had shaved heads and were wearing hats. His wife had long brown hair. I gave him another slice of pizza anyway because clearly he's having some trouble.

    Font - ChasingReignbows I had already ginger hair that was dyed blood red and someone comes up to me about a black hair in their food. I'm like "it is physically impossible inmultiple ways for that to have come from me"

    Font - elebrin If I worked in a kitchen, I think I'd just shave my head. Seems like it'd make things a lot easier, but then I'm a man. Just get rid of the inconvenient bull

    Font - Ta5hak5 Not to do with the food industry but I've always have long brown hair that sheds everywhere and my husband has always bugged me for it. But my MIL and BIL also have brown hair, and my brother in laws is even longer than mine these days. Over the summer I had super bright magenta hair and had a great time pointing out every time there was a hair around that wasn't mine lol

    Font - Squidly Man150 I saw a similar situation, a lady wanted free lunch so she said there was hair in her food. The manager made a big show of calling all the staff out, they were all bald!

    Font - surfacing_husky I once had a lady tell me "that man over there rubbed his armpit on my fries and put hair on them!" While working fast food, I told her "that did not happen, I've been standing near him for 2 hours!" And she called my gm the next day who laughed at her lol.
