'Have fun covering my shifts': Supermarket boss declares 'no unnatural [hair] colors,' employee maliciously complies

This supermarket employee is learning that some bosses care way more about appearances than others. It really depends on your career path: if you're a lawyer, there's no way you can show up to work rocking green hair and lip piercings. But there are plenty of job opportunities where HR either doesn't care or doesn't have the power to instruct employees about that kind of thing. 

When you rock an unnatural hair color, people usually have one of three reactions. They'll either tell you they like it, say nothing, or just point out that you have colorful hair. It's surprising, and it catches people off guard. Not everyone can pull off bright rainbow colors, but those of us who do can't imagine life without it. The OP of this story felt strongly about their hair, too. They write that they'd had blue dreadlocks, followed by a shorter purple hairdo after taking their locs out. But their new boss wasn't happy with either of those "unnatural" colors, and decided to put her foot down about it. 

Check out this person's story, then check out the tale of one young barista who managed to get their first job shut down after learning they were being underpaid.
