I asked for a different sales person because the one who approached me had a big ring in his lip. He looked bizarre.
This was at an Apple computer store, and the sales person was the greeter at the door. I told him to his face that the ring in his lip distracted me from having any serious conversation about computers with him and that I wanted to speak with somebody else. Somebody who looks like a fruitcake should not be allowed to personify an upscale, retail store like Apple. It reflects poorly on the entire company.

You are a judgemental piece of sh!t.

Doesn't matter. It is my money, and I choose who to give it to. And a sales person who intentionally looks like a fruitcake won't get one dime in commission from me.

Face piercings (or other body parts) aren't for me, but to each his or her own. Apparently, the person who hired this salesperson didn't care about the piercing, nor did they think it would affect his performance or he wouldn't have hired him. Your attitude is a throwback to the 60s. I'm sorry you can't grow beyond your prejudices.
Now, not all 20-somethings are going to have piercings like that, but they are becoming more and more mainstream, so you had better get used to it, especially if you are going to shop at a store that caters to 20- and 30-somethings, as the Apple stores do.Like (3)

His manager did not necessarily know about the piercing. How the employee appeared at his job interview may have differed from how he looked when I met him. A ring on his lip could be attached or removed in seconds; and by the time that I had left the store, he had removed it.

Piercings, however, always leave marks. So, unless the manager was blind, he would have been able to tell if the salesperson had one. Also, unless the manager never shows up when that salesperson was working, he would see it then. To what do you attribute him removing the ring?

I think I am a pretty understanding person who respects others opinions. I'm sure you feel the same... So I hope you'll understand when I say you are a piece of ****. (And if I get "EP punished") it was totally worth it, so let me also say, **** You!! ;) Happy New Year *******.

While lip piercings are not exactly high on my list of personal appearance enhancements, I doubt that it would have an impact on my dealings with this person if he was courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. While I remember a time when such adornments would have been considered beyond the pale, I also realize (sometimes with sadness) that those times are long gone, particularly in an industry which is geared towards people younger than ourselves. Times change.

I agree with you on most points. Normally, I am very tolerant. But understand one thing. I was there. You weren't. I saw the sales person. You didn't. His lip piercing looked more bizarre than anything that I have ever seen. It was a very unusual situation.

Um. Ok. But did the ring actual remove IQ at all? IDK. One of the think-tank folks at the non-profit I worked for had seriously long dread-locks. Someone else said something similar to her. I felt strongly compelled to stand in front of her and be her defense. The researcher dude didn't know that it was part of her religious ex
pression and even after she told him, he wasn't buying it. I found that frustrating. This woman is shockingly intelligent. She sees both the big picture and the minutiae. That aside, her dreads were beautiful and she always smelled like heaven; the fact that she always brought amazing food to all our power-planning sessions didn't hurt at all. In short... what I'm asking is, did you know anything else about the guy except that he had a piercing that didn't impress you?

I like piercings, but not on faces. A lip or eyebrow piercing looks bad and I wouldn't employ someone who has one.

Thank you. It is a major distraction to a customer who is trying to have a serious discussion, when the sales person whom the customer is talking to has a ridiculous ring piercing his lip.
