Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was written up at work and sent home 20 minutes into my shift. My boss thought I was under the influence of something, but it’s really just the first time I’ve come to work with no makeup on. FML
Today, I got written up by my line manager for being too friendly to customers. I work in retail, my job is to be friendly. FML

Today, I got into trouble at work because a customer complained about my face tattoo, I don't have a face tattoo but I do have one behind my ear. Nonetheless, I still got written up and had to cover it with a band-aid, which ripped out hair when I took it off. FML
Today, I got written up for “making a big show” of being exhausted at work. I was trying to hide it. FML

Are they stupid? There's no way that's legal.

Where on earth do you work? I mean, I could understand maybe if you don't wash or brush your hair and it's a hygiene issue, but I can't think of any place where makeup would be mandatory or a thing people would complain about.

I'm quite sure you weren't being judged for being ugly, you probably aren't. But, i had a friend who had the same complaint and didn't understand why but to be honest she did honestly look greasy and not very well maintained... I however didn't really have the courage to tell her to work a bit more on her appearance but i'm pretty sure the costumers were right. People don't go that far to complain about something like that if it's really not that bad. You DO represent a company and judging from the complaint, you represent a company that requires a bit of a well maintained appearance, most do. Really.. Except MC donald workers to be honest. I assume your hair was messy and must've looked greasy or something which even kind of disgusts me as a customer too. I don't want someone who looks like they haven't washed their hair in days touch my food either. Or wherever you work at. I'm sorry but most people would be turned off.

No from the sounds of it its because you probably look like a slob. Brush your hair and make it look nice. That will help a lot.
