Queequeg Savvy! Why you don’t savvy?
Because they are concealed.
You’ve got positions where the only thing a customer “sees” is a voice over a phone and you won’t hire a fat guy like me?
Trust me, I’m VERY good at flying a desk!
Weight, tattoos and piercings affect the customer experience just how again?

This is a self-immolator:
Ok, I get that.
A help desk guy isn’t even seen by the customer, oh well every company has their strangeness.
True.
I cannot understand why people want to deface their bodies with tatoos. Most of them are so ugly.
I would never have one- even a tiny one.
Would you hire Chumlee for any position requiring judgement?
You make a good point. I probably would hire the knowledge and the customer service - management is very conservative in its thinking. We hired our first female engineer who was working on her CCIE last year. We have one racial minority who was a marine and came with a buttload of experience. I argued for three days to get him in the shop. Who you are (or appear to be) is much more important than what you know or can do.
While reading this article I remembered when I was sitting in my doctor’s office waiting for my turn and noticed a young girl with a tattoo of a butterfly just below her belly button. She was still wearing her maternity clothes (if that’s what they call them nowadays) and her belly was still quite large and showing of course. I always wondered just how large that butterfly grew.
I think Chumlee might actually be kind of bright... he is just scripted as the dummy on that show.
Queequeg was savvy! In his time he was a true nonconformist, not a copycat. If he were alive today he’d be wearing a Brooks Brothers suit. Now that’s original. Incidentally Queequeg once said something very profound - “you’ll find wickedness in all meridians.”
True, but neither you nor I own the company. The owners get to make the rules.
Generally wise rules are more productive than prejudiced rules...
It looks like he has a job in basic math studies.
IIRC, Chumlee is part owner of that shop, even though he plays the menial buffoon on the show. Big Hoss will, of course, inherit Rick’s part of the store. So they are both self-employed business owners and don’t have to worry about someone “hiring” them. Most young people their age can’t say that.
Until you celebrate with employee buddies one time where they see it. The word will then be out. And what about company parties, swimming, beaches, etc.
Queequeg shout out!
The original tat was a caterpillar!
Yeah, I noticed that as I was posting it.
"Dahling, I'm off the piercing spa. We have the Opera at 8."
Ick! Just think of what goes on in that place. ICK!
