I lived in San Francisco for years. Whenever I went to a restaurant or store where they hired staff with facial tatoos and metal piercings and spiked orange hair, I just never went back.
I is smart for businesses not to hire these offensive looking people. The reality is they do cause a drop in business. It is shame the young people doing it are so oblivious to how their repulsive looks make it difficult for people put off by them to have to look at their face and deal with them.

One of the things that startled me in my working career is the number of otherwise smart people who regularly sabotaged their own success. For example, the guy who did fabulous work, but then showed up drunk at an important meeting with the boss. Then, there were pleasant people who would go out of their way to be gratuitously rude to somebody important to their job. These things usually happened on the eve of raises or promotions. Why? It made no sense.
