I think you’re missing a point. If she’s selling clothes to women, what men think of her tattoos is not relevant. It’s the women who are going to buy clothes from her that don’t like the tattoos that matter here.

I think my comment "But if the person (doesn't matter which sex) interacts with customers, tats will have a definite impact on hiring." is exactly the point.

But she is not exactly “selling” clothes to women. Have you ever been to a TG Max? Do you think they have stylists on the floor giving fashion advice and picking out outfits for customers? You’d be very lucky to find anyone to help you at all.

She would be hired to man the check out. May her tats and piercings be off putting to some? Sure. But does that alone make her unable to scan the purchases, bag them and collect the money? Probably not IMO.

To be honest at the grocery store I often shop at, there’s a gal with tats, piercings, and purple hair and when I see her working the checkout I get in her line. Why?

Because she does a good job. She’s fast, accurate and efficient and friendly.

If I were shopping for clothes and this chick appeared to give me fashion advice, I’d find another sales girl in a heartbeat. I’d ASSUME right away that she lacks discernment, and would KNOW that her taste doesn’t align with mine.
