I re-read the original post and no where I read was there a mention of the race of the server. So what is racist about the post? Because they mention BLM? I wouldn't be happy if the server was wearing a MAGA hat/mask and I'm a conservative. I go to an entertainment venue to enjoy myself and get away from all the garbage happening in the world. Political/social statements have no place in a business serving the public. Yeah, I know, racist, racist, racist, racist! Used so much that it means nothing. Get a new dead horse to beat.

You aren't serious, right? Most men only own shorts in Florida. They go everywhere in shorts. Where have you been?

I agree. Cowardice to avoid talking to manager and ‘going to Corporate’.

If the thing that bothered you was the fingernails, then why did you go out of your way to describe his piercings, the design on his mask, his gender, his piercings, his long hair, and his sparkly hair clips? What did his shoes look like? What condition was his shirt in? Were his pants clean or dirty? Was his apron tied correctly in the back? If you're going to give us all those details about "things that didn't bother you" then why did you choose those specific things that didn't bother you - and then harp on his fingernails? Sorry - not buying it. Seems to me you just wanted to judge someone, and wanted to describe all the things that offend you - and then picked fingernails as your excuse for complaining.

Everything that the Op described would have violated the dress code policy when I used to wait tables. And I don't care if it was a girl or guy decked out like that - we would have been sent home.

I'm all for people being themselves but if you're going to be a food server you can't wear long nails and you need to comply with the restaurant's dress code policy. If the restaurant has a very lax dress code policy for their staff and that makes you uncomfortable you can absolutely go elsewhere. But most managers will tell you that they would want to know why you were going elsewhere.

The exception would be if this was some sort of edgy restaurant or a roadside bar and grill hole in the wall sort of place - when in Rome. But a typical restaurant in The Villages is probably not too "edgy", lol.

Then don’t look! Yes, it’s that easy.

Waiters are also salesman. "People buy from people they like." If a waiter's appearance is generally offensive, this will be reflected in his tip income. His choice--and mine.

What was disturbing is the fact that he had very long fingernails (made me nauseas) which when he touched our bowls, his nails went over the edge toward the inside of our plates. He also had a BLM mask on, plenty of earrings and other visible piercings, and long hair which was held back by sparkly Hair clips. I had all I could do to eat my dinner without constantly seeing those long fingernails. When I go out to eat, I don’t go out to have any political, religious or other personal preference shoved in my face. I go to relax and chat with my husband over some good food.

I would think that these long nails would be a health concern for the restaurant. Think of the gross stuff that is under those nails??

I did come home and write to corporate. People have the right to be who they want to be , however when their poor hygiene affects my food and a dining experience I paid for, it crosses the line for me.

Blast off!

Where?
