Waitress loses job after shaving her head for charity

I came across this article on Perez Hilton, of all places. This woman, living (and until recently working) in Owen Sound, ON. shaved her head to support a cancer charity (Cops for Cancer) and when she showed up to work the next day she was fired!!! 

My husband's parents, who live in Wiarton, ON (about 40 minutes outside of Owen Sound) were just at this restaurant, Nathaniel's, to celebrate their wedding anniversary and they've raved about it on more than one occasion. They're both very disappointed, and surprised at this news, not only because the woman was unjustly "laid-off" (ahem, bullshit, she was fired), but because apparently this head-shaving ritual is really popular all over the area up there. My in-laws listed off a number of people they've come across who participate, some shave their heads every year, and it seems that the whole thing is quite supported by the public. So, it's not like the owner of Nathaniel's could claim that people would think he had hired a skin-head or something. Customers see this all the time and embrace it. 

This is sexist and ridiculous (I've attached the article which details this point well, so I won't bore you by rehashing it here...), and I just had to comment. 

Follow the link and read all the details.
