If Alicia wanted to do those things yes it was her choice,

That's so stupid not hiring someone because there freaking lip is peirced how pathetic... what next... ''Im sorry but we can no except you because you have green eyes we only take blue's''

It may sound stupid, but some people see facial piercings as a sign of dirtiness and the manager wouldn't want that. Personally, I love piercings and tattoos, and I know a bunch of people who do too and wouldn't care if they saw someone with a piercing or tattoo in Wal-Mart, but there are also lots who would care.

Better safe than sorry. I mean if I was manager of a place I wouldn't want some person complaining and causing havoc just because one of my employees had a facial piercing.

I have only one thing to say, because it's driving me crazy.

"Alot" is not recognized as a word in the English language. What everyone who is using this means to write is "a lot," i.e., two separate words with a space in between.

Thank you.

Oh my I made a booboo!! Please forgive me!

[MajesticCollies]

LOL I was searching for "alot" to see how many times it had been said and then all of a sudden the find next just went crazy on your post. Anyhow, I got a kick out of it.

It is & isn't an excuse. As a mature "adult" its not an excuse, but as a "teen" it is an excuse. I was just like you once upon a time & can still be from time to time.

I use to talk to Bri all the time & was wondering why she wasn't on MSN anylonger.. If you ever need to talk let me know eh.

It's funny how often people complain, for lack of better term, about proper grammar/English/etc. I never knew how bad I was until I started my GED class. I did well, however, I have a lot of room for improvement.

I've always been complimented on my way with words, yet I need a lot of work!

Well, it seems like it's time to sit down and start organizing your life...
I know you're having a lot of things going on in your life right now. That is totally understandable, we all have problems, and yes, they can change our mood and the way we act, but you can't use them as an excuse. If you feel that this is the reason why you're acting rude to other people, then it's up to you to change your attitude. No one can really help you on this.

Good luck, and I hope things start getting better.

I don't agree. There's a reason this forum has age limits. Everyone should treat each other with respect. A load of excuses doesn't make up for rudeness. Had buttercup just said "I'm sorry" that would have been the mature polite thing to do.
RE: piercings etc. I myself don't have a problem with most, however it is an employers right to decide what is or isn't acceptable in their establishment. For better or worse, there are people that would go to a Walmart and see a cashier with a nose ring etc and be repulsed and have a negative "shopping experience". That can't be helped. It's the employers right and obligation to their company to do what's best for the company. That's just life. Fair or not.
Buttercup NEEDS to take a PT break if it's causing her additional distress. By her own admission , no one understands "where she's coming from" here, so what benefit does she get from spending time (which could be spend on homework ) here.

Ok a bit on peicings and tattoos . they are fine but I don't want to see them if i'm dining any where. As a 3rd generation nurses kid I know how easy and how many times Heppitisis (sp) is caught I don't want my food near that. My son in law is a tattoo artist but he can only do the cleaning of his end after people leave the shop it's up to them.
I work in retail and i want all my customers to feel comfortable, so I dress conservitive and clean. just as I want when I'm the customer. I have no objection with what you do on your own time but don't wait on me in blue spiked hair. i walk out of businesses like that and I have no problem letting management know they lost a sale and why.

You're right, though. It's a habit I try to break. I'm a grammar freak lol...

Buttercup, as long as you realize there are problems you can work on for yourself in how you respond to others, then that is a great first step. I don't understand the need to PM anyone with harmful things, it doesn't help, so I don't know why anyone woudl do that...the best thing to do is just ignore those, they aren't gonig to help you or the sender.

There are some days when we ALL come out sounding snippy and we all have many reasons. I hope you are able to work out some of the issues you have personally, and are able to enjoy the board more with a more positive attitude. I have been gulity of being snippy before but I always try to apologize when I do it, and as long as you do that with sincerity, I'm sure most people are more than willing to forgive and get over it.

That really annoys me when people correct other, some people have learning difficulties I'm bad at spelling and grammer and I cant help it, It knocks my confidence to know it bothers people so much

We do try to make allowances for learning difficulties, but sometimes we know it is just a matter of rushing, or not caring - that's what we try to correct.

Don't feel badly, Muddy4paws, we just ask that people honestly try. In the case of students especially, I know that paying more attention to their typing here is good practice for schoolwork later. Forming good communication habits is helpful in almost every career field as well.
