Working Sux

I'm pissed at my job right now. They're trying to "enforce dresscode" by making us cover up tattoos and take out facial piercings. This is the same company who hired me with these things and did not tell me at all that this would be a problem and ensured several other people that it wouldn't be a problem. But they sent "secret shoppers" through the store and then when they complained about our piercings and tattoos it became a problem. I have never gotten a complaint about my nose piercings or my tattoos. If anything, I get compliments on them. I've been asked what my tattoo on my forearm means, and asked where I got it. The people I've helped out at the front desk have said they liked me, with no mention of my piercings or tattoos. There's even an older woman who only ever wants me to help her. I just find it so strange that we are taking the word of random people you sent through to snitch over the people who come in the doors everyday. The worst part is that I have to comply by the 21st of this month, and this is becoming a huge issue for no reason, when no one had officially told anyone at the front desk anything. All I heard was gossip through the grapevine. I just think it's absolutely ridiculous because I have two facial piercings, only two! It literally doesn't impact my job at all. And I'm not able to fight against it, because I need this job while I'm still in college. One of the higher ups, who has a fucking monroe piercing, said that she would not be taking out her piercing. Like oh, okay. So it's professional to have a fucking facial dermal piercing when you're high up, but my coworker who has one septum is actually super super unprofessional? Because that makes sense. Also, is that all of the critiques that these secret shoppers had? Was there just so few things to complain about that all they had left were our piercings and tattoos? Why are we not focusing on that at all, and just complaining! Like that's a good thing! I'm just going to suck it up while I'm stuck here, and I'm going to try and start doing some volunteer work with environmental professionals here so that I can get some experience in my preferred job. I want to do something meaningful that isn't just overpriced subscriptions to a place that won't let me have a septum and a nostril piercing and a flower tattoo. I really think I'll just have to keep my head down for now and suck it up, as much as I don't want to. I just have to get through this.
