When Taelor Beeck started working at the Zombie Burger restaurant in Des Moines, she probably knew that she would run into some unpleasant customers. But she couldn't have expected that her appearance would be scrutinized and judged — so much so that some customers thought it would affect the quality of service that she offered. Taelor is proud of her pink hair, and considers it just another way she expresses her personality — but one of her customers didn't see it this way.
Taelor was shocked and dismayed when she picked up the bill from a patron: the note that person wrote to her made her feel bullied, like she was "back in middle school all over again."
The note read, "Tips are only for normal-looking people."
The bill was only a total of $17.60, and the patron was willing to give a few cents to Taelor for her work — after all, this is how she makes a living.
The waitress considered confronting the patron about it, because she didn't want to respond in the same hateful way. But the burger joint has shown its full support for Taelor in a statement, saying that she is a great member of their team — with or without pink hair.
