London Free Press – Local News- Server laid off after shaving head for cancer charity

When she took part in a local fundraiser for cancer research, all Stacey Fearnall thought she had to lose was a full head of hair.

Instead, the 36-year-old server at Nathaniels restaurant in Owen Sound who raised more than $2,700 for the charity Cops for Cancer in exchange for her locks, was laid off when she showed up for work earlier this week with a shorn head.

“She had been a little nervous all day long, but I think she was still hoping in her heart that she’d walk in there and they’d be like, ‘Oh, wow — you look great,’ ” Fearnall’s husband John said in an interview yesterday.

“But that’s not the reaction she got.”

The mother of two, who was told by her boss to go home after she refused to wear a wig, was in tears when she returned home Tuesday just a half hour into her shift.

    >>If he wants his female staff to dress as 1785
    >>wenches and the male staff as servants
    >>complete with powdered wigs then so be it.

    Yeah, if he did, then so be it.

    In this case though, the guy’s just a dickwad. He never said anything about all his waitresses needing to look like Rapunzel. He just decided on the spur of the moment that he didn’t like the philanthropist lady’s shaved head, and decided to shit-can her.

    “The restaurant owners said they told Fearnall well in advance they wouldn’t be pleased if she participated in the fundraiser and suggested she could have found other ways to support the cause.”

    Uh, donate money? For research? I guess you don’t know too much about charity, do you Bozo?

  7. green says:

    Lots of good that research money has done. Keep giving away your money like a good lil’ sheep and those working for charities will keep eating from the trough.

    Don’t forget to pickup your ribbon/sticker/cookie at the door…

    What would you suggest as a strategy to treat diseases like cancer, Bozo? Prayer?

  9. #28 – As a cancer survivor, I’m not at all interested in treatment – truly hell on earth, if there was ever such a thing. We will shortly see a vaccination against cancer which is a much better alternative.
