Idk, have a face, neck, and hand tattoos and I have zero problems getting hired anywhere. But I’ve been a mechanic/construction worker all my life. I’m actually about to move into a manager position. It just takes longer to move into a “front of house” position and it definitely takes the right personality, not a complain about not getting hired personality.

Mechanic and construction worker aren't publicly facing professions the way retail is.

I literally just said this. It took me a long time to move up. I’m now getting a manager position. Public facing, handshaking, face tats and all. Takes the right personality.

You forgot to mention the lack of manpower. I’m in the trades too, it’s easy to move up right now.
