I like to go to restaurants where the staff has a lot of piercings and tattoos because it’s a great way to teach my kids a lesson.

I make it clear to them that if they pollute their body with piercings and tattoos, then low-paying service industry jobs will be the only opportunity available to them in life.

I plan on taking my 13-year-old to Old Major for his birthday so he knows where he will end up if doesn’t shave or exercise.

Do you care if your server at Old Major — or any other restaurant — has tattoos and/or piercings. Post your thoughts below, or join the conversation on pierced/tattooed servers already under way here.
