The Wonderful Mother
“One of the first jobs my Wonderful Mother had was in the retail industry.
Most retail brands will ask you to wear clothing similar to the style being sold, dress fashionably, and so on. This one went a step further. They asked all their female employees to wear makeup.
My mother wasn’t one to wear makeup at that point in her life. She found it a waste of time and money, and she did fine with the job and was actually later promoted for working well.
Well, the upper management thought that her hard work was less important than the fact that she didn’t wear makeup. They directly came to her and requested that she wear makeup.
She refused, but they kept asking. Finally, they stipulated that if she would wear AT LEAST mascara then they would stop with the harassment. She agreed. The next day my Wonderful Mother walked in wearing her brand new…. clear mascara. She very proudly wore it every day after that and the management couldn’t say a thing, as she was indeed wearing mascara.” – Reddit user UnpopularRight
This mother found a loophole in the rules of wearing mascara at work and the “proudly wore it ever day” part had us in tears!
