Ugliness

There's a diner that I go to quite regularly. Besides the good food I enjoy the relxed atmosphere and the fact that most of the folks that work there are pretty nice people. When I go to places to eat I want to feel comfortable and having friendly, pleasant folks around you certainly helps. It also helps if they are easy on the eye and by that I don't mean good looking necessarily just nothing that jars.

Well, that went out the window today because they have hired a young waitress covered in tattoos. Ugh! I know, each to their own but this put me off my food. As I paid my bill I asked who does the hiring. I really felt like saying to the manageress that she might want to take into consideration how appearance can adversly affect cutomer satisfaction.

Why is there so much ugliness out there. All in the cause of being allowed 'to express oneself'. Good lord, what about the fact that we have to endure scruffy, uncouth, loud, rude and now self-inflicted ugliness?

Where did taste get lost?
