So I had to pay for my own background check, get a haircut, and shave my beard, and I get to the training class where they told me that the job I was offered was canceled and that I could take a position in Gaffney, third shift, for the same money and fewer hours. I politely told the Ops Manager that it wasn't worth it and I came home. An hour drive late at night, only two nights a week, for what they were offering, was not worth it.
FFS! My wife wouldn't even kiss me last night becauae she said I looked weird.

They should refund you for all that! Even for the kiss, they should kiss you.

I had to look up " FFS ." Is this why your wife wouldn't kiss you?

If I pay for it, I get to decide what's actually in it.
Seems fair to me.

I had to do this once for a job that turned out to be a cleverly disguised pyramid scheme.

Had to shave my beard for a job interview as well. Didn't get it, but was sadder I had to shave

My wife's exact words were, "You shaved off your awesomeness."
She also said she wasn't going to believe a word I said until I grew the beard back. So I get her making fun of me for two weeks until it's at a sufficiently fuzzy stage.

I may go up there tomorrow and tell the ops manager, "Well, Chuck, you owe me $25 for the background check and a kiss because my wife hates my chin."

It is. Apparently if I had taken the jerb they were going to refund it on my first paycheck. Still bullshit.

Its probably the beard they wanted. I had to pay for my own background check which is stupid I got the job but its stupid because they already know I am broke and need a job so why make me pay to get one?

Yeah. The rules said, "No facial hair except sideburns no longer than the bottom of the ear and a moustache no wider than the corners of the mouth."

Where you trying to get a job in the Military? I mean those are the standards I have to adhere to, but that's insane.

Nope. Independent security contractor that did site security for a bunch of different industrial plants. Basically the guys who ride around in Rangers, Avengers or Escapes and check the lots, or sit in the booth at the gate.

I just got past fuzzy stage. It was probably a 8 month beard when I shaved it. A little out of control

Alright, then I guess the standards make sense. Still, fuck those guys for making you do all that shit.
