Miss Manners: How can I make them stop being rude about my employee’s hair?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:52 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am the manager of a gift store where my clientele mostly ranges from 40 to 70 years old. I have an employee in her early 20s who is sweet, super helpful and professionally courteous — everything you’d want in a worker.She has her own unique style, and changes her hair with fun colors or highlights; right now it’s a very pretty shade of light green.Several customers have made inappropriate comments to her about it, including laughing. One woman pointed at my employee, saying to her daughter, “See? I told you she had green hair. Isn’t that nuts?”My employee takes it in stride, smiling through it all, but I feel terrible. I’ve wanted to say something to these customers, but I don’t want to lose their business. Nor can I afford to lose my employee.I’m not sure what I can say to get them to stop being so rude to a human being in public.Related ArticlesAdvice | Miss Manners: Should I call people to expla...

EU legislators have been unable to agree on a shared deposit insurance system to back up national cash pots. As a compromise, eurozone finance ministers have called on the Commission to propose measures that will close loopholes in bank crisis management and deposit insurance (CMDI).“The Commission will do it in the second quarter of this year,” the Italian said after the proposal had disappeared from the legislative agenda ...
