Week 4 EOC: Las Vegas Industry

My take on the situation of attractiveness being a factor when it comes to hospitality is very blunt. In a city like Las Vegas that is the determining factor on whether or not you will get hired or not. You need to appear very well groomed and have well hygiene. In the terms of working in nightclubs and bartenders those are considered sex jobs because they in fact do use your good looks and your figure. In order for you to make more money in that type of job field you definitely depend on tips and honestly, the better you look the more money you are going to make whether you like it or not. That is the reality of it. This is a tourist attraction and you need to be able to represent the company you work for very highly. Tattoos and scars shouldn't get in the way of you being hired or not. Those 2 things do not determine how well you can do your responsibilities at the work place. They are not factors you can necessarily control. For tattoos in some situations you can cover them up and look "professional" when working in areas that require you to not have them showing or you can cover them with makeup. Now personal hygiene is something you can control. That is just simple cleanliness and common sense. Do not come into work if you are not 100% ready to take on the day if you smell like rotten onions. Personal hygiene is something that you can control, whether you want to or not it is a big factor in getting hired not only in a city like Las Vegas but anywhere in general. In my opinion if you do have tattoos it would be totally ok to hire you as long as your hygiene is well and that you are well groomed. Also I do know that in some retail markets they do not allow their employees to have colored hair which in my opinion is very idiotic. Nowadays we are entering a new era, many people want to express themselves how they want to and if an employee comes into work with pink hair and gets fired over it is absurd. As long as the employee has their well kept pink hair (no roots showing) than its completely acceptable. Industries now have to change according to the times. More and more millennials are getting tattoos and coloring their hair unnatural colors and to having risk get fired over their job for just expressing themselves like that is out of line and isn't worth the firing process.
