Is It Fair To Be Fired For A Tattoo?

A barista at a Starbucks in Michigan is being told that she has 30 days to begin the removal process on a tattoo on her hand, or her job with the company will be over.  The heart tattoo, that's about the size of a quarter, has been on her hand the entire time she's been employed at the Starbucks over the last 5 years.

She says she doesn't remember a tattoo policy being discussed, but the company notes that it's been consistent and states that there to be no visible tattoos.  It's a standard part of the dress code.

She says she doesn’t understand why they’re making such a big deal out of it since it's just "a little heart" and nothing offensive.  The company stands by their policy.
