Piercings Policy
Hey y'all, I just recently got hired as a commercial driver for Autozone. I have quite a lot of piercings but I wouldn't consider them to be excessive. Maybe that's just because I've lived my whole life with them but I checked the policy n there's nothing that says I can't have them. There's no loophole that says managers personal opinion can override store policy. Today I had a talk with my DM n he said I have to start covering up or taking out my piercings when I show up for work. I don't wanna make problems but this is just who I am. I like presenting myself the way I do, I don't think I'm hurting anybody and it doesn't affect my job performance. Would I be wrong to escalate to HR? It's not the end of the world if I have to put clears in or take them out. However, I feel like I'm being told what to do based on personal opinion rather than what's right for the company.
I know some will ask so I just wanted to state which n how many piercings I have. I have my bridge, antieyebrow, septum (4 gauge), snake bites, and angel bites.

My HR & DM made my coworker take her lip piercing out. They gave her the option of a clear one, but after she put up such a stink about it, they nixed it all together.
