Worker claims they were sacked from Garden Centre for 'refusing to cover up pink hair'
Staffordshire Live reported.Avery, who is studying horticulture at college in Rodbaston, Penkridge, claims they were told they needed to keep their hair covered and could wear a cap instead of the woolly beanie hat they had, but when Avery refused it would lead to them being fired.The 27-year-old claimed they were fired from Planters at Bretby, in Bretby Lane, after dying their hair "a light subtle pink" which they thought would have been acceptable.Avery, who said they loved the job and were good with customers and had a passion for plants, claimed: "When I went for my interview, my hair was a light peachy colour. Then it was a grey, silver colour."They said that I would have to change it, and I was like 'yeah sure.' Eventually, I shaved it off."I struggle with self-care and looking after myself.
