SO OVER!

I'm the kind of hipster who likes to wear the ironic hijab. Would that be ok?

Isn't the whole beard thing a mid-20s thing and not just a hipster thing. Pretty much the only time I come in contact with that demographic is in the weight room at the gym -- an easy 80% of guys in that age range have some sort of bushy beard or chin strap (usually coupled with some sort of MMA advertising shirt).

Finally, they can put their Liberal Arts degree to use.

Hipsters don't rejoice.

As a former Disneyland worker... I wish they had done this in 2010. :(

I has a sad, I hate being clean shaven. Its ok, though. Working at Disney was one of the worst jobs ever. Srsly.

Ever work in a place where you are fed propaganda, constantly?

I said, jokingly, that Walt Disney was a hack... You would have thought I shiat on Jesus Christ himself in the middle of a church revival. They want you to practically worship the man there.

But at least you can worship Walty with a beard now...

Yeah, but there is a long waiting list for the positions of "Doc" and "Princess Jasmine's Dad."

I play an ironic lumberjack at a Disney theme park so I am getting a kick out of these replies.

The other day I saw this man walking down the street and I was unable to categorize him. I found it very unsettling. Who does this guy think he is not conforming to one of the social groups? Have any of you ever seen or known anyone like this? It scares the hell out of you.

Do they still make you go to school to learn how to smile? Do they still make you call yourself a "cast member" instead of an "employee?"

Because those are the other two reasons I told them to fark off when their recruiter called me and asked me if I was interested in working there.

Neckbeards too?

piss-poor facial hair does seem to be a trademark of teen-bean and young 20s males that wish ever so hard to resemble real grown-ups.
and some day they will be old and grey, hopefully filled with life experience, wisdom and maturity, and they will know most people under 35 don't have a damn thing to say worth listening to.

"It's also introducing casual Fridays for employees who don't interact with customers. So, you know, if they want to, they can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans."

I thought Hawaiian shirt and jeans was the official uniform at WEDA.

I don't understand the desire to look like a homeless lumberjack.
/off to drink more coffee with other nonconformists.

FirstNationalBastard: Diogenes: Oh, I'm sure they'll make sure facial hair is well-groomed.

The big supermarket in FL, Publix, doesn't allow guys to wear earrings. Guys with gauges have to wear band-aids over the holes.

As long as women can't wear earrings, either, that's no problem.

/equal enforcement for hair and jewelry standards or fark you.

Better comparisons would be Asian foot-binding, or African neck rings.

How can a beard be ironic? On a woman maybe, but on a man it is as natural as air.

Not the management, no way in hell. I'm talking about your average cast member. You know, your co-workers. People that got hired around the same time as you. Freaking the fark out when you even joke about him.

Its a cult. Plain and simple.

It seems that every other generation (or there about) indulges in a style that goes beyond the normal generational marker, the style that most former wearers are mortified to admit having once worn later in life. Leisure suits, open shirts, and gold chains for example or the powder blue suit.

I fully expect the "too damn lazy to trim it" hipster beard is one of them.

/in the back of their minds I wonder if their girlfriends ever speculate that kissing is like the business end of being a lesbian in the 70's

Whomever subby is I want to shake their hand, Great headline.
Goatees included!

wait a second, you mean they don't have people with facial hair?




next thing you'll tell me is that they are expensive! Where am I supposed to take my future kids?

Woah woah woah woah, since when do hipsters smoke parliments?

There's a subcategory for hipsters who do not smoke Parliaments. I know, I get confused myself. Parliaments are my brand of choice, but I can't smoke them because I'm worried people will think I'm trying to be a hipster.

If you DON'T have a beard at Disney, you might be dopey.

One of us. One of us.Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble!

Hipsters rejoice: misusing hipster in your headline still gets you an auto-greenlight.

Yeah, it was culty. (And mostly from the new hires... though many of the culty-types didn't make it long.) And there are plenty of things to loathe.

But they are a fantastically run operation and no better customer service training exists in the world. To this day, I cringe when I see front-line / customer-interaction employees making stupid, easily addressed mistakes, and am constantly reminded of how well-oiled the Disney machine is. Or, was, at least, back in the day. Haven't been back in < thinks > holy shiat, not going to think about that any more.

But if I still lived nearby and they paid real salaries instead of summer-job hourlies, I could see begging for my old job. I sometimes miss the 1800-0230 balloon shift, among others.

Beards are so over it;s all about the mutton chops.

Absolutely true. And it still was while I worked it a few years during college.

As best I can figure out, the good service is because those parks balance sheer numbers (making sure no ONE person who might be having a bad day is the ONLY solution) plus they didn't skimp on side perks.

Even without joining the cult, free food/drinks backstage, chilling at the resorts as "atmosphere performers" and getting on rides whenever you want made me and the roommates smiley, no matter how catty visitors would get.

/drank the powerade
//mmm

dj_spanmaster: ...but it WILL put you inside one of those costumes, or working down in the service tunnels.

Hey, the service tunnels are cool, literally. If I had a beard, I'd work down there and be less sweaty.

The costumes are hot. As in, they make you want to rip them off and do inappropriate things to people.

I never had a beard when I was a lumberjack . Isn't that ironic ?

Diogenes: Guys with gauges have to wear band-aids over the holes.

Why would someone who works at a supermarket need to carry around a gauge?



That is a gauge. A caliper to be exact but a type of gauge. A gauge is used to measure, and has nothing to do with a dress code.

Now if you're referring to their ears, then just call them what they are, stretched lobes with either tunnels or plugs filling the holes.
