Sixteen-year-old Autumn Williams is still trying to understand how the blonde hair color in her braids was deemed unnatural at her Chick-Fil-A job.

I could see it being maybe a problem since the company sells food, depending on how large a mohawk we're talking. Not like it isn't easy enough to set a height limit just so it still fits in a hairnet.

I know damn well I'm not the only one that would actually be put more at ease if the guy selling me a car or whatever had dark teal liberty spikes and a nose ring. It would make them much more human and personable than "smiling snake in a suit," and therefore I would be more likely to have a favorable opinion of them and maybe buy something.

There's also nothing that says you have to actually spike your hawk up every day for work. As you noted, there are plenty of practical reasons not to when you're working. Most people I've known with substantial hawks only spiked it up in their free time. One guy I knew only did it when he was going to concerts.

It takes a lot of effort to get liberty spikes to set. And then you have to maintain it. I think it's been close to a decade since I last put mine all the way up into spikes. It's just not practical.
