In another example of the PC police gone wrong, a Pennsylvania men’s barbershop has been fined $750 for… only cutting men’s hair?
Barbiere advertises itself as a high-end gentlemen’s barbershop and offers complimentary beers and spirits. The barbershop was recently fined by the state’s Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs for gender discrimination.
Owner John Interval tells the (Washington) Observer-Reporter (http://bit.ly/1PZ8SOq ) the fine “infringes” on his shop’s environment. Interval says, “Guys come here as a kind of a little getaway, to be around other guys.”
A female customer had booked hair appointments online for herself and her boyfriend. She asked for a short haircut known as a wave but was turned away.
Interval says his staff recommended other shops and even offered to pay for a haircut at someplace else to compensate for the inconvenience.

I am very worried about America. Only some people are allowed to have freedom. Think about the clerk in Kentucky who refused to sell a marriage license to a couple. I am sure they could find a clerk that would. If I don’t get my way I’ll sue. Americans are pretty spoiled and demanding if they don’t get there way. American citizens today expect a great deal more than they did 30 years ago. I’m sorry I think they were better off back then. It seems to their way or no way. Colleen.
If I was forced to do a job that was not in my line of work, the results would be very disappointing.
Buyer beware. You will get what you asked for!
