Have to say im torn!
The bigger part of me says she's just as capable of doing a job as the next person, however I will admit a small part of me would do a double take if I walked into a smart office environment and she was there.

What 'should be' the case is often not the case.
Seems to me that she was upset by being faced with a truth. It's sad, but better than being lied to.
Still, nothing is for sure: maybe someone will decide deliberate spoiling of looks is not a factor to be taken into consideration, nor the mental ability that might imply, and offer a position.

I wouldn't give her a job because she obviously isn't intelligent to work out that what may receive approval from her peer group may pizz off a potential employer who come from a social stratum that does not find them attractive. People like to employ people with whom they think there may be some social congruency. If you dress or adorn yourself in a way that says 'I despise your social class and i don't give fcuk for you values' then jobs may be hard to come by.
I personally probably would employ her, because I like people who are a bit different, I think it generally shows they're not sheep and can think for themselves- but I think it was unfortunate that she got upset, as if you go to most people looking for a job and you have tattoos and piercings then a lot of people will always go with the weirdo stereotype- she ought to be aware of that and i think the probably slightly tactless guy in the job centre was just trying to point that out to her. Personally I'd employ her to deal with the public, because everyone is entitled to be taken for who they are and stereotypes remain that until they are challenged.
I sympathise, Nox, but I don't think people who come to my (imaginary) shop/office are looking for a challenge. If I'm at the service of customers, my staff have to conform to their expectations, not the other way round.
It depends, though; if it was an art gallery or rock promoter or something like that it mightn't matter. But even there it'd be because I was expecting her piercings to fit in rather than pose a challenge.

People like this make me really cross - you can't expect to stand out (with the tattoos and piercings) and fit it at the same time. Then to take her mother to the interview with her (she's 23 - hardly a teenager) - next she'll be contacting some lawyers trying to get compensation for her 'hurt feelings'.
an afterthought to my previous posting...If somebody makes themselves unemployable by dressing outrageously or making themselves look like a moronic phallus does the taxpayer still have to fund their lack of employability or is there some way that their situation can be explained to them (without of course hurting their feelings)
