20-year-old Scott Laplanche, a male shop worker at Currys PC World, West Yorkshire, says that he was asked to remove his make-up at work, and believes the request was discriminatory given that his female colleagues “wear more make-up than he does.”
英國西約克郡Currys PC World商場的20歲男店員史考特．拉普蘭奇表示，他被要求上班時必須卸妝，女性同事卻可以「化比他還濃的妝」，認定這種要求涉嫌歧視。
“I’ve worked in the shop for 8 or 9 months and have never been reprimanded on my makeup before. Actually quite the opposite, some managers have supported me and complimented my makeup.” Maddened Laplanche shared his disdain on Facebook.
滿肚子氣的拉普蘭奇在「臉書」分享他的不屑：「我已經在這家店工作8或9個月，從來沒因為化妝受到訓斥。事實上完全相反，有些幹部相當支持我，還稱讚我的妝容。」
“However recently we’ve had to go under new management. Earlier on in the week I came to work as my fabulous self and was told to take off my makeup. I was quite shocked… After I refused, I’m getting told to tone it down. Excuse me? I felt this was discriminatory.”
「然而，最近我們有了新規定。這週前幾天，我容光煥發地去上班，卻被告知必須卸妝，我整個嚇傻…在我拒絕後，又被要求不要小題大作。有沒有搞錯啊？我覺得這根本就是歧視。」
“This is 2017, a time of year where we celebrate ’Pride’ throughout summer and I look hella hot so deal with it! It’s wrong to blatantly discriminate for whatever reason that may be.” he added.
他又說：「現在都2017年了，整個夏天我們都在歌頌『彩虹驕傲』，而且我根本超正，接受吧！不管出於什麼理由，公然歧視就是不對。」
A spokesman of the mall clarified： “This was a local store level misunderstanding that is being dealt with internally.”
商場發言人澄清：「這是地方分店的一樁誤會，內部正在處理中。」
