The past four interviews I've gone to have gone like this;

"hi I'm morgan! I'm here to interview with ______!"
"okay I'll go get them."
*interviewer comes over and says*
1) "got a lot of tattoos huh?"
2) "oh those tattoos are going to be a problem"
3) "we actually don't allow tattoos at this job"

The fact that they blatantly tell me it's my tattoos is disgusting. And they assume I'm unintelligent. I interviewed at a salon product distribution store and the woman was like "oh we'll you don't have a whole lot of experience with setting up displays" and I was like "oh you mean planograms? Yeah I used to do those at CVS, where I worked for five years and ran the entire makeup department"

It's plain ignorance.
Thanks for this!
