Or not make as much because of it. These people are qualified as much as or more thann other people as far as their abilities are concerned, but just look a way that might cause your customers not to do buisness with you due to their fears, and predjudices. My questions like this keep getting deleted for somereason. I'm not sure why, I think the people that do it just either miss understand what I'm trying to get at, or they are all for supporting customers predjucices.

Some court decisions have leaned toward the employer's needs in these cases. Where the appearance of an employee can reasonably be expected to be acceptable to the general public, the clientele, an employer has the right to decide on an applicant's appearance and whether it might or might not be acceptable to the businesses customers.
In reality, everyone is to a large degree hired or not on the basis of appearance and the manner in which they answer questions during the interview, where there is one. So, this also supports what some of the courts have said.

Yes, I think it's okay and most companies will do something similar. If you have a position open as a waiter at an upscale restaurant, even if the guy with 80 tattoos and 80 piercings can serve really well, it's not going to be good for business to have such a person serving food. It doesn't go with the rest of the company. At a piercing parlor, that's completely expected. The company has every right to hire someone that fits in their culture and gets along with the others.

The customer is the number one reason why a business succeeds or fails. Employees need to reflect the customer. For example, if you run a tattoo shop you might hire someone with lots of tattoos but if you are running a book store that same person is probably not the one you want to hire.

It is illegal in most cases. You can only not hire someone because their abilities are not a match for your requirements.
You are not allowed to discriminate because of age, sex, religion, race, marital status etc. If you do and they are aware of the fact, they can sue you! Get a good lawyer before you make such decisions
Anyway, will you be able to prove in a court of law that you did not hire a person because they will cause you to lose money. Do you have substantial evidence to prove that?

You should have gave a example of how the person looked but anyhow isn't that a form of discrimation?
