Starbucks Just Banned Engagement Rings And It Spawned A #BoycottStarbucks Hashtag

Colored hair is also banned in their new dress code, but tattoos and small piercings are OK.


"There are food safety rules we have to live by," it says in the new dress code, which does not explicitly mention engagement rings. "Here's the fine print — wearing a ring is okay if it's a plain band, no stones. Unfortunately, no watches, bracelets or wristbands are allowed. Simple necklaces can be worn under your clothes."


Baristas can also not have tattoos on their neck or face (but anywhere else is OK), painted fingernails, or brightly colored hair — hair must "look natural."

"Starbucks' new jewelry guidelines are based on the FDA Model Food Code that state and local jurisdictions follow," a Starbucks spokesperson said.


The company is hoping to offer double their food options, hence the new guidelines, the spokesperson said, emphasizing that wedding bands without stones are still allowed.


Along with tattoos, small piercings are also allowed, but the company wants employees to take a "less is more" approach.


"We want customers to focus on you, not your body art," the guide reads. "Tattoos are allowed, but not on your face or throat."
