That's not interesting at all. Requiring employees to wear hair nets goes to food safety and product quality. Disallowing text messaging goes to productivity. Telling Mexican employees that they can't go by their own names goes to racism. (Your cute hypothetical about a French restaurant makes no sense -- if any French restaurants do this, it would clearly be a matter of creating a certain ambience than assuaging one guy's discomfort with Latinos.)
I knew I shouldn't have left the comments open on this post. I'll be rectifying that now.

Yeah. Requiring hair nets in a food preparation area is the same as requiring Mexicans to go by different names.
Please.

Do ya get it yet?
