Beard Net

CC and I were eating out today, and we noticed that one of the guys cooking our food had long, shaggy hair and a long, shaggy beard.  His hair was pulled back under a bandana to keep it off the food, and his beard was stuffed into a beard net.  That’s right, a hair net for your beard.

I get the point of this, but it looked absolutely ridiculous.  I suppose the alternative is that men with beards shouldn’t be in the food-preparation industry.  But I guess you can’t discriminate against them, although I have never heard of beard discrimination, so the only alternative is to ask them to wear a net.  It just seems odd.  I understand it for your hair, but I really don’t think I lose any hair from my beard unless I pull it out myself.
