Zukiswa Hlathini (@zukiswa_hlathini) shared the process of removing her nails and lash extensions as she couldn't return to her waitressing job with them due to the work policy.

"Guys, azikagqibi neveki (Guys, I haven't even had them for a week)," the poor woman cried.

According to the City of Jefferson Division of Environmental Health Services, employees in the food and hospitality industry must trim, file, and maintain their fingernails so the edges and surfaces are clean and not rough.

Unless wearing intact gloves in good repair, a food employee may not wear fingernail polish or artificial nails when working with exposed food.
