Uniform & Grooming Updates:
Boardwalk policies remain strict, with a few updates:
One small nose stud or small side nose ring allowed
✘ No septum or additional facial piercings
Tattoos must be family-friendly and not on face or head

Fingernails, jewelry, flash eyelashes, etc. should be conservative as anything in excess is NOT safe for foodservice.

Weekday shifts increase as Spring Break arrive and, of course, as the summer season ramps up.
