Shutdown Specials and Furlough Freebies
In Raleigh, businesses are stepping in to help out federal workers as the longest government shutdown in history continues. From meals to coffee, the list is growing of businesses offering support and of course Bishops is offering free haircuts.
ABC 11 spoke with Traci Frederick, Assistant Manager of Bishops Cuts/Color located in the Dillon in Raleigh.
“We sympathize absolutely. We’re just trying to give back, we definitely are an up and growing business so we want to help out any way we can, just to let the community know we’re here for them.”
In fact, ALL of the Bishops gender neutral hair salons across the country are offering free haircuts to furloughed employees.
“We’re trying to help,” Frederick said. “A haircut is a small price to pay just for not going weeks without pay at all.”
All federal employees need to do is show a valid ID.
