I was told by an employee they can't have a beard. What gives them the right to dictate personal appearance?

Hah, my mental picture of a lumber worker is a large beard and a flannel.

Yeah, I applied there for IT about 4 years ago, they told me you have to be clean shaven (moustache only down to the corners of your lips) and it's a mandatory 9 or 10 hour day that you only get paid for 8. I noped right the fuck out of that shit.

I bet we talked to the same guy. Offered me pennies for a 'competitive' position.

They used to allow absolutely no facial hair (other than a mustache). They changed the policy maybe 5 years ago to allow short facial hair. I believe the argument is for food safety.

They also used to not allow ANY visible tattoos. If I'm not mistaken, they now allow them as long as they're not on their face or hands.
