Why couldn't she just wear a wig?

Also, does that mean she would be sacked if she
really had cancer?

Actually, as I understand it, her intentions were to create awareness for the cause by wearing her hair shorn. A wig would have defeated the purpose.
Bottom line is that the restaurant weighed the benefits of her cause (Cops with Cancer, I think) against their own irritation at something “odd” and the Cops lost out.
So, we know what kind of people are involved in that restaurant. The waitress’s only real error was under-estimating the selfishness of that kind of person.
She's a bit wiser now, I suspect. And, I hope, the selfish snobs at Nathaniel’s are a bit poorer.
I’m sure most of us here have had dealings with that type of person ourselves.
