I like what you said about having an agreement before giving an answer. As parents our first responsibility is to our kids. If one can not make adjustments for their kids what can you do? Some people are too holy for their and their childrens good. There is always something that can be worked out.
I had a parent tell me once something along the lines of 'I will not let me kids be is sports cause of the dress code. They are spending the time that would have been given to sports and using it to study and getting smarter so they can get a great job and suppot me.' They were partly kidding, but I rebutted that it doesn't matter how book smart a kid is if they don't take care of their body which houses their brain then they have little chance. It does little good to have a great brain that you can use for 40 years when you could have had a great brain you could use for 80 years.

And let's face it...at a job interview, if the body is big and bloated, this can convey greed and laziness. Or if the body looks unhealthy, this can convey a person needing to access Healthcare benefits.
