Multiple answers.
1. No, I wouldn't remove piercings, any more than I would shave my head, or any more than I would remove my clothing because it had been out on the public streets. Since diners don't remove their piercings before eating, it means they actually aren't concerned at all about my piercings. The health inspectors need to learn what is, and isn't, sanitary or unsanitary.
2. Yes, I would remove my piercings, or cover them with a Band-Aid if they were too new to be removed. I'd also wear a hairnet, or change into a work uniform. I also wouldn't sweat it if told to remove them. When I was hired, I knew what the job required, and if I didn't like it, I could seek employment elsewhere. Times are tough. We do what the employer requires unless it violates our legal rights or moral code.

I refuse to remove my earrings for anyone other than a dentist or doctor for reasons such as x-rays. I woulda personally told subway off, cause my earrings, I believe, are a part of me, a part of my character. Having earrings isn't a hazard or at all unsafe, unless you're using cheap dangly or huge ones that would actually interfere with such work. At a fast food restaurant, I could imagine them requesting to keep a lip ring out, or something a little less common, but earrings, no. I have 6 total(4 & 2), btw. not sure if I want more yet.

Earrings have a distinct cleaning ritual behind their upkeep; claiming they are a bacterial health hazard simply because a person has a few extra fails logically. Why ban 5/6 when you can ban 6/6? This is very difficult to compute.
When I was in my junior year of high school, I suddenly became aware that my appearance (at the time and times past) was a bit shocking and unprofessional, so I chose to clean it up - a LOT. I chose to outwardly "grow up" perse, in the way I dressed, accessorized and carried myself. I grew out my hair, let it keep a more natural color, and wore longer skirts/pants/shorts and less leather, metal studs/spikes, and less black makeup. Did I sell out? No... I realized something. By buying all those clothes to "make a statement" I was already selling out. Also, this was back before all the kids got into wearing a pyramid studded belt with blue jeans and a girly top (and when they did, I used to become so enraged by the little wannabes/posers...).
I worked at Subway for a year without a problem. I wasn't allowed to wear a ring with a gem unless it was around my neck, and I had no piercings to worry about.
Now, despite having applied to scores of open positions, some of which are for companies with whom I already have experience, I am still incapable of acquiring a job. I would be so happy to work for Subway again. Even Burger King.
Your point on the irony of each of the jobs you have is intriguing, however. I suppose they have had many personalities work for them, and are a lot more open-minded and acceptable of things that are, nowadays and in most cases more widely accepted. Still, I fail to see how an earring is so hazardous to your health.
How have the jobs been going lately, and changes (if any) have you seen in regards to attitudes toward multiple earrings? How do your coworkers feel about the situation?
