Hooters' waitress sued company for being told that she is fat

[Msmith]

Controversy surrounding Cassandra Smith, a 20 year old Hooters employee, is gaining momentum among civil rights activists after she was told by her employer that she ought to lose weight otherwise face termination.

According to Hooters of America, the corporate company, in an official statement, “the company does uphold image standards from the more than 17,000 Hooters girls currently serving in the more than 455 restaurants around the world.” Hooters went on to say that the employee has been “counseled about [her] weight," even going so far as to offer Cassandra Smith a free gym membership.

A free gym membership. Not bad.

In a video statement, Cassandra Smith commented that she was told that her uniform was “not properly fitting anymore” (italics are mine). A seemingly callow remark implying that her uniform did fit at one point in her career as a Hooters waitress. To me, when a uniform, bridal gown, prom dress, business suit -- clothes -- no longer fit, it is a clear indication that you are putting on weight.

Cassandra Smith does not have a valid case. Ms. Smith is free to work anywhere else in this great country of freedom and choice, assuming her new employer does not have “standards.” As I’ve said before, if one willingly applies to work at an establishment where image is among the top requirements, then the applicant does indeed have an obligation to uphold that deal; handshake or contract. Cassandra Smith appears to be squatting on the “acceptance bandwagon” and might very well gain support from others who myopically interpret this as an unjust social rights violation.

I applaud Hooters; not only are they preventing Cassandra Smith from rolling down a hill headed towards obesity at an early age, but they are upholding their own corporate standards as being “delightfully tacky yet unrefined...”

Nobody wants that, it's not good for anybody involved.

What's next, ugly people suing model agencies for not hiring them? If you want to work for Hooters (ugh), don't get fat. Pretty easy.

[Sofa King]

Looked good before, after not so much...


She is no longer able to carry out her job in the manner in which they hired her... move on...

no real story here...

JFC. Tell the bitch to lose some weight. I should sue her for going out in public wearing skimpy clothing, because it's gross on fat girls!

[Bob Dole]

Apparently, their "standard" varies from community to community. Chubbo Smith would be welcomed by the management here.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Damn that chicks only 20?

Maybe 20 guys a night...

[HoneyBadger]

Hooters is doing her a favor and telling her that she is getting fat.

[gblowfish]

If weight and appearance is part of the original hiring conditions, then she has no case. I'm sure Hooters has some sort of agreement with Hooters girls about what meets their job requirements.

If she was a cashier, this would be an issue. As a Hooters Girl, its on her.

[HemiEd]

She needs to lay off the dark meat, stick with the wings.

[King_Chief_Fan]

If they are finding a way around it in the recruitment process, they ought to be able to maintain the criteria after selection is made. All she has to do is serve the wings....not eat them.

Solid point. Is the 'standard' a true stardard. While a gal in X state may be equally exploitable in any state, the propensity for the talent pool from which they've extracted her may not.

Frivolous lawsuit, in my (female appreciating and admiring) opinion. The job entails a particular parameter, one I'm sure the hiring legal team has drummed out, in their corporate ways.

Race car drivers tend not to have debilitating reaction times, nor hockey goalies. Airline pilots need good vision. Girls who extract above average tips based on the shape and volume of their ass are judged on the shape and volume of their ass.

The caveat being, did they offer her another job within that was equivalent but different? Were they obligated?

She's an entertainer. Deal w/ it. I don't ever go to Hooters because their food sucks so bad, but when I did, it wasn't for the over priced food, it was for the atmosphere.

it was for the atmosphere.

And the attitude. Don't forget that.

[Stevie.Wonder]

I have to say I'd be a bit disappointed. I'd walk in for fun and food, and leave feeling sad for the woman. I'd tip her well, but I'd do it out of pity. The net result being I'd never go back to Hooters because (A) the food probably sucked and (B) the 'good times' and fun flirting with the comely waitress would amount to feeling back for the beat-up lady obviously working a job she hates simply for the money.


I'm above all an empathethic man, which is why I've been to Hooters once in my life. I see through the noise. But, I also like to have fun and know that comely young gals reap huge rewards for serving dinner wearing more than they do at the beach. It's a service, like making O-rings or welding, or telling me which wax ring I need for X-toilet.

If you don't fulfill the role, it's not discrimination, it's incompetance. Whether it be mental or physical. In this case, it's apparently physical. Companies do need to protect their investment in order to procure a clientel.

And the attitude. Don't forget that.

People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, okay? They come to Hooter's for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the flair's about. It's about fun. Look, Hooter's wanted her to express yourself. Okay? Now, if you feel that the bare minumum and being fat is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and eat less and we encourage that. Okay? You do wanna express yourself, don't you?"

to the defense: imagine hearing this bullshit? You'd like to punch the guy, right? I imagine it's much worse.

Eh. I imagine the orientation program spelled it all out. She knew exactly wtf she was in for. Unless the manager was inappropriate (grabbing, touching, words, etc), she doesn't have an (apparantly increasing girth) of a leg to stand on.

She was hired to be a babe. She lost it. A pilot that losing his bearings is similarly SOL, imo.

I don't go to hooters much,theres several places around my house and in downtown STL that have much better service and just as good of a "view" so it's no big deal to me.I do however agree that in that type of place the girls should be hot,but not everyone is gonna think all the girls are hot.I was just curious about that line between honesty and cruelty,thats all.

I'm waiting for the day when they make being overweight considered a disability (which I would not agree with). Until then, it's at will employment, and being overweight is not a protected "class". The only case she would have would be in how they told her, and if they did so in front of others.

I'm overweight, but that's my own doing. I'm also still active and working to lose weight. I also have the common sense to know that, while I've got the tits to be able to work at hooters, I have too much of everything else.

So she quit excercising, lost all her muscle mass and actually got fatter while losing weight is more accurate??

Seems to me she is not upholding the image like they/she wanted and has not been working her shifts that she has been scheduled.. Now wants to sue for lost wages and emotional distress?? Someone might want to tell her subpoena's are public record.. And two, do not tell girls shit.. Seriously you work with girls at a restaurant.. gossip, rumors and facts spread like wildfire..

Meaning that being overweight could be a 'disability' or otherwise 'attribute' that is considered to be protected, under law, as a trait/hereditary condition that is applicable under 'hate crime' laws or similar discrimination laws. Hate, get wit' it!

I don't think that being overweight applies, she would have to prove some disability and then prove that they didn't make a reasonable effort to accommodate her.

[Stevie.Wonder]

Man, in doesn't matter what the law actually states, nor does it matter how the de facto interpretation of the law results. What matters is how it can be manipulated and the girl is savvy. She''ll make a killing. The judge knows it's a scam, the lawyers on both sides know but won't care because they're getting paid handsomely.

The judge will get a temporary reknown for presiding over it, resulting in a book deal or some other lucrative talk-show engagement. Everyone will forget about it within days.

If I’m paying $15 for 4 chicken strips, I want some sexual fantasies on the side.

Isn't "fat" a subjective matter though? Who can really judge that? Every Hooters' waitress would be in danger of losing their job under new management based on his/her opinion of their body, size, or color of hair. "sorry, hon, but you're fired because I only like blondes." I was just asking if there were specific guidelines the girls would understand in advance to know their limitations or to be protected in any way?

I wonder if anyone who works as a Hooters waitress has the forethought to get something like that in writing.

considering those guidelines would be nearly impossible to set (and more than likely discriminatory), and the fact that Hooters waitress isn't exactly seen as a potential career, I don't think those guidelines could ever be made official.

I’m assuming she is a lot more worried about her self-esteem after being called fat, than her career as a Hooters waitress.

jilly her stoopid googley eyed face is enough to get her fired if you have something better on deck. and A- you always have something on deck B- in time its always better than whats in the batters box.

did you read the rest of the article? She was hired at a heavier weight than what she is now.

Stefan Pinto: Do you think companies that uphold an image-based standard are in violation of one’s civil rights?
Jamie Eason: I believe that if a company hires you, they are hiring you based on your current appearance and fit for their image or brand. In this particular Hooters incident, Cassie actually lost weight from the date she was hired. It should be a non-issue.Stefan Pinto: Should Cassandra Smith take the free gym membership to keep her job at Hooters?
Jamie Eason: I feel that the company offering her a free gym membership is above what many others might do, but a 30 day requirement is not the most realistic. I'd tell Cassie to take the free gym membership but I wouldn't blame her if she had her lawyer look into potential weight discrimination charges because as I mentioned before, they hired her at a heavier weight, so the expectation to lose weight should have been set before the initial hire.

I think the best part of this story is that the manager of that store is like 400lbs.

Last time I went to the Hooters in SLC, my waitress looked like she was 14. She needed to eat a few wings.

[RedNFeisty]

She did get fat, what the hell is she complaining about?? She should have realized it when her tips starting decreasing, not having to be told by management. Stupid blond!!


See, I know how to spell blond...so go and FYP yourself!! :thumb:

There's no way that the girl in the Hooter's outfit is 145 pounds.

She's lying.

[big nasty kcnut]

I just want to look at the hot hooters girls is that so wrong.

[Rain Man]

I would think that the look of disappointment on your customers' faces every time they see you would be enough to make you get another job.

I've been to a Hooters twice. One time the waitress was a jawdropper - like, wow - and the other time it was a gal who looked like she ate all the ribs off the plates as the tables were cleaned off.

[Simply Red]

Cassandra...stop eating the food there.

I'm not really quite sure as to 'WHERE' this is from - but I really laughed at it. I AM going to Google it though. lol

[EWOK]

If I am going to go to a restaurant to eat and see girls half naked I would go to a topless bar the food is better and cheaper. Most people go to Hooters just to flirt with the girls and the girls know that it is just a game because in the end they get paid but not everyone has the same taste in women. Is women my have a case depending on the labor laws of that state but being overweight is not a disability now.

[RedNFeisty]

No, she would have to be 6'2" if she was 145 in the picture. Now, she might be 245 in the second picture.

Over 200, but she doesn't look THAT big. I've been that big.

Apparently, their "standard" varies from community to community. Chubbo Smith would be welcomed by the management here.

Ha! Yeah, she'd unfortunately fit right in at the Omaha Hooters.

[loochy]

She doesn't look fat to me. Something's up.

She has that crazy ho look, though. And damn, butterface.

I'd probably PIIHB.

It was a joke, 145 into 245..I don't really think she is 245, but over 200 for sure.

GoChiefs, in that picture is not fat. But, in the side by side that I showed, she is over weight.

Gotta love societys double standards.

Maybe if someone ever opens up a resteraunt catering to women where the waiters only wear skimpy briefs and called it "Peckers", he will get denied a job?

From the look on her face in that picture, it appears that someone beat you to it.

Does that mean they will have to make a gay one called "packers"?

Basically the dumb bitch wants a quick payday.. If she does get a out of court settlement the lawyers and PR firm will eat most of it and she will be working at Perkins two months later..


Yeah, Perkins will take any fatty!

Still not getting the point....when she was hired, she was at a heavier weight than the weight she was fired at. She actually lost weight after she was hired.

Based on what? Her statement, which was not under oath?

If she's claiming she was 145 pounds while wearing the Hooter's uniform, she's lying.

Based on the article....so again, why can't there be a standard...This is what you weigh now, we expect you to stay within ten lbs of this or we will have grounds to terminate you.

The article? Without an documentation of her weight, anything she says is arbitrary.

There is NO way that the girl dressed in the Hooter's uniform is 145 pounds.

Not a chance.

[RedNFeisty]

1st picture, working at Hooter's.....2nd picture, after working at Hooter's. It is irrelevant how much she weighted in her uniform, fact of the matter is, most states are, right to work states, meaning they can fire anyone no reason needed. The cunt needs to STFU and get another job, stop trying to sue for the sake of suing. Besides her weight she is ugly.

the more important question is how she managed to lose weight and look fatter.

[Predarat]

They should not have hired her anyways, that has to be a B cup, if I were a Hooters manager it would be solid C cups or higher. Its called HOOTERs for cryssake. No flat chested waitresses should be hired anyways.

I agree D cups are usually better but some gals look pretty good in a solid C cup. B cups and lower outta be banned at Hooters.

Nah, she was hot in that first picture.

You can have her, I don't want her!! :)

[Spott]

She's probably mad because she's finding out that most other restaurants actually want you to provide decent service unlike the shitty service that's provided at Hooters.
