News Hooters' waitress sued company for being told that she is fat - Page 11

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...”

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.

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 **** needs to

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.

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.

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

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.
