Hooters' waitress sued company for being told that she is fat
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...” Link with pics: http://ww.examiner.com/x-1943-Fitnes...0m5d19-hooters |

That isn't anti-Semitic.

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. |

If i go to Hooters, which is literally once per ten yrs. Then **** YES i wanna see hot, it's its' culture, sheesh. There are plenty of places to wait tables. It becomes common-sense for the applicant, or at least it should.

So there's no way for Hooters to accentuate he growing jubblies so that the refined customer doesn't notice he flabbity flab? She must have been getting large.

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.
