I doubt that she's asking for the death penalty. She's probably just looking for some compensation for the losses that she has incurred as a result of his decision to change the rules to require that she begin dressing like a whore for him.
If, like you say, it's just about money, he should understand why she feels the need to take him to court. He should compensate her for her monetary losses and get on with his life.
That’s what the company faces. When your market changes you adapt or you die. Breastaurants are very popular and make a lot of money, that money is money not being spent in other places, either restaurants without a lot of cleavage.
There’s no reason for her to compensate her. The direction of the company changed but she was still welcome to be a part of it. Had she stayed she probably would have seen her income rise (more customers spending more money generally equates to more tips), she chose not to. He shouldn’t compensate her for her repercussions of her decisions. He would be getting on with his life except she’s suing. She should be getting on with her life, there’s still plenty of non-breastaurants in the world for her to work at.
Let’s suppose the employer wanted to keep the old uniforms and it was the employee who wanted to change to something sexier in order to increase her tips. If she decided to quit because she didn’t get to wear the sexy uniform, could the employer demand she continue to work for him, wearing the old uniform? Could the employer get damages from the waitress if she quit in order to work at Hooters?
No, of course not. THAT is employment at will.
