I applaud her decision to NOT want to wear scanty uniforms, but a lawsuit is the wrong direction. A privately-owned business should be able to make legal changes in how they do business. If she doesn't like the changes, she can leave.
I have mixed feelings about this story. First, as a Christian I applaud and support this young woman for her stand, and for refusing to expose herself and give up her modesty just to keep her job.
That being said, I disagree with her decision to sue the employer. The employer has the right to change the working conditions, including hours of work and work uniform. If she does not like those changes, she has the right to quit. But to sue over those changes indicates that she believes that she had a RIGHT to that job under HER conditions.
I applaud her decision and agree with the unpaid wages and
wrongful determination. She would probably win the sexual harrassment charge b/c of the creation of a hostile work environment.
I just happen to think that the law regarding sexual harrassment is too broad and too vague. I don’t agree with that charge.
"Godliness" is suing a company when you don't like the working conditions there anymore?
Wow.
I pray she loses. Then goes to work somewhere else.
“Scaramella”
What a beautiful Italian surname. Just flows off your tongue.
If she works in an at-will employment state she is pretty much SOL.
While I’m all for her saying no to the uniform change her lawsuit it silly. The uniform is the uniform, you wear it or you’re out. It’s not sexual harassment to fire somebody who won’t wear the provided uniform, even if they’re right to not wear it. That’s the voluntary nature of the employer/ employee relationship, either party can sever it.
Kudos to the gal for refusing to get tramped up, but the fact of the matter is she doesn’t have a right to that job. If she want’s to dress modestly she can open her own restaurant and call it “Wholesome Pie” or some such.
M/A ping.
Looks like FReepers are divided 50/50. Some argure for the restaurant. Some for Courtney.
I was reading the other day that these “breasteraunts” have experienced a 33% sales increase over past year, the only restaurant segment to be doing well. So no stopping this as an overall trend it seems.
She’s a beautiful girl.
I hope she finds success in life somewhere else.
The uniform in question - for those who are curious. I would not have wanted my wife, daughters, or mother to wear it.
Bet they get bigger tips. God Bless America!

I am not in favor of the law. Nor do I consider the termination "wrongful" based on the principle. I am also for property rights and the right of business owners to run their businesses as they see fit, but those who do not fault the law and instead fault the waitress are missing the point.
The truth is that property rights in this country have been trampled with the help of judges appointed by Republican presidents. The idiot Scalia thinks that growing your own plants affects interstate commerce and so the government should control gardening activities.
While I applaude her for NOT wearing the new outfit, I disagree with her decision to sue.
She does not have a ‘right’ to work there.
Businesses change all the time. If they decided to change INTO a hooter franchise, what would she have done? Sue them to force them not to?
Kudos for holding onto her morals, but she needs a lesson in private property, and I am available to give her one any time at all~!!!!!!!!!!
Sue me, sue you. It’s interesting how people who complain about the American judicial system, frivolous lawsuits, ambulance chasers like the Edwards couple, etc, all of a sudden say “oh, but in this case sue them for all they’ve got!”, and for each of us it’s a different “in this case”, so that the cumulative effect is the corrupt judicial system we’ve got ourselves! Mirror, mirror!
