DETROIT - Hooters had just given waitress Cassie Smith a glowing 2 year review.
But her bosses and two women on a conference call from the company's headquarters in Atlanta changed their tune when it came to her uniform evaluation
“They were like, your shorts and your shirt size could use some improvement,” said Smith.
Cassie, who is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 132 pounds claims she sat there while she was told if she wanted to keep her job she needed to drop some weight.
“These women proceeded to tell me I had 30 days, they would give me a free gym membership, and if I didn't improve in 30 days I would be separated from the company,” Smith said.
“I was horrified, I was heartbroken, I was humiliated,” she continued.
Cassie clearly doesn't have a problem squeezing into her skimpy uniform, an extra small tank top and shorts.
In fact she says when she started this job 2 years ago she weighed about 10 pounds more than she does now.
Questions to the restaurant’s general manager Rob Rice were deferred to Hooters’ corporate offices.
For Cassie the damage has already been done.
The 20 year-old feels like she's a victim of weight discrimination by a corporation with unrealistic expectations.
“I don't want other girls to go through this. I don't want anyone to have to go through this.”
NOT GUILTY!
Give her an alternative. You can keep the weight IF you get a boob job.
I’d hire it!
5’8” and 130 pounds is not too bad...maybe a bit plump
some Hooters gals here are much more plump than that
NOT THESE BOOBIES! 
“5’8” and 130 pounds is not too bad...maybe a bit plump”
I bit plump is good. Real women have some curves. Skinny women just aren’t attractive to me.
What?!?!?!?
Lady, you work for a company that makes money by indulging unrealistic expectations. Quit whining and do some sit ups.
I like “plump”.
Women should look like women, not the angular, curveless shape of a 14 year old boy, that the current arbiters of taste, the queers, have foisted upon us.
I see a nice Christmas bonus in her future.
Wow, they are going to fire her? There has to be more to this story, something along the lines of “office politics.”
Nice. She needs to get 2 15 lb dumbells and do side crunches. She would get rid of that quickly. Alternatively......
Yeah, she’s hot, this is dumb. OTOH, free gym membership!
Hell, I’ve seen fatter ones than that in Hooters! We’re talking muffin tops, almost resembling a DQ soft serve with two rolls, flat backsides, etc.
She’s fine, NOT guilty!
Can’t tell if she is overweight with those clothes on. New pics needed.
Hooters girls have plenty of curves at 110 lbs.
It’s the ratio of hip-to-waist is what makes a woman’s rear and sides look attractive -— specifically .7.
It also is an indication of peak fertility.
