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.”
Hooters won that in the US Supreme Court.
No men waiters.
It’s a “sexually themed restaurant” and may thus legitimately discriminate based on sex and appearance.

Really? Is that your picture on your home page?
Can’t...form...a...cogent....response.....
Instantaneous....massive.....blood flow...away from....my brain....
I don't believe so. The EEOC accepted a multi-million dollar settlement with Hooters for sex discrimination claims, with the settlement involving the creation of additional positions to be staffed with men. In fact, just last year, Hooters settled another claim with a would-be waiter on a sex discrimination claim.
Yes, but we didn’t eat it as often in the 50s,60s,70s, & 80s. These days, even a dinner prepared at home is largely “fast food”. Have you noticed all those fully prepared meals in the deli section of your grocery stores? They are generally high fat, high sodium. And they take no effort to slip into the microwave to heat. At least when our mothers and grandmothers prepared a meal, it took a little bit of real cooking.
Curvy women are beautiful.
That’s all true as well.
Back then kids went to the “burger joint” Friday night...but ate at home the rest of the time.
Lowering salt is the hard part for me...it just seems bland without it. Spend 20 years eating way too much salt, it’s almost as if your taste buds have adjusted to a high salt level as if it were normal.
She is obviously very tiny. However, I would not call her healthy. At 20 y/o, she is working on a pretty nice beer belly. I’m all for curves, but that’s not what’s going on with her.
However, after visiting the local Hooters in Kansas, I would say that Many women there have this look. I’m not sure why they singled her out.
he’s in a target rich environment

I disagree with their evaluation of her, but as far as MAKING an evaluation on such superficial characteristics is concerned, it’s Hooters, for Gosh sake! If you don’t want to be judged on your appearance, don’t go to work at “Hooters”.
dang...that was mean.
but i can take it
i’m taking maxgxl right now...first time I’ve ever taken an anit-oxident enhancer
may increase metabolism
i’m low thyroid...have been forvever
:)
I’m just saying people with glass houses shouldn’t throw bricks and I think you have a little bit of a glass belly.
And this would be in “banglist” because.... (and no, please don’t explain it)
Me too. I was so disappointed.
And mom didn’t bring the burgers home as “take out”.
Re salt: If you cut out all salt, or use only salt substitutes, for a couple of months, you will find that pre-salted foods seem very salty. Same with fat. They are almost unpalatable. However, when you re-intoduce salt and fat in your regular diet, you get used to it again really fast. That is why it is really hard to stick to diets.
It takes a couple of months to break your salt and fat dependence and a day to be stuck on it again. It’s almost like oil prices on the barrel head vs. gasoline prices at the pump. LOL.
