I gotta go out on a limb here...In my opinion...if the girl didn't want to wear make-up she shouldn't have to. They shouldn't be able to fire someone based on that. They should only be able to fire her if she didn't do her job well. She had worked there for 20 years! Maybe her religion doesn't allow her to wear make-up? Maybe she is allergic to it? Maybe she thinks she is naturally beautiful? Whatever her reason...this ruling was ridiculous in my opinion.

I'd agree with you, but I suppose Harrah's can impose such rules if they want. Personally, I like women without makeup. But that's just my preference.

Her religion allows her to work in a bar but doesn't allow makeup?

So the government, not the business owner, should get to set the dress code?

Not. Did you read the article?

Maybe you just shouldn't start your own business!

Do you really want the government telling you how to run it?

Should the court be able to force you to hire a waitress or bartender?

I'm a believer in the principle that an employer should be able to fire somebody for whatever they want, just like an employee can quit for any reason, or no explained reason

In this case, an attractive bartender will make more money for the place than an unattractive bartender
