I may be in the minority but I kind of agree with the company.

[stevem]

They can do what they like as far as I'm concerned. Yet I think women look better with a bit of curve to them.

[stevem]

Of course, such things are ALWAYS a matter of personal preference. It's a gift of nature that were aren't all clones of one another and we have different things that appeal to us.

[LisaMalia]

Well, I guess I'll open this can of worms...

If a business owner can refuse to hire smokers, I guess all bets are off.

I personally think it's not a good thing...where does it end?

[highlandbreeze]

Well, I agree with them too. It's their company.

[Hurricane Andrew]

Not the minority.

Funny thing you never hear is that the same deal applies to the male bartenders, etc. as well. As long as "what's good for the goose" (no pun intended) is "good for the gander," I have no problem with it either.

I mean really, does the Federal Gov't need to be involved with weight issues (that were disclosed up front, mind you) at a casino? If so, then get ready for limits on the amount of silicone at certain "gentlemen's establishments." I think we have more important things to worry about.

[tiredoflaundry]

I just wish I was able to fit into those costumes!.LOL

[Dinsdale]

You guys have'nt been to a casino recently.

In light of age discrimination laws they have in shape old women serving drinks. Aghhhhhhhhhhh.

[Tall_Texan]

Right about now, somebody is going to post the lyrics to "Fat Bottomed Girls".

[Smartaleck]

Explained very well here. It's a new movement?
Why Not "Fat" Pride??

Can "Hooters" fire a big breasted woman who gets a breast reduction?

[Trampled by Lambs]

If ever there was a thread that needed pics, this is one.

[teenyelliott]

I bet if a hooters chick lost her boobs in a tragic dart throwing accident, they wouldn't want her working there, either.

Bottom line, if you take a job that is based on appearance and you let that appearance slide, buh bye. If you think physical attributes shouldn't matter to an employer, then don't take a job at one of those businesses. I wish all of the that's not fair whiney babies would shut up.

[Springman]

There ain't nothin' wrong with a little cushing for pushing!!

[Theresawithanh]

I agree with the company, too. They have an image they want to present, and they as the employer get to say who does and who doesn't fit that image, and they are requiring it of the women and the men.

[Charlotte Corday]

I wouldn't mind a weight restriction if it applies to all employees.

Any 290 pound tub of lard manager telling me I'm in trouble for gaining 11 pounds is in for some serious grief.

[Hudobna]

This is pure foolishness. Waitresses are not entertainers or harem houris, they're working girls.

[DemWatch]

Casino Stands Firm On Firing Waitresses Who Gain Weight Freedom of association...good for them!

[SampleMan]

And in other news, Hooters fires waitresses that refuse to shave their pits.

[Chuckster]

Here's a couple of the "Borgata Babes"

[LaBradford22]

Am I reading that right that cocktail servers are unionized? Yikes. Only in New Jersey.
