With all the pimply faced kids with dirty fingernails working at Hamburger joints, I'm sure she'd would have been an improvement.

Not to mention the multiple piercings and meth teeth.

The EEOC should be disbanded.

You forgot to add...
...that can't subtract $1.97 from $2.00 without a calculator.

So does this mean that burger chains are supposed to automatically hire anyone who fills out an application?

The woman has Treacher Collins Syndrome, a birth defect that caused a malformed cranial bone structure, asymmetrical eye placement and the absence of ears.
Finally, that which afflicts Alan Colmes has a name.
Oh wait, he has ears. Maybe he has a variant strain.

Boy, she could help control the evils of fast food. While my heart goes out to her, perhaps food sever is not the best vocational choice.

I personally have a harder time buying food from someone with intentional disfigurement, such as lip, nose, eyebrow, cheek, and other piercings, than I do from someone with a deformity over which they had no control.

LOL! How true.
And, if your bill comes to $2.96 and you should happen to give them $3.01 they'll look at you like you're the one messed up.

No, someone glued on a set so he could wear his glasses.

This is a difficult one. We had some big discussion about this disease many months ago here on FR. It is an extraordinarily disfiguring disease. I don't know. I admire this woman for her tenacity. But I do understand the restaurant problem. It's sad. I hope this woman gets a job where she can work in with peace and respect.

No, it means they cannot deny employment to someone based upon a disability, which seems to be the case here.

Mine too. But damn... I am sure there are a lot of jobs she could do, but I certainly would lose my appetite if she was my server. That may be discriminatory, but it is also plain truth.

"Not to mention the multiple piercings and meth teeth."Add a bunch of tattoos to the mix, and a big BURP from the Taco Bell server I'd seen a few years ago, and the ol' appettite vanishes into thin air.

So does this mean that burger chains are supposed to automatically hire anyone who fills out an application? Actually no. And as much as I hate the EEOC and all these lawsuits, the facts seem undisputed. Other applicants with the same qualifications were hired while she was not. The chain seems to agree, they are settling. And the amount is small, it seems to have been the principle instead of the money in this case.

Is it just me, or has he gotten extremely thin lately?
He looks anorexic or ill to me.

No employer should be forced to hire anyone. I feel for the lady but there are other jobs out there. Perhaps she can take the money and get an education and not have to work in a fast food joint.
