In case any of you were waiting up to hear the status of this case. Just a few short months ago, this story was big news.

I hope she wins. Slimy attempt at humor, for the owners own financial benefit. What a scum.

Company lawyers filed a motion to dismiss saying employees agree when hired to try to settle disputes through mediation or arbitration before suing. From one who knows; if there is a standard arbitration clause in the contract, she had better just go to arbitration now. The only real way around an arbitration clause is if it was signed as a result of a fraudulent misrepresentation and the arbitration provisions blatantly favor the company, which may just be the case in this situation. Her attorney obviously wants a jury, especially in Florida where jury verdicts can be huge. If Hooters was smart, they'd just give her the car, because she is going to win in either the arbitration or in front of a jury. If she gets to a jury, Hooters is going to get slammed big time. "A poor waitress against a large sexist restaurant that makes it's waitresses where suggestive clothing?" If I was on the jury and she showed up for trial wearing her Hooters uniform, Hooters might as well sign over the restaurant to her.

I hope this isn't considered abuse. Please forgive me. I'm only a newbie here.

So, they stiffed her! If she sues, then have Hillary as Hooter's attorney, she stiffs waitresses too!
