Mr. Sinister Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/05/19/hooters-server-put-on-weight-probation/?icid=main|hp-laptop|dl4|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fjobs.aol.com%2Farticles%2F2010%2F05%2F19%2Fhooters-server-put-on-weight-probation%2F Hooters server Cassie White claims she was recently put on "weight probation" and told she has 30 days to drop some pounds or have her employment with Hooters terminated. She is 5-foot-8 and 132 pounds. White is not the first person to lose employment because of her weight. In 2009, Ralph Lauren model Filippa Hamilton says the company fired her claiming she was overweight and couldn't fit into the clothes. At the time, Hamilton was 5-foot-10 and weighed 120 pounds. Obviously these people are not overweight by most people's standards -- but who should decide what constitutes being overweight, or whether weight can be a determining factor in job performance?

Predicto Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Working at Hooters is not an ordinary job. Appearance is part of the compensation bargain, because Hooters ain't selling the quality of its food - that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 To be honest, she really did'nt look that bad at all, she just was'nt rail thin. There isn't a full body shot in the vid, but hopefully the weight was in all the right places . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboDaMan Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Actually their wings are pretty good.Yeah, that's right, that's what I go there for, the wings!I saw her on TV. She was no stick, but I thought she looked pretty good. I'm not a fan of the waif look anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Courts have already ruled in favor of Hooters when it comes to discrimination for hiring... i.e. men cannot sue for not being hired as waiters. Hooters waitresses rejoiced at the time. So, with that, I guess it's only fair they accept stuff like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I've worked with about 15 ex Hooter's girls... They've all told me similar and different horror stories about working there... I have no respect for that company at all and I refuse to eat there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 How the hell are we supposed to come up with our own conclusion w/out pictures? BTW. 5'8 and 130 sounds healthy to me. Edit:Saw the vid and it confirms IMO that she is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchogs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 seriously, that girl is no where close to overweight, even by hooters' standards. i've seen bigger girls than that there. that rule should be used for girls that are really packing on the pounds. the only thing i could think of is that she used to be 5'8" 110 or something when she was hired and has gained a lot of weight (even though the end weight isn't overweight per se).

Unforgiven Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I have no clue how much she weighed when hired and how quickly she added whatever weight she put on since coming there, so it's hard to really make any kind of judgment on this. That being said, when you go to work at a place like this you shouldn't be shocked that they have a very specific look they want you to maintain that is in line with their image. It's kind of like Playboy saying they want to do a photo-shoot with you, then you show up weighing 15 pounds more than you did in the shots they hired you based off of. I realize that Hooters is a restaurant, but let's be honest....these girls aren't hired based on their waitress skills. In other news, she obviously isn't remotely overweight by any means, but she signed up for this when she applied there, sucks for her but I don't really feel sorry for her. Also, this is entirely one sided as we only have the details she wants you to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I give her two thumbs up. i'm confused here. in the video (and the pic on the left) she looks a-okay to me, but it says "before." she looks significantly heavier in the face/neck in the picture on the right, though it's tough to label here "heavy" in that after picture. is that really a before and after picture?

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I agree with this comment from the article: Geeze....what happened to Hooter girls having some boobs (hooters). I like to see girls with some meat on their ass! Maybe Hooters should become a gay chicken wing place and hire 12 y/o boys if they think this girl is overweight!
