The Smart Redneck asked:
How is it legal for places like hooters to get away with just hiring the ideal looking girls to waitress there places wouldn’t some *** man or fat girl get offended for not being hired and file a law sit for discrimination against the company and win







I don’t think a *** man or a fat woman would want to work there. Seeing all these other pretty women would make them feel insecure in a way. Doesn’t matter if it’s just hooters its anywhere. Say you’re trying to get a job as a dental assistance. Who would get the job a black woman with perfect teeth? Or a white woman with yellow/missing teeth? It’s just the way the world is =(
I think there have been a few challenges on just those grounds.
Most likely, the job description is more than just taking orders and serving, it is considered entertainment. And the entertainment industry is given quite a bit of latitude defining bona fide job requirements. If a film requires an 8 year old boy, they can refuse to even audition someone based on their sex, age, looks, weight, accent, build, eye color, etc.
Thank goodness no one has sued them! I love that place!
They hire the girls as “Models that Serve.”
I think technically it isn’t even considered heiring–they are “casting them for a role”
This same technique is used all over. (like the casino in Oceans thirteen!)
anyway– they have been sued in the past and they did alright.
It is whats called a BFOQ. Bonafide Occupational Qualification. Every place in Vegas is the same. These places sell *** (without the prostitution of course.) They are known for there beautiful buxom waitresses. But not all of there waitresses are buxom. I’ve been to a few and the girls couldn’t have been more than an A to small B. They were still hot. A *** man or fat girl wouldn’t stand a chance in hell winning.
I don’t think fat girls would go in and ask for a job because its embarrassing getting turned down. so the only people that come in are probably the typical good looking girls. NO one likes getting shot down
Hooters was sued over their hiring practices and lost……..
in the settlement they agreed to change their hiring criteria which technically they have (in writing).
they continue to be selective and are very careful to provide decisions on hiring in writing and those decisions offer very realistic legal reasons to not hire the prospect in question. the mistake Hooters made was having a hiring policy that did discriminate and blatantly advertising that fact.
they still discriminate (i mean hire selectively)
but they do so as most employers do
within the realm of the law………………
THANK GOD THEY DO!!!!
