8 Ways To Celebrate Valentine's Day Without Going Broke
Oh, Hooters, we love your wings. We hate your ... everything else. So please, don't ruin the wings for us by firing a server for being fat. Especially when she's 5-foot-8 and weighs 132 lbs.
Cassie Smith, 20, works at a Hooters in Michigan and was recently given a performance review. The only complaints were about her uniform sizes. Two women from the Hooters corporate headquarters in Atlanta told hew to shape up or ship out ... literally.
Cassie was given a free membership to a gym and 30 days to drop some pounds. The problem is that her current size doesn't give her that much weight to lose before she's underweight. Hooters reps say they can enforce a fitness requirement because their waitresses are just like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, only with hula hoops and pitchers of Bud.
We also couldn't help but notice that while this girl is being harassed to shed some weight, her assistant regional manager seemed a little more in need of a diet.
Oh, and the restaurant in question has had several health-code violations, which are prrrrrrrrrrobably more important than whether a waitress is wearing small or extra-small booty shorts. Priorities, people!

It does look like to me that she has gained a little weight- around her face because that's all we can see- since she took the picture.
But if she is still 132 lb- that's absolutely ridiculous!

What are you talking about? It's not just a picture of her face! It's a full picture, showing face, arms, breasts, waist, hips, legs -- all in her Hooter's Uniform -- looking skinny! If she loses weight, she'll be UNDER-weight...

My family doesn't go to Hooters, and that includes my hubby. We'd rather put our money into businesses that respect women, instead of businesses that objectify them and treat them like meat.

Give me a break. How ridiculous is this.
I was in a Hooters in Fort Myers, Florida a few years ago and a very pregnant hostess seated us. She was beautiful and pregnance is just a part of life.
132 lbs is not very heavy for a 5'8" woman.
Hooters is out of their minds. I am a woman and I like their food, but if they are going to ostracize a 132 lb woman I am not going to go back.

If she loses any more weight she's not going to have any hooters left to hoot at. Are they crazy? Well what can you expect from this antediluvian excuse for a restaurant! How about a restaurant with male servers running around wearing cod pieces ... they could call it " Willies" ...
But privacy concerns are more important. Bet you didn't know you have a "profile" which includes every message you've ever posted on ANY AOL board. It was set up automatically linked to your EMail address ... when you "verified' you first comment. AOL seems to think "verify" means
"set up unauthorized profile with archives". Hummm ...
WARNING ... there is a Hyperlink under your display name on this comment board. Try it. WOW .... isn't that neat?. There's your "profile'.
That profile was created the first time you signed on to ANY comment board on AOL ... and there are almost a hundred of them, including this one. It's linked to your EMail address . Permanently.
Now look at the nice archives of EVERY comment you've ever made, right there on your profile. To be seen by anyone who clicks onto it.
AOL never warned you that whatever name you first used would be DISPLAYED online and on that profile. Even if you later post under a pseudonym .... heck ... that original name is still on your profile. Gee whiz .... they never even warned you a "profile" was being made. Only that your comment had been "verified". Sneaky sneaky ....
Oh yes. If you have an unusual name and you've ever posted anything on LemonDrop, your profile may be picked up by Google Search and you'll be all over the World Wide Web as an independent link. Instant fame?
Nasty Nasty ....

once again as you read thru all these posts you see all the fat women running to the aid of this very over weight young girl
i wonder why all you fat women cant just sew your lips together to control your desire to eat.
you would rather attack the establishment that she wanted to work for because originally she had a nice figure and an ample bosom and now that she has eaten too many wings and fries and they want her back looking they did when they hired her you all think that it is unfair.
well you tubbos are whats wrong with this country.
instead of looking at things fairly you would rather sit back and eat your twinkies than control your eating and get out an excercise
your probably insecure about yourselves with a whole host of other things also

The weight issue is a smokescreen......they want her out because her breasts don't fall in the patrons faces when shes bends down to give them their plate of hot wings and fries.
Losers..all of them in this seedy crap.

Susan, its a smoke screen. They are trying to get rid of her and using that nonsense to do it. I would suggest she hire a woman attorney to put them on notice. They will back off quickly than you can say "HOOT" If you look at some of those guys with all that pot belly sitting in office, they are nothing but scum to try this low crap with a woman. I repeat, let her sue them and she isn't going to be the first or last person doing it. Hooter always in trouble and I am sure other former members would want to join the law suit so it can be a class action

Hooters is a business that its trademark is pretty waitresses that have to look good in uniform. Thus to work there she has to keep her figure. She isnt fat by no means, but rules are rules

Tara, What rules are you talking about? Every business is a business. But a business is not supposed to tell a woman to lose weight when she is far more beautiful with an a super figure. I am wondering if you are working or paid by those scum male pigs to write this nonsense. You ought to be ashamed with trying to put down another woman who is by far attractive than you will ever be. I would advise you not to be so blinded for the sake of some copper and trying to put another woman who doesn't need to lose even an ounce of weight. I still say let her sue that business. The courts are already full of case against that very business. When the jury are done with them, they will never again bring up that nonsense of theirs.

Hey.. certain jobs require you to look a certain way (i.e. good). This is one of them. If you change the way you look, you are putting the business at risk. People go there with the expectation of seeing beautiful people. Look at her face and neck, they're huge! You can tell she's gained weight. The girl needs to get her fat behind in shape or hit the road! You knew what the job required and what was expected of you when you accepted the job.

You're right, if she had gained weight they might have a contractual issue...but she's in fact LOST weight, and there are measurements taken at the time of employment and at a later review to prove it. Nothing in the two pictures available for this story indicate that she's gained weight. I don't know what the real deal is here, but I'm highly suspicious that it's about weight or how the company uniform looks on her.

Am I looking at the wrong picture? The girl in the photo I'm looking at is no where near fat, she's absolutely perfect! And a beautiful girl at that! This world is so full of jealous bored busy bodies who don't have a life so they make it their life to knock everyone and everything! I would like to see pictures of all the people who are doing the criticizing here! I can't picture any of you looking better than her. If you were you would be out somewhere enjoying your life, not in here knocking everyone you see and everything you read about!
