Waitress Claims She Was Fired Over Weight (Employment & Labor Law)

Robert <wayne_s_noches@lawknowledge.org.yahoo.com> wrote in message news It amazing that Ruby Tuesdays, which has high calorie **** for food and which probably causes massive obesity for people stupid enough to eat their **** food would fire someone for being overweight

I wouldn't consider their fare to be "high calorie **** for food".
Gourmet fare, no, but decent food for the price.

Is this woman such a putz that she's incapable of finding another job?
Get over it, move on. Maybe lose some weight while she's at it.
Apologize for firing her??? Gimme a break! Why is it that when
something bad happens to some people it's always someone else's fault?
Maybe she should apologize for being such a loser.
