isn't that what Hooter's does too?
wonder what black group is complaining about this?
This is hilarious....so you can rule them from only hiring good looking people, but can you actually ever prove that is what they were doing? ANd yes I do not remember anyone ever suing Hooters for this problem.
Sorry, butt ugly doesn't sell anything. Especially food and drink.
I believe they are within their rights to hire anyone they choose for ANY reason.
The object is to stay in business and provide jobs, Yes?
Attractiveness is a commodity like anything else in the image driven reality. Good looking people succeed have better educations and tend to marry other attractive persons and have attractive children and a higher standard of living. It is part of natural selection. Only Wal-Mart has a policy of hiring schlubbies that's the demographic they want to make feel at home.
