Poor Jennifer Rogers. All she wanted to do was serve burgers and beer at the sports bar Tilted Kilt. She had the skills, the experience, and she aced her interviews. And then ... she tried on the the uniform. Jennifer did not fit into the kilt, so she was not hired as a Kilt Girl. And the restaurant got away with not hiring Jennifer because they refer to the position as an "entertainer" not a waitress, and because they call the uniform a "costume," and because a federal law allows restaurants to discriminate against employees who do not fit their brand image. In Tilted Kilt's case that would mean "attractive, intelligent, and having outgoing personalities." Hm, come to think of it, kinda seems like Jennifer "fits" the branding just fine.![]()
