Today, I applied for a job in an Italian restaurant. Ideally I wanted to be a hostess rather than a waitress, and I told the manager as much. His response? "No no no. Hostess no good for you. We leave that to the pretty girls." FML

Today, I had an interview to be a waitress. Afterwards, I had food in the restaurant, which is where I overheard my interviewer tell the manager he wasn’t going to bother hiring “that girl I just interviewed” because "her face is nasty and she’ll put the customers off their food." FML
Today, I submitted my application to a restaurant as a server. The manager, who is more than 30 years older than me, said he'd be calling me. He later texted me asking for a date instead of giving me a job. FML
Today, I was rejected from a restaurant that I wanted to work in during summer break. I asked the reason why I got rejected and the manager told me that I'm not extroverted enough to communicate with customers. I'd applied for the kitchen job. FML
Today, at work, a table of girls complained to the manager about me. The complaint? "He's not hot enough to work here. We want a sexy server." The manager agreed with them and sent me home. I might lose my job because of a table of shallow women. FML
Today, I finally got an interview at a restaurant after looking for a job for three months. I dressed nice, and the interview was going well until this blonde girl in booty shorts and fishnets walked in. The manager hired her on the spot. FML
Today, I applied for a job as a dishwasher. I was denied because I don't have enough experience. FML
Today, I was working as a host at a pasta diner. The hostess I was working with was very attractive and we were flirting quite a bit. A large woman walked in to be seated, and I leaned over to her and dared her to ask the woman if she wanted two chairs. She leaned back and said, "That's my mom." FML
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML
Today, I applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML
Today, I had a job interview at a local business with the owner who was man, and the manager who was a woman. I thought I did pretty well because I heard the manager whisper so, as I was walking out. Then I heard the owner whisper, "No fat chicks." FML

Well, just keep in mind standards of beauty aren't universal. The people I think are pretty are usually the opposite of what most people would say.

Anyone who makes that kind of comment, 43, has to be uglier than anyone they're commenting on. Go **** yourself. And don't try to back out of that comment because we all know you're just a shallow motherfucking bitch who has nothing better to do with their lives than insult people they know nothing about.

Plus hostessing sucks. Serving sucks sometimes, but hostessing sucks all of the time.

I don't know why people are getting so upset about this. It's just good business skills. Think about it. Your hostess is at the front door, the first thing people see when they walk in. You want her to make a good impression on people. Pretty, bubbly, smiling, friendly, well put together. Many people walk into restaurants not sure if they want to eat there, and a good hostess can make them stay :)

I think it's more the phrasing than the business practice. He could have said it in a way that didn't imply she was unattractive.

Why would you rather be a hostess? They make dick, maybe 1/4 of a server.
