<<Harrah's casino in Reno had the right to fire a female bartender because she refused to wear makeup despite the fact that she had consistently high employment evaluations, a sharply divided panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.>>

1. Gee, I was a casino bartender, and they never made me wear

makeup.

Friggin' idiots.

2. Welcome to Bush's America.

Come on, it's the free market at work! Let the market decide. If she wasn't pretty enough without make-up, she doesn't deserve that job! She obviously didn't work hard enough to give the customers hard-ons! She deserved it.

6. Apparently, some people do believe that it's okay to fire someone

for not wearing makeup.

4. This Is Really Disturbing

Wear hair "teased curled or styled?" Um is this 1966? WTF?

The standards are outdated and GEEKY!

8. Preparing to duck flames and arrows ..

It IS a casino ya know.

To go on record, I don't agree with a policy that tells women OR men how they have to look to do a job, but this is a CASINO. Most casinos I've been to in Vegas, there seems to be an "image" or a "theme" to the uniforms of the employees.

Granted there is something fishy about this cause.

She was hired in 1979 and this is just now coming up?
