    Couldn't they have made some sort of other excuse?
    Like something like that they are too crowded at the moment, or something more respectful.
    I mean that's still wrong, but I can't believe they outright said you're too fat, go home and lose weight.

    [/quote] exactly. I've only heard of people being turned away from clubs because of what they are wearing. I'm sure the other discrimination happens, but that doesn't make it any better. You shouldn't be turned away because you're ugly or old or fat or whatever. You're paying. How insulting is it to tell someone that you don't want their money because of the way they look?

    It would be better for the country if places like mcdonalds used this tactic. I would actually appreciate that. "sorry, fatty, you don't need a milkshake. Come back when you lose 50."

      Listen Mister..I am like 4 hours from you! LOL. I have never been told no in NYC or Boston. Although I dont think I am all that fat either...but still its not cool in my opinion.
    [/quote]

    of course this is about that girl and what she was told.  my point is people get turned away for various reasons. it happens every night in most spots.  nobody ever wins a lawsuit or gains anything, only lost time.

    agreed, dude was a jerk for saying what he said.

    What you got against guys with glasses, woman? 


    [/quote]

    I was being facetious.  If homeboy wants to turn away clientele, that's his business.  Not everybody has the same standards of what's "ok" or attractive.  I was just saying, some people think fat people are fug, some people think bald guys are fug, some people think people with glasses are fug....

    Would I turn away business because of what I found attractive?  I dunno.

    I DO know that I think it's hilarious this happened in Jersey.  Home of some of the biggest sweatiest hairiest grease balls in the US.  :lol:  I'm sure those guys were allowed entrance though.  Gotta keep the shot girls working.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

      I dont think that this is an "I'm going to sue this club" situation anyways. Its discrimination. Wont the club just get fined or something.

      But I will tell everyone this: That club is going to be full of fat people now and he wont be able to turn them away! He was very very stupid!

    I'd also like to state that I actually want a lot of fat people in the clubs. Like a lot. It increases my chances of scoring and makes me look a lot better.
    [/quote]

    I am with you on this Wick hahahah.


    I'm also curious as to how "fat" they were considering to be too fat to get in.

    Re: Nightclub Tells Fat Chicks To Go Home

    OK. Speaking as a fat girl, I would probably be pissed, DEFINITELY embarrassed if it were me. On the other hand, I think dance clubs are incredibly lame and I'd rather go to a bar. I agree that clubs will always turn away who they want for being (according to whoever) fat, bald, crosseyed, ugly, bucktooth, a terrible dresser, whatever. This is really no different, but again...it's rather embarrassing and I don't understand why they should care as long as the fat chicks have fat wallets.

    Re: Nightclub Tells Fat Chicks To Go Home

    We have had the same thing with cocktail waitress. They might look good when they start but after 15 20 years, the casinos might start laying them off. Just because they are not longer the figure or as pretty as they once were. Every once in awhile it will hit the front page, about discrimination.

    But then again there is a 88 year old stripper still dancing in one of the towns outside of Vegas.

    &nbsp; I think I saw her on Maury or one of those talk shows. I think the opposite attracts show or something.

    ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TEMPEST STORM? She's around that age and still at it. She's a legend, though!
    ETA: I have never been to Vegas, but every time I go to a casino, my cocktail waitress looks like a Waffle House waitress. I didn't know they turned any away.&nbsp; :2upset:

    You already know that I hate fat kids so this story won't come as a surprise:&nbsp; I was working at a Chinese fast food joint in the food court at the mall when a fat kid came up to order a cherry slushy.&nbsp; I said, &quot;Wouldn't you rather have a Diet Coke?&quot;&nbsp; He looked at me, blinked a few times and said, &quot;No, I want the cherry slushy.&quot;&nbsp; Hey, I tried.

    Of course I'm speaking of the menz.&nbsp; Mike posted up a youtube video re: the Jersey Shore.&nbsp; I couldn't help but giggle at all the fat boys who thought they were muscle heads.&nbsp; :lol:&nbsp; Love the double standards.

    You're lovely though.&nbsp;

    Re: Nightclub Tells Fat Chicks To Go Home

    Look, if I owned a club, I would want it to be known to be the hottest club around, wouldn't be hard if I opened one in Perth, and I would refuse certain people entry. I would refuse a really huge obese fat bird, I can see how it would be bad for business. Please don't bad karma me.
    I wouldn't want dirty skanks in my club either, so I would refuse skanks.

    Its just business baby.

    A bit ironic no? Weren't you the one who had a train run on you by 12 guys?&nbsp; &nbsp;
    And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

    STFU I am not a skank. You are a doucheddick.

    I was kidding, I wouldn't refuse a fat girl into my club. But I would refuse skinny drug addict looking skanks.
