Hiring Ugly People

It's not complicated. It really isn't. Ugly people, just like morbidly obese people, scare away customers and hurt the "bottom line." Would you want to be forced to hire a morbidly obese receptionist for your "Curves" studio? How about being forced to hire Madelyn Albright as a receptionist for your cosmetic surgery practice? (They'd be thinking; "Why couldn't he fix THAT?") "Google" a photo of her if you're clueless.

Many years ago when I moved to my present community, I randomly chose a bank. This was before ATM's, so one usually needed to go inside. What a TREAT! It turned out that ALL the tellers were drop-dead gorgeous women. (No accident, I'm sure). The bank went through several mergers over the years and service suffered, but I stayed. WHY? Finally, it got so bad that I switched, but I still miss those women. The branch manager knew what he was doing when he hired people. Beautiful women were/are GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

Not that I would do so, but shouldn't employers be allowed, without fear of civil suits, to honestly say "Sorry, but you are just too ugly/fat to work here. My business would suffer." Personally I would find a more kind and superficial reason to not hire that person, like Abercrombie and Fitch which allegedly hires only "beautiful people" from the right colleges. But wouldn't it be nice to not have to play that game?
