Well, I thought today was bad because 4 out of 5 photocopiers are not working in the building and it took me 45 minutes to find one that was and get in the queue to use it. But at least I can wear trainers to work and would never dream of wearing makeup.
Mind you, you don't have to have ID cards in the US.
Not to minimize what this decision is saying, but there are a couple of things to be aware of which DO affect perception of this decision:
(1) It was made by a three-judge panel, not by the entire court. It can be appealed to the full court - and to the Supreme Court.
(2) It was made by a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit. This is the circuit that has had the most decisions overturned, on bases amounting to 'What the hell were you thinking?'.
Definitely, IMO, a bad decision - but I don't think it presages anything for the rest of the country, and I believe that it will be overturned when the Supreme Court eventually rules on the general issue (if not on this specific case).
I am sure it will probably be over turned eventually by some PC court but frankly I kinda agree with it. I mean its vegas after all, the whole town wears a costume and has a certian image. It's also why we will never see a fat hooters girl. Like it or not companies have a right to portray a certain image and require a certain standard in their employees ( as long as it doesn't violete race or handicap laws. What bothers me is they offered her a chance of another job in a less girly costume area. She chose not to take it. If she had been terminated with out that I would have said more power to her. Although I guess they could have grandfathered her in since she had been there so long. Or hell all she had to do was get a doctor to say she was allergic to make-up. They couldn't fire her then. I get the sense she just saw a big pay day at the end of the "I'll sue you" rainbow.

I no longer think it's just in my head.
