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 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.

I'm so glade we don't have that system here. A random waiter seats us, random waiter 2 takes our order, random waiter 3 brings our tea, random waiter 4 brings our first course, random waiter 5 brings our second course, random waiter 6 brings the bill, random waiter 7 takes the bill, and random waiter 8 brings desert. (Sometimes random waiter 4 and 6 are the same person.) But seriously, that's stupid. ._. Beauty equals people skills not. At least you'll make a deal more.

Wow... wat an ass. That's alright though, the translation: "Sorry hun, the guys coming through want a **** that'll make their wives jealously drape themselves over their husbands in protection. Good for business."

I'm not saying I agree with the manager's position, but what the hell gives you the right to call a pretty girl a ****? Because someone's attractive, they're automatically slutty? Jerk.
