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

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.

you deserve it for being ugly. ugly people are the scum of the universe

Anyone who makes that kind of comment, 43, has to be uglier than anyone they're commenting on. Go **** yourself. And don't try to back out of that comment because we all know you're just a shallow motherfucking bitch who has nothing better to do with their lives than insult people they know nothing about.

Plus hostessing sucks. Serving sucks sometimes, but hostessing sucks all of the time.

I don't know why people are getting so upset about this. It's just good business skills. Think about it. Your hostess is at the front door, the first thing people see when they walk in. You want her to make a good impression on people. Pretty, bubbly, smiling, friendly, well put together. Many people walk into restaurants not sure if they want to eat there, and a good hostess can make them stay :)

I think it's more the phrasing than the business practice. He could have said it in a way that didn't imply she was unattractive.

Why would you rather be a hostess? They make dick, maybe 1/4 of a server.
