Middle-aged waitresses are suing the Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, alleging that they were let go because they didn't look as good as younger colleagues in new skimpy costumes.
The discrimination suit alleges Resorts new owner, Dennis Gomes, created a "sham evaluation process" in which cocktail servers auditioned in new outfits in a Roaring '20s theme and were judged on their appearance by a modeling agency representing the casino.
Resorts Casino defended its practice, stating that the new costumes are a "critical aspect" in rebranding the hotel into a Roaring '20s theme. "All cocktail servers were given individual consideration and the selection process was conducted in a fair and objective manner," said the hotel, in a statement. "We empathise with the cocktail servers who lost their jobs and gave them hiring preference in other open positions at Resorts. Some took advantage of this offer and some did not."
Seven former cocktail servers are listed as plaintiffs. Fifteen women were let go after the modeling agency's evaluation.
"As far as I'm concerned, a man or woman can do that job at any age as long as they have a good personality, a good memory and good balance," Kevin Costello, a New Jersey attorney representing the plaintiffs, told the paper.
The plaintiffs are seeking to be reinstated with full pay and unspecified damages.
What do you think, was it discrimination?

We left the camera when we went to dinner in the evening, when we watched it about three balls later what sounded.
