this guy has the right to work wherever he wants to work...and if he is not being hired because he's overweight then he has every right to get pissed...because he's fat he has no rights to equal opportunity?...someone else posted about this on my friend's page today... []...look at the fat man who wants to work at mcdonald's...hahahahaha!!"...like there's *anyone* who should work at mcdonald's...
Yeah, I don't know. On the one hand, it does sound like they screwed him over by telling him that he was hired and then not letting him come to work. And his weight shouldn't have been an issue; I've seen a lot of obsese people working at fast-food places with no problem. So certainly McD's is at fault. I guess I just question why he's pursuing it two and a half years after the fact--and why he still wants to work there. But hey, I don't know his situation. Maybe for whatever reason he doesn't have any other options. It really is sad (and a bit bizarre).
