The Borgata, the luxurious, relatively new Atlantic City resort that is the fading gambling city's hope that it can compete with Las Vegas, will be firing waitresses if they gain weight. The NY Posts that the "Borgata babes," aka "costumed beverage servers" so they can be considered part of the hotel's "marketing campaign," will be weighed in on Monday, and if they are over 7% of their starting weight, they'll be canned. This new rule actually applies to the female waitresses as well as the male and female bartenders. And, hey, Borgata, what about the weight they'll gain if they get implants?
Gothamist laughed at the spacing in a quote from Borgata management in the Post's online edition; this is totally their spacing: "Our customers like being served by an attractive cock tail server." On that note, check out Red Peters, the musician who has a song, "How's Your Whole Family?" (lyrics). It's bathroom humor, so you're warned.

Jesus! Do you see some of the 'winners' that go to these casinos and hog up 3 slot machines at a time? I don't think the cocktail servers are who we should be concerned with.
Those "winners" are actually losers most of the time and therefore generate revenue for the casino. The customer is always right.
Went there once, on an adventure trip to A/C ... thought we'd hit the borgata. What a joke, it looks like the inside of a new mall, everything's all bland, and beige. the only way to tell the different restaurants from the clubs are the differnet logo/neon signs in front.
And it's filled with these jersey guido douche high roller wanna-be's, they're so funny, and all so damn serious. nobody looks like they're having fun. Went to the sands instead, smelled like stale smoke, a bit run-down, a little bit of history to it, and the waitresses were the mother's of the Borgata waitresses and were a lot more fun.
Didn't some female card dealer in Vegas get canned for not wearing makeup?
No, she was a bartender...
Given the outfits they put the "cock tail" servers in, it seems like they wouldn't have to bother with weigh ins. Two spare pounds, you're busting right out of it. And Borgata should be more concerned about their piped-in music. What kind of casino plays "Brick" by Ben Folds Five and "The Scientist" by Coldplay? Trick me into thinking I'm having fun while I lose money, please.
I can't wait for one of them to get pregnant, get fired, then sue on those grounds rather than the fat ones.
They will not get fired for pregnanct or medical conditions.
They will wear different uniforms until they have the baby, though.
