Feds force something new on Lawry's: Male servers

After more than 70 years, something new will be coming to local Lawry's The Prime Rib, a popular River North restaurant -- male servers.

Hopefully, considering the teams abject futility, the Chicago cubs will now hire women to play baseball. This could end their long tradition of buffonic losing.

This begs the question- will any women lose their jobs because of this? I see nothing wrong with male servers, but if it puts someone else out of work, where's the fairness in that?

If Hooters were to go with male servers the joints would be packed with Republican Senators and Congressmen.

A family owned business is exempt from federal anti-discrimination laws if it employs only family members. If one person is employed, not related in familial manner, they become subject to all Federal mandates regarding employment discrimination. This protects all Americans from unwanted bigotry in the work place.
