Their employees, long-legged waitresses who strut over to tables like they're on the catwalk, are not there by accident. Just like each menu item is intricately plated, staff members are screened, says a former restaurant manager. Darren Hawker, a former assistant general manager at Moxie's Classic Grill in Toronto, said he was directed by upper management to hire busty and thin applicants, regardless of qualifications. "If I wanted to hire someone the immediate question was about their look, if they had a nice a** or a decent rack," said Hawker, a 24-year restaurant industry veteran. Hawker said front of house staff were directed to screen applicants, and mark resumes with a 110" (one-ten) if they were unattractive. (Put a diagonal line between the pair of ones and it forms "NO"). Similar practices are allegedly in place at other restaurants. While on staff at Earls Kitchen and Bar in Edmonton, Hawker said the hiring motto was "If you'd f---them, hire them." Spokesmen for both Moxie's and Earls denied hiring for looks. "It is possible that people who have come from other companies have used (the 1-10 rating code), but it is not something we endorse or teach," said Sue Thomson, vice-president of marketing at Moxie's. Ann Topp, a managing partner who helps hire staff for Earls in Toronto, said the company seeks applicants with a good first impression and experience. In the retail world, clothing chain American Apparel requires job applicants to submit photos of themselves along with their resumes. Stephanie, a former store manager in Toronto, said only well looking people are hired, regardless of experience. "Everyone is thin and attractive," said the five-foot-five, 110 pound woman, who did not want her last name published. that American Apparel would not comment, but their website: the body shots are to reflect "personal taste and fashion sensibility," and says adds, "Please remember we are open-minded and are looking for individuals who are of all shapes and sizes." Less-than-average looking people avoid even applying for jobs at certain places. While waiting for an interview at The Keg Steakhouse and Bar in Mississauga, Ont., a nicely-dressed, slightly overweight woman with serving experience and her resume in hand said, "Earls only hires models. I wouldn't even think to apply there." story below appeared in the Ioronto Sun newspaper in March 2011. After reading it, please answer the following questions: 1.
