Ha ha this thread is great. I got my second job ever about two years ago and I will tell you from experience from working with a lot of fat people that yes, fat people are lazy. But not just fat people, we had a "vegan" punk rock deuche who didn't go by "societie's" rules work with us. That ****er was just as lazy.

I attribute lack of willpower and inability to do something simple like not eating that Twinkie for a midnight snack. I also assume one doesn't have his priorities straight as one's health should be #1....superseded maybe by one's own family only. Fatties also indicate possible depression and who wants a depressed employee?
And specifically to the restaurant industry it's just damn hard to move around if you're large. So if you're an employee would you discriminate against a fat person?

Its probably more like an LSAT score, being a fatty would have to be accompanied by a strong resume and good references to overcome my initial read of lazy.

Also being fat effects ones mind. I'm sure there's a correlation with fatness and depression. I would rather have happy employees who care about their appearance and hygiene rather than depressed ones who let themselves go. Depressed people commit suicide and shoot up the office.
I'm an avid poker player and the correlations between appearance and behavior is often rather straightforward and obvious. The burden of proof is definitely on the fat person, and I'm still convinced the risk of losing an occasional superstar worker like you is worth avoiding the cost of hiring a lazy person that I cannot fire.

Depends on the job.
