"Shoot - I forgot to mention I nurse at Hooters too!!!
<wide grin>"

Can't fool me with that one, Michelle.  A few years
ago a nursing mother 4 months postpartum contacted me
after being fired from Hooters for being a
breastfeeding mother.  Her female supervisor was
impressed with her "presentation" until the mother
confided it was due to lactation, not implants...  The
reaction was cold and the mother was dismissed the
next day.  There was a bit more to the harassment, all
nursing related.  The mother initially pursued legal
channels, then shifted course due to stress, finances,
and stress-related milk supply issues.  The woman
never considered nursing or pumping on the job.  The
problem was that she used her breasts to feed her baby
in her off-hours.  The supervisor advised the mother
that this was not the sort of image Hooters wished to
portray.

Can't make this stuff up.

Susan
