Supersized and litigious

Weighing in on a claim of weight discrimination (specifically prohibited by state law in Michigan) a county judge refused to require former Hooters employees to arbitrate their claims. In an unrelated matter of weighty proportions a Georgia nail salon racked up negative publicity for tacking on a $5.00 surcharge to its heaviest customers. Natural Nails asserted the fee was justified because the pedicure chairs were only good up to the first 200 pounds of customer. The $5.00 surcharge was to defray cost of (inevitable?) repairs for the chair.
