Absolutely, if you're going to continue the policy of hiring the pretty folk at least be up front about it.
The sad thing is that this episode isn't the even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this practice. It's been an unspoken rule in business for a long time. We bitch and complain about the service, or lack thereof, but the fact of the matter is for vast majority we'd rather be served and waited on by pretty people then competent. If we're lucky to get both...feather in our cap!
I have been in position to hire and fire a couple of times and although the jobs were vastly different the ideology was the same when hiring: no dogs and no fatties.
It's not right, but the company is only doing what their customer base has silently agreed with. They buy the clothes and they like to buy them from pretty people. Superficial and pretentious customers set superficial and pretentious policy. Surprise!?!
