Ok, but here's the thing. Let's say your religion required you to take a certain amount of time off. It onus is on *you* to inform your employer you'll need the time off,not the other way around. Would you expect your employer to remind you that your religious holiday is coming up? The same thing here. She wanted to…

Now you're telling them how to theme their park. For one person. Who knew the dress code and had to accept it when she was hired. (literally you sign a document saying you agree to all terms of employment.)

From the LA Times article, it looks like they offered her a Disney themed hijab that is available to all cast members on park (free of charge) and she refused. So then they tried to cover up her non- Disney non-approved hijab with a piece of uniform that was approved and themed.

It's the worst job on park. In theory I would have fit in our mascot, but since I was an inch over the acceptable height range, I never pushed the issue. Those suits are unsanitary, and beyond uncomfortable.

From the LA Time Article, they said they have a Disney themed hijab. She refused to wear it.

Please explain your logic. One is a natural part of your body, the other is a garment you brought from home that has nothing to do with your work place uniform. Disney offered her a Disney themed hijab, she turned it down.

Do you know how much training goes into skin work? It's hellish, and you have to be a certain height, build, etc. It's a miserable job, those suits are excruciatingly hot.

Agreed. Disney is THE gold standard for employee training in the Leisure industry, and at my theme park they pretty much stole their entire training program. Disney does not mess around, and their entire goal on park is to create the magic for their guests.

No it's not questionable. Her hijab was not an authorised part of the costume. I worked as a member of the ents team at an amusement park in the UK. I cannot tell you how much training we had to keep the "magic" of the park. Disney doesn't sell rides/food, it sells an experience, and they have put a LOT of money into…

It's Disney approved, much different. I've worked in the amusement park industry on the ents team. It's all about creating the illusion/magic. The minute you go off brand, that breaks the illusion they are trying to create. Their house, their rules. They offered her a Disney themed hijab, she refused. Tell me what…

That's pretty much how the entire amusement park industry rolls. If you're on park, you can be called up for duty. You agree to it when you enter without paying admission, usually.

But Fitzgerald is amazing (and one of my favorite authors). Surely he is an exception to this rule?

Oh god. At the time I thought it meant your pinky, but now that you mention it, that conversation potentially just got a lot more gross.

Oh, I have plenty of stories about the stupid, ignorant things I was told in Sunday school! Once I was told by my Sunday school teacher that that Mormon boys have more power in their pinkies than all the non-Mormon boys combined, and when I asked what power do girls have, she said "they can have babies". This was…

No joke, I grew up a Mormon, and the "Baptist" church down the road used to attempt to sabotage our sacrament meeting by keeping cars out of the parking lot, and stealing the loaves of bread they used for the sacrament.

Who are all these children who are growing up in a household where your parents make your lunch?

Yahoo news lied to me then, those bastards.

Apparently they do that to mark them/indent them. It helps them if they get stolen (dentistry records!) and it also helps them differentiate between them if they win multiple medals.

Except that Ron Swanson is a libertarian, and would never want the government getting involved in decisions a woman makes for her body. Which is why Ron Swanson is awesome, and Ryan is a turd on a stick.
