Yep.
Seriously. It's true.
Once again, proving that we are at the service providers mercy, and we, as Americans, are willing to take it, Jetblue made a woman exit the plane, escorted her to a hanger, made her lift her shirt to prove she was wearing shorts under her long I-got-up-early-to-get-on-this-goddamn-flight shirt. Then they went back to the plane, where the pilot said he would not fly the plane with her on it, and get off the plane. Again.
This service industry bounced a woman because they THOUGHT, didn't even know, she wasn't wearing underwear. Or was it a control thing? Hmmmmm. Could it have possibly been a bit of the ' Our customers are cattle!' attitude that is oh, so widespread in the airline industry?
You realize that this sort of behavior is going to bleed over into other service industries, right? Its already prevalent in the health industry, and it's coming soon to a Burger Hut near you. Make no mistake. Once giant corporations realize that the masses will take this shit from them, its on, people. Wallyworld will have a dress code. Burger Hut will have a Blondes Only bathroom.
She is suing, and I hope its for a lot of dough, and I hope she wins, but what I really want is for this story to go viral. Embarrass the shit out of Jetblue, because this CANNOT happen. We, as consumers, should not be treated this way. She paid money to be demeaned. She paid for the privilege. And if they are allowed to get away with it, and keep getting away with it, this same thing WILL be happening to you. And if that is what you want from the guy that sells you a TV, or the plumber, or the chick that does your nails, then awesome. But if you don't, then be prepared to be inconvenienced, because that is their only weapon. And they love to use it. Be ready. Have a lawyer and a newspaper on your speed dial. Don't scream. Don't act all crazy. Just take it, express yourself intelligently, and calmly, and GET FUCKING PICTURES.
So, when you see this sort of thing, don't give these companies your dollars. Don't fly Jetblue. Try Southwest. They seem cool.

remember that to work in the Disney parks they control what you wear right down to your underwear! And if they don't do that anymore, they certainly do control everything you do and say, how you look, etc... And when this does leak out in the press, they quickly deny, or take it out of the rule book... But we both now it doesn't change crap! Remember what those mostfunplaceonearth employees told us about their jobs? How miserable they were, how they felt stuck, etc...
Stay on your soap box honey, I love reading you!
wow. more power to this lady if she didnt take off her panties and shove em down those bastards throats! cuz thats what i would have done while saying,"now im not wearing any fuck face!"
Gotta do something. What sucks is I went off on Southwest a couple months later. Be nice if these fuckers would stop letting me down. Asshole airlines.
