Source – A waitress at East Side Mario’s in Timmins, Ont., claims a female manager unfairly demanded she wear a bra at work.
“It’s a violation of my rights as a person to dictate my undergarments,” says Geneviève Loiselle, who started working at the chain restaurant in May.She alleges the manager took her aside before her shift on Sept. 2 and told her she needed to wear a bra as part of her work uniform.
She alleges the manager took her aside before her shift on Sept. 2 and told her she needed to wear a bra as part of her work uniform.
“She like literally was looking right at my breasts and said, ‘Well, Gen, I can clearly see that you’re not wearing a bra and that you have nipple piercings,'” says Loiselle.
The 22-year-old describes herself as smaller-chested and finds going braless more comfortable. She believes it’s every woman’s right to choose if she wants to wear the undergarment.
Loiselle says the manager also told her that two customers and a coworker had complained about her braless appearance, and that East Side Mario’s is a family restaurant.Loiselle says the manager also told her that wearing a bra is part of the restaurant’s dress code, but when she asked to see the policy, she found it actually mentioned nothing about bras.

“As if you would impose servers to wear a thong. No you can’t do that, it’s undergarments,” says Loiselle. “I just felt judged from the start.”
Well, I guess you did, and I for one stand with you in your effort to never wear a bra and show your nipple piercings at work. Hey, Bada Boom Bada Bing.
People thought Sir Issac Newton was a witch when he suggested gravity was a thing. People said Da Vinci was a crazy bastard for inventing helicopters. Now, these people are considered the smartest people in the world and vanguards in human history.
I’d put Gen Loiselle in that category. Just a woman with small boobs that won’t buy into conventional bra thinking looking to blaze her own tittay trail one all you can eat salad at a time.
Haul those things out Gen and you stay strong. I’m counting on you being in Timmins when I come up there to visit friends in two weeks.
And by the way, what kind of loser complained about seeing too much breast. An old lady, angry women, the local Reverend? They should be banned from East Side Marios forever.
