Damn you'd have to work there for like...forever, to make $300k. They probably didn't want to hire him because employees get food discounts and his hearty appetite would cut into their operating costs.
Yeah regardless of how heavy you think you are if you could stand to HALVE your body weight to bring your BMI to a reasonable level I think it's safe to say you need to start excercising.

Since when was being grossly obese a disability?
SHEESH!!
And if his weight interferes with him doing his job, or interferes with someone else doing theirs, then any company should have the right not to hire him.
I hate when stuff like this happens.

I think McDonalds wouldn't hire him because they were afraid he'd be eating all the time.
A manager offered Connor a position as cook during the closing shift for $6.75 per hour, and Connor accepted, the lawsuit said.
However, over ensuing weeks, Connor claimed that after arrangements were made for him to get a uniform, he never got a call from management again.
LOL!@!

If he actually weighs that much I wonder if he could stand on his feet all day and perform his duty. I have health problems myself but I don't apply for a position that I know I can't physically do and then turn around and try to sue the company when they don't hire me. We all have limitations we just need to work around them.

Yeah, they were prolly waiting for HIS fat butt to walk in the door!!!
Even if he's the perfect candidate for the job, the company has no obligation to hire him. Consider this: Let's say as an employer, I want to hire someone to cook and clean for $20 an hour. Since it is MY money, whom I hire/whom I give the money to is completely up to me. If I so desire, I can hire only people with downsyndrome, or only whites, or only straight people. I possess the RIGHT to descriminate who gets MY money. It may not be politically correct, and it may not be good for me to hire person A if person B does a better job for the same pay. Nonetheless - I, nor any company, has an obligation to provide jobs for people regardless of whether they qualify or not. McDonalds could have descriminated against the fact that he was fat, sure, and most people would agree that such reasons are asinine, but who McDonalds hires is up to them. SO the whole descrimination in the workplace is nonsense, because even if it blatantly exists who a company hires is up to the company... even if they are "politically incorrect" they can use whatever standards to hire people that they want (blond hair, huge breasts, nice ass). it's their money.
