Lawry’s ‘bias’ was ahead of its time

Re: “Lawry’s to settle bias suit,” Nov. 3:

It seems ridiculous that the Lawry’s steakhouse chain will have to pay half a million dollars to males who bused tables before 2004 and couldn’t be servers. Lawry’s was far ahead of its time in hiring women.

The same day, there was news about an article regarding the first female Beefeater guard at the Tower of London. It demonstrates how far Lawry’s is ahead of the Brits.

My recommended penalty is for Lawry’s to donate all the prime rib dinners necessary to the UCLA and USC football teams to get them back on winning tracks.
