DON'T SPEND YOUR $$ HERE!!!!

My recent stay in Wyoming left me with a bad taste of the entire state all because of my stay at this hotel. I am an avid traveler and have always enjoyed my stay in Casper because of the people I have met there. I am disappointed and shocked at the decrease in professionalism of the management at the Parkway. I have stayed here many times and always like the feel of home I received during my stay. This last visit I feel I have to share so that no one else supports or spends their hard earned money on IGNORANCE. This Friday morning I was checking my email in the business center and I overheard a manager discussing the new "size and weight" policies. I heard a woman discussing they will no longer purchase uniforms over the size 14 for employees. She then continued to say that the new ownership wants to get rid of the obese employees because of appearance and health issues. It seems that the employees are hired and employed based on their weight and appearance. I am a health and fitness instructor that has seen the struggles that the best people in the world have with their health and weight. Not only is it demeaning to hire based on weight but it is immoral as well. I would be happy to employee every one of my clients based on their ability to do their work and their core values. Supporting someone’s efforts to live a healthier life is commendable, but treating someone like they are unworthy or unequal based on their size is disgusting! I am deeply concerned that a business would find this ethical and morally acceptable. I hope that others will think twice before booking with this hotel. In 2009, discrimination of this sort is unacceptable.
