No, I’m not really asking.

But apparently some managers were asking waitresses in NYC and tracking their weight in spreadsheets. It’s really hard to have a decent sense of self when your manager seems to care about your weight.

From Weightress Outrage at Pub:

Both women said only female workers were singled out for the weigh-ins and questions about their weight, and that it was done without explanation. And they claim the managers would criticize waitresses - but not waiters - for ordering fatty fried food for their own dinners.

They also claim that waitresses’ individual weights were tracked on a computer spreadsheet - and the results placed on a Web site that tracked the weights of waitresses in other establishments in the city. “I’ve been doing sexual-harassment law for 20 years, and this has to be the most egregious case of degradation to women that I have ever seen,” said the women’s lawyer, Rosemarie Arnold. “It’s unbelievable.”
