   Some people do dumb things and really don’t realize how dumb they are. I suspect that the owner of Cafe Royale falls into this classification. After listening to his phone conversations on a TV news story, my first thought was, “This guy is a pig.” But I did not know at that time that Cafe Royale was a topless bar. So, anybody who owns a topless bar is a pig on that basis alone, regardless of what ignorant words he might also speak. But again, I believe he probably doesn’t know he is a pig and should be forgiven. And while I do not condone his actions or his behavior as it relates to firing or demoting this pregnant woman; she must also consider the possibility that she is expecting a pig to treat her with respect which is nothing more than wishful thinking on her part. I can’t imagine that a woman gets any kind of respect working in a topless bar even if she is not topless. But this is just my opinion and has nothing to do with any knowledge or lack of knowledge I have in New York’s employment laws. While I believe Ms. Paviglinitti probably has a legitimate cause of action against the bar owner, I pray that she will find other employment in which she does not have to tolerate working in such conditions.
