CP is NOT making the statement that she finds overweight people unattrative; she is (if I read it right) simply pointing out that businesses tend to hire public-interactive employees who meet the model of standard attractiveness determined by the prevailing cultural concepts of WHAT SELLS.
Her restaurant example was perfect. Outside of show biz, I have found the hawtest of the hot to work, ironically in my opinion, waiting tables.
As for my personal explanation of the fit-the-role hiring practice, it's simply a matter of scrawny boys being shunted away from the canoe ride, and boys of any type being barred from serving on a Storybook Land boat. Guys with good legs would wear the Zlick-required laderhosen to get those Matterhorn jobs, and those with chicken legs might find themselves behind a turkey-leg ODV cart.
And, yes, every cast member would have to meet the standards of grooming that comprise the "Disney Look." On top of that, the cuter you were by mass-audience standards, the more likely to get a job in entertainment or a position of high public interaction, such as the tour guide position. I would treat attractions casting like actual casting, and standard qualities of good looks would indeed factor in. (Life's rough, and I myself would have to work in food service.)
My entertainment venture hiring practices are quite different from my friend determination practices, so please don't confuse the two.
