Go ‘head Granny: A 60-year-old waitress who claimed she was fired from a Houston flesh palace because of age discrimination received a $60,000 settlement last week from her former employers. Mary Bassi was 56 and slinging drinks at the Cover Girls jiggle joint when she was let go in 2006, according to the Houston Chronicle. Bassi — who earned between the high five figures and low six figures — was canned after two male managers in their 30s joked that she was exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s and made other snarky cracks, the paper reported. Prior to being cut loose, Bassi alleged that the managers had scheduled younger waitresses to cover her shifts. The owners, denying any wrongdoing, agreed to settle the lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Bassi is now working at another Houston adult club. Good for her, but it might be time to think about working in a different type of establishment. Source
