Definitely an outlier, and really, it is surprising to me, too–I’m just not surprised that the dancer gets the short end of the stick, ultimately. I hate this story.

Essentially the way it seems to work there is that you have no real schedule in terms of where and when you show up, but you can’t leave without paying when you get there. (If that is inaccurate – certainly what the judges took away). Specifically much was made of the fact that one could (in theory) work in “10 different clubs in 10 days” as well as the fact that Ms. Lewis had apparently not worked at that club before, nor was she “invited” to work there that night (I’m not exactly sure what an invitation would consist of, actually. “Dear Ms. Lewis: Club Platinum requests the pleasure of your company….”) What was missing from the decision (although not from the dissent) was any reference to any of the myriad decisions on this exact topic that have already been made; I found that absence full out suspicious. While none of the decisions were from South Carolina, surely they should have some persuasive value?

Oh I did particularly like the way they framed her case as “creative” when in fact it kind of seems more like that court is kind of the outlier. Outlyer? Out-lyer? I don’t know. I think my point stands.
