Thats like betting 500 dollars but when you lose you pay with 500 Doll Hairs.
Some people have no sense of humor.
I remember when that happened. It wasn’t just like a little contest…the waitresses did tons of extra work in the hopes of getting the car and it all turned out to be the owners trying to get that extra work for the cost of the Yoda doll. Funny? Yes. Fair? They knew what they were doing…scamming their waitresses into cheap additional work.
From the look on her face infidel, I think she’d hit you back.
Just not in the way that you’d want her to.
How did she get a job at Hooters anyway?
I have such a warped sense of humor I found this funny. If it would have been me I would have laughed uncontrollably when they took the blindfold off.
But I also feel for her if she worked her butt off to win and thought she had actually won a car! That would be like ripping Santa’s beard off at a toddler’s Christmas party.
Anyone know if she won her lawsuit?
@Old Greg
Yeah, she doesn’t look very qualified.
…anyone know if she won her case?
oh yeah, sue for winning a gag prize. she’s got a face like a wet arse.
encor: she ‘settled out of court for an undisclosed amount’. This actually made it onto snopes.com along with several other similar cases
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) – A former waitress has settled a lawsuit against Hooters, which she said promised to award her a new Toyota but instead gave her a toy Yoda.
An attorney for Jodee Berry said Wednesday that he could not immediately disclose the settlement’s details.
“She’s satisfied with it,” said the attorney, David Noll. He did say that Berry can now go to a local car dealership and “pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.”
Berry, 27, won a beer sales contest in last May at the Panama City Beach Hooters. She believed she had won a new Toyota car.
She was blindfolded and led to the restaurant parking lot, but when the blindfold was removed, she found she was the winner of a toy Yoda Star Wars doll.
Berry quit the restaurant a week later and filed a lawsuit in August against Gulf Coast Wings, Inc., the corporate owner of the local Hooters, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.
The restaurant’s manager, Jared Blair, has said the whole contest was an April Fools’ joke.
This settlement is unusual in that Hooters did not ask for a sweeping confidentiality agreement, Noll said.
“I think that’s a recognition of the fact that there’s been such an amazing amount of attention focused on this case,” he said. “There’s not a whole lot of reason to try to hide its existence.”

She settled out of court for a Han Solo doll and a scale model of the Death Star.
