Gag Gift No Hoot for Hooters Waitress
PANAMA CITY, Fla. - I would not have believed this story if I had not seen it on at least two separate news pages.
A waitress is suing Hooters restaurant because they gave her a toy Yoda doll as a contest prize instead of the Toyota car she was expecting.
Jodee Berry, 26, won a contest to see who could sell the most beer in April at the Hooters in Panama City Beach.
She said the top-selling waitresses from each Hooters restaurant in the area were entered into a drawing to win a Toyota.
She believed she'd won a new car.
She was blindfolded and led to the parking lot, but when her blindfold was removed she found she was not the winner of a Toyota, but a toy Yoda doll from the "Star Wars" movies.
As compensation she's asking the cost of a new Toyota.
