A Story About A Waitress Who Sued Hooters For Giving Her A Toy Yoda Instead Of Toyota Is Going Viral Again

That was a cruel prank on a low wage worker, glad she got something in return!

This is an 18 year old story that I've seen elsewhere dozens of times.

Not surprising for a company that views women as a commodity to sell cheap.

Hooter got the publicity they wanted.

If the "contest" said Toyota, and not toy Yoda, then she had every right to be furious. I'd have done the same thing.

I always thought the story itself was the April Fool's Day joke.

Wow, I feel stupid saying this because I am a woman-- but at the Hooters here in Arizona you have to have Hooters to work at Hooters. The waitresses look like models at our Hooters. Anyway the Manager that set up the contest would have to be a total tool to do that to that.

She looks pissed, that's for sure. But good on her for standing up herself. And I wonder if she kept the Toy Yoda? Maybe she's negotiating a price with someone right, while she drives to meet them in her new Toyota.

The commenter saying it would be worth more then the car now.... It's not officially licensed and it was MASSIVELY over produced. You can still buy one for about $40. It's gone up like $10 in value.

Settlebdown people, they're selling for about $40 on eBay right now.

What a nasty prank to play. You never know someone's financial situation fully, that could have been absolutely life changing for her. I'm glad she stuck through and took them to court...not an easy task by any means

She wanted transport and found the prospect if driving a toy yoda challenging and too slow to get her to work on time.

It wasn't specified Toyota or Toy Yoda. If neither side specified, restaurant should have won. I dont cate how good you are, no one can sell enough beer in a month at a restaurant that justifies a new freaking car. She won cause she's a woman. If it was a dude, they'd have said tough s**t.

Just like the boy that was supposed to win a jet in a Pepsi give away. They stiffed him they didn’t even pay him for all the Pepsi he purchased 😡

I have Toyota which ironically the creators name is Toyoda - apparently Toyota is luckier because it is written in 8 strokes which is lucky in that part of the world ... either way Toyota or Toyoda still equals a car you can drive.

Toy yoda sounds like Toy ota. I would have let her take it to court.

2001? How timely.

I remember this. Typucal...but what do you expect from a business that m a Dr it's money degrading women?à

Only in America

The headline "A story about a waitress who sued Hooters for giving her a toy Yoda instead of a Toyota is going viral again" No it's not, Bored Panda. You're just really bored (and clicks = revenue).

Sorry but she looks like Amiee Mullins as Terry Ives.

See? This is why I don’t date anymore. Women are always trying to throw a tantrum over the most absurd things... 🙄

OMG her face is priceless! I've seen this prank so many times and it never gets old! 🤣
