Boss should be careful how he treats his employees. Otherwise you ask them for coffee, they will bring you cough-ee. 😂

They gave her a Toyota (Toy Yoda) and she replied Isuzu (I sues U). 😁

Come to think of it, Toy Yoda does sound like Toyota if the speaker has a lousy pronunciation.

Maybe she can sue for lousy English?

Of course, that's the "joke".

Aynyway, I'm not a lawyer. I assume this was just a verbal thing (that's the only way confusion can reasonably persist). But even a verbal contract must involve a meeting of the minds. If she can prove there was none and her interpretation is more reasonable, then she can easily win. As she did.

The force is... not that strong with this one.

26-year-old Jodee Berry worked at a popular restaurant in the US, Hooters. In order to drum up some competition between the staff, managers decided to start a competition to see who could sell the most beer in a month. The winner to receive a new Toyota. Jodee won the competition, out-selling her coworkers.

To claim her prize, Jodee was blindfolded and led to the restaurant’s parking lot. But, when the blindfold was removed, Jodee was devastated to find that the prize was, in fact, not a Toyota automobile but rather a toy Yoda, a Star Wars doll.

Jodee quit her job and decided to sue her former employers, for fraudulent misrepresentation. She won and the suit was settled for an undisclosed amount of money, however, one of the lawyers in the case said the amount could easily have her head to the car dealership to “pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.”

Why you don't want me. 😥

Erm....The former employer never counter-sue her for fraudulent misrepresentation as well?

I'm sure she kept that too. 

By the way it's a true story. I snope-d it. Company claimed it was an April Fool's joke. Well, joke was on them. 

I actually support the woman. She must've worked damn hard to win. Companies that play pranks like this massively demotivate employees rather than incentivising them.

Doc, when I come to work for you, please make sure no pranks.

Otherwise, will make sure we employees eat our chicken rice and byrani in your McLaren / Felali / MeCeDe (AMG). 

No expect us to foot the cleaning bill.
