“Disgust.” A hotel owner asks to see the “curves” of a waitress candidate

ShA job offer in Spain sparks controversy on social media. The situation was reported by the popular account on the social network X (formerly Twitter) owned by the author of the book ‘Soy Camarero’, and sparked criticism from users.

The discussion revolves around a hotel owner who was looking for a waitress to “work in a bikini” after he requested photos of the candidate’s body to see her “curves”.

The hotel owner said: “We need waitresses to work in the hot pool all the time in bikinis. I need girls with good bodies. Send us a picture from the front and back so we can see the curves. Thank you.” WhatsApp messages have been published.

The candidate quickly asked: “But, let’s see, isn’t the job a waitress? A waitress who works in a bikini? I don’t think that’s necessary. What’s the name of the swimming pool?”

“We’re a hotel, girl. We work that way here, if you’re not interested, don’t worry,” she replied, prompting the candidate to say she would “send” an inspection of the space.

The businessman asks “how” and the candidate decides to confront him.

“If you as a businessman want to ask your potential employees to take photos to see if they would apply for the job because of their body, contacting the inspection team and giving the name of the hotel and your phone number will certainly solve the problem quickly.” I finish.

The post was released on Wednesday and has already gone viral, garnering more than 166,000 views. “The worst thing is that it is very common,” “Is this legal? I mean it is not ethical… but it is legal?” “And on top of that arrogantly, because they know that the labor inspectorate will not do it.” Anything”, “What a horror”, “What a mixture of fear and disgust this has caused me”, read some of the comments.
