A waitress sued a Hooters restaurant franchisee Gulf Coast Wings, Inc. because they gave her a toy Yoda doll as a contest prize instead of the Toyota car she was expecting. Jodee Berry won a contest to see who could sell the most beer 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. Being the top seller, 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. Jodee didn't take
the joke too well. After the stunt, Berry quit the restaurant and filed a
lawsuit alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. I wonder who's laughing now.
