The Best Reactions to the Search for Miss Potato Corner 2023
Potato Corner got fried over the weekend, and not in a good way. The french fries giant's recent job posting for a service crew member drew flack for its discriminatory requirements.
Potato Corner was ridiculed for its, let's say, interesting criteria for such. The brand has since apologized for the Miss Universe-esque requirements, saying that it values a culture of inclusivity and diversity among its employees. The said job posting was an oversight and did not go through the proper channels, it said.
In a release, Potato Corner said that it felt embarrassed about the inappropriate job ad. "Discriminatory hiring is not something we support or condone, and not aligned [with] who we are. We're all about providing equal opportunities for all, and giving fair recognition and reward to effort, attitude, potential, and creating positive outcomes."
It added: "We deeply regret the incident and we're reviewing our procedures, teaming up with our valued business partners, franchises, and suppliers to make sure that situations like this won't happen again."
The job ad almost feels like one for a flight attendant or a beauty contest, as people have pointed out. Of course, the internet came up with the appropriate response.
