A Zealand bar is starting to receive backlash after posting a job ad specifically looking for women with “double D breasts” and a “great smile.”
According to the NY Post, the advertisement was seen at Stumpers Bar and Cafe in Hokitika. A person passing by the sign shared the photo to Twitter and it quickly went viral.

“WANTED: Part-time bar staff apply within,” the job posting read. “Must have double D breasts, a great smile, and a good attitude, but men can also apply!!!”
“I honestly cannot believe someone would be brave enough to put out an advert like that. Really sets the scene for what the culture would be like I imagine,” one Twitter user wrote.
According to the New Zealand publication Stuff, the ad could be in breach of the Human Rights Commission’s Human Rights Act of 1993, which states: “Employers can’t prefer a specific gender to fill a position unless the employer can prove that gender is a genuine occupational qualification.”
The controversial job ad even garnered the attention of a local politician, who told Stuff that it did not reflect the values of the area.
“I am certainly prepared to say that sort of advertising is disappointing and inappropriate,” deputy mayor David Carruthers stated. “I am very surprised. It is not a good look, and hopefully, they have got rid of it.”
