Bar criticised for 'sexist' job ad: 'Not only illegal but a clear indication you will be harassed daily'

A bar in New Zealand is being questioned after a "sexist" job ad appeared in its window.

The ad, which appeared in the window of the venue, was photographed and shared on Twitter where it was quickly labelled "sexist".

It reads: "WANTED: Part-time bar staff apply within. Must have double D breasts, a great smile and a good attitude, but men can also apply!!!"

A photo of the ad was shared on Twitter along with the caption: "Anyone want a job in Hokitika?"

The name of the venue hasn't been confirmed although it has been suggested in the conversation that took place on Twitter.

One person quickly commented: "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.

Another said: "I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty spoon than work anywhere that has an ad like that."

"Not only illegal but a clear indication you will be harassed daily," one person added.

Others claimed the ad was clearly a joke to "get attention" with one person commenting: "People need to chill."

To this one person explained: "I completely get the fact it was intended with humour - but how many young girls walk past there every day and see that sign? How many young boys walk past there and will assume it's ok to "require" girls to have a specific measurement as a minimum. Very funny har har."

"I will assume that 'good attitude' means willing to use great smile at all times in response to sexist comments and general groping," added another.

The alleged venue has been contacted by 9Honey for comment.
