(Switzerland) Pizza maker under fire for 'sexy' delivery staff

A pizza company is taking flak in the canton of Vaud for advertising for young and pretty women to deliver its products.

Bulldog Pizza is opening soon in Nyon, a town between Geneva and Lausanne, promising to deliver pizzas and sandwiches to businesses and homes.

But its plan to hire solely young women for deliveries has provoked the ire of Magaly Hanselmann, an official with the canton of Vaud responsible for gender equality, 20 Minutes reported online on Tuesday.

“It is shocking: we are confronted here with a case that could be one of direct discrimination,” Hanselmann is quoted by the newspaper as saying.

The pizza company has advertised in French for “female delivery people, women only . . . of excellent appearance, young and go-getting”.

Hanselmann said the text poses not only a problem with the law on equality but it puts potential employees in a dangerous situation.

Can we hire some of them instead of Elad and Mirt to deliver pizzas on DU?

In both cases,

When it's good, it's fantastic.

And when it's bad, ... it's still pretty damn good.

Because hot women are the only ones who could be assaulted or murdered...

Or not.
