Customer (Man) Wears See-Through Shorts, No Underwear - Workers Sue
<snip>

SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - Former employees of Whole Foods Market have sued the natural foods supermarket operator, saying it did not take proper action to prevent a male customer from parading through a Santa Fe store wearing white, see-through biking shorts with no underwear.

Closing arguments in the case were held on Thursday.

Maria Bautista and seven other plaintiffs are suing under New Mexico's Human Rights Act, saying the store fostered an environment of discrimination and sexual harassment that caused them emotional distress. They are seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

They also claim the store ignored their complaints about a middle-aged man in the see-through, body-hugging shorts and fired one of them in retaliation for her complaint. They claim the man was not escorted out of the store even though the employees asked managers to act.

3. It's obvious managers didn't 'carrot' all...
Otherwise the customer would have 'bean' asked to leave.
