There are several restaurants in Canada, including Earls and the Shark Club, that are known for their good looking staff. Moreover, some restaurants have gone beyond hiring only attractive people and now enhance their employees’ sexiness with a provocative dress code. The Vancouver Sun has looked deeper into this issue and has come to the conclusion that, “Provocative clothing has become a social norm and attractive servers wearing skimpy outfits are commonplace in many sports bars and restaurants”. Should employees be forced to wear form fitting tops or skirts? This idea challenges people to question certain ethical standards, a concept mentioned in class, concerning restaurants and their employees. While many people consider this an unethical business practice, it is a strategy that companies are continuing to use because of its success. As a result, many companies who have found this technique successful disregard the notion that it may be unethical and simply think of it as good business.
