    Hooters Waitress Sues Restaurant Because Of Yoda


    PANAMA CITY, Fla. (AP) — A former waitress has settled her lawsuit against Hooters, the restaurant that gave her a toy Yoda doll instead of the Toyota she thought she had won.

    Jodee Berry, 27, won a beer sales contest at the Panama City Beach Hooters. She believed she had won a new Toyota and happily was escorted to the restaurant’s parking lot in a blindfold.

    But when the blindfold was removed, she found she had won a new toy Yoda — the little green character from the Star Wars movies.

    David Noll, her attorney, said Wednesday that he could not disclose the settlement’s details, although he said Berry can now go to a local car dealership and “pick out whatever type of Toyota she wants.”

    After the stunt, Berry quit the restaurant and filed a lawsuit against Gulf Coast Wings, the restaurant’s corporate owner, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation.

    The restaurant’s manager, Jared Blair, has said the whole contest was an April Fools’ joke.

    Turns out, the joke was on him in the end.

    No seriously, it did.

    On April 1st, 2001, the waitresses in a Hooters restaurant in Panama City Beach, Florida were promised that whoever sold the most beer in the next month would win a new Toyota. Jodee Berry was the winner, but instead of a car, she was given a "toy Yoda" -- get it? -- that little green guy from "Star Wars."Funny joke? Bad pun? Stupid prank? Cruel trick? Ms. Berry could've chosen any of these reactions. Instead, she quit her job and sued, alleging breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. The case was recently settled, and Ms. Berry's lawyer said she received enough money to buy any Toyota she wants. Ironically, if she had kept the Yoda doll, it might have turned out to be a collector's item in twenty years. Now, she'll just have an old Toyota.
