McDonald's Had Policy on Female Workers

Nearly 15 years after its founding, the
fast-food chain began hiring women --
as long as they weren't too attractive.

When Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's, finally submitted to hiring females in his restaurants nearly 15 years after the founded the chain, he reportedly insisted they be “flat-chested and unattractive women.”

A spokeswoman from McDonald’s couldn’t verify the precise quote, but she did confirm the essence of it. “He wanted to hire flatter-chested women who would be less attractive to men,” she said.
