I’m a pub boss and I refuse to employ people who have fruity BO, dodgy toes or who play Fifa
A PUB boss posted a straight-talking job ad saying he refuses to employ people with fruity BO, dodgy toes or anyone who plays Fifa.
Landlord Craig Harker, 35, advertised online for chefs, kitchen porters and front of house staff as he expands his chain of George Pub & Grill to venues across Teesside.
The pub boss is known for being brutal and honest with his job adverts, having previously said people with smelly pits and bad breath who stink of pee and booze need not apply to his positions.
After being "inundated" with sloppy applications, Craig once again decided to put together an unusual list of requirements in the job advert.
He said he's up for giving people a chance, even if they don't have experience, but warned applicants not to turn up to an interview with fruity body odour or stinky breath.
The job ad for the positions in Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar added: "Those that attend with that fruity B.O - it's a no go.

"Always give your pits a wash before you come down for an interview, a quick whiff and spray those bad boys.
"The key part for any interview is first impressions, don't have mine as this person clearly needs a wash and have me turning my head because of that naughty breath that stings my cheeks."
The ad said he doesn't want applicants with bad teeth.
"If those nashers are black then stay back, white and you're alright," Craig added.

"Especially when front of house greeting our customers as they walk through the doors."
He also asked applicants not to come to the interview "after a session or a big night and stinking of that last can of lager you had at 5am".
Another red flag for Craig is "dodgy looking toes" and he said staff should be good at chatting to strangers.
"We want lively, bubbly and friendly people for front of house, not people sat at home all day sitting on the latest FIFA and not leaving the house for days on end," the ad said.
"Go and get some fresh air and interact with real people!
"I don't care you've led a team on Call of Duty or Dungeons and Dragons, what real work experience do you have? If not then we have positions we can train too!"
He assured would-be staff they'll "love the banter" and said he's happy to employ vegans - as long as they don't mind serving "big juicy slabs of meat".
The pub landlord is no stranger to unusual Facebook posts and in 2019 he even posted an advert asking customers if they would punch their ex in the face for a steak.
Threatened with losing his licence, he refused to apologise and argued the posts are entertaining for his pub's 200,000+ Facebook followers.
