A landlord has sparked reaction after advertising a job but insisting 'no snowflakes'. A board offering the work at The Queen Anne in Golborn, Warrington was placed outside the pub.
But it spelled out anyone applying for the position as a new chef should not be a 'snowflake'. It said: "Chef wanted. Please ask inside for details. No snowflakes please!!", reports the Manchester Evening News.
The pub has also posted a picture of the advertising board on Facebook. It says in its post: "We are still looking for chefs to join our busy kitchen team.
"So if you want to be involved with serving and making the best homemade food that golborne (Sic) has to offer, are hardworking and not a snowflake pop in and have a chat with us or drop us a message."
The pub describes itself as "a small family run free house in the north of England that prides ourselves in serving good beer and great food". However its advert seemed to have split opinion.
One user enthusiastically commented: "Snowflakes are taking over the world". However another seemed more miffed at the sign and grumbled: "I genuinely hope you find no one."
Another asked: "Still looking cause they're all snowflakes?". While a different user asked for clarity, saying: "Please define your snowflake."
But Landlord, Christopher Darnbrough told The Manchester Evening News they are simply looking for a hard worker: "Since the lockdown we have had a lot of flaky people who don't want to work and just breeze in and out and are constantly wanting time off, he says. "Most people have seen the funny side."
