Daniel says he’s never going back to TGI Fridays (Picture: Caters)

A teenager who was asked if he’d have sex with his parents during a job interview for TGI Fridays has now been named.

Daniel Dougherty, an 18-year-old from Derby, was apparently left ‘gobsmacked’ when interviewers asked him if he’d ‘rather watch his parents have sex for a year or join in just for the start’.

TGI Fridays employers also apparently asked him: ‘Would you rather shit a brick or cry a glass?’

He had gone to an interview event last Sunday with a number of other hopefuls, where they had to take part in challenges such as balloon making.




However Daniel, an apprentice engineer, was then given the bizarre 10-minute grilling by a member of staff who is believed to be a bartender.

‘The questioning started quite normally, and he asked for my previous experience,’ Daniel said. ‘But after five minutes the interviewer began plucking questions out of thin air.

‘When he asked me if I would sleep with my parents for a year or just join in for the start, my stomach turned and I told him it was wrong and I wasn’t going to answer.

‘Then then asked if I’d rather shit a brick or cry a glass, and I just stared at him open-mouthed.

‘It was quickly followed by, would I eat chocolate-flavoured shit or shit-flavoured chocolate. I humoured him by saying “chocolate-flavoured shit”, but then stood up to go.’

The disgraced chain has since apologised to Daniel, and the member of staff responsible has been suspended.

‘Would you rather s*** a brick or cry glass?’

‘Would you rather eat chocolate flavoured s*** or s*** flavoured chocolate?’

A spokesperson for the restaurant chain said: ‘Fridays offers an industry-leading recruitment process, and this incident fell severely below our high standards.

‘The questions posed during the interview with the candidate are absolutely not part of TGI Friday’s interview process and we were very disappointed to learn of this incident.

‘Immediate action was taken, with the person involved suspended.

‘We have apologised to the candidate for the experience and offered them the opportunity to re-interview with us, which we hope they will take up.’

But although they offered Daniel another interview at the Derby Intu Centre branch, he has vowed never to go there again.

‘I’m definitely not taking the offer of their second interview, and I probably won’t go there to eat either,’ he said.
