A McDonald's ad in India showing a man flirting with a female cashier has sparked outrage online: 'This is outrageous and disgusting beyond words'

"Date sort of... @ Rs 179," the ad's slogan, which was promoting $2 McVeggie meals at McDonald's India, read.

OP note: Most sexual objectifying of employees happens in workplaces at the hands of the employers... I see nothing but potentially the beginning of a love story!

#मैंभी / #metoo - It seems to be this way now all over. It's "outrageous and disgusting beyond words" if she doesn't like the guy. Or if she's bitter because is/was forced into an arranged marriage with a third cousin she absolutely abhors. But her auntie-ji reminds her of her homely looks and modest dowery and the gods know what else! Or she's "charmed and flattered" if she does like him and think Daddy-ji and Mommie-ji would also think he's a suitable mate, from a good family, has decent career and is a nice Hindu boy who is also "wegeterian" as well! With any luck he won't be looking for a dowery either. Call the astrologer to compare their horoscopes, and if compatible then invite his parents for chai!

Similar senario everywhere, only cultural norms change. Disgusted and taken aback if she thinks he's ugly, and poor and beneath her. And tickled pink and gets wet and her ovaries jumping if she likes him and thinks he's a catch.

I personally though the comercial was charming and sweet. And she seemed to like him as well. A Hullabaloo over nothing. Just my 2 rupees here!
