The Trendy Shrimp soon removed the posters, although its general manager Lan Shenggang stood by his marketing strategy.

“Once the promotion started, customer numbers rose by about 20%," he reportedly said, adding that “some of the girls we met were very proud - they had nothing to hide”.

He even felt it necessary to point out that he allowed customers seeking the discount to negotiate it with his female staff rather than the males, so that they could “avoid embarrassment”.

Thanks, Lan.
