A PUB boss has joked about using the tears of snowflakes to open more restaurants after being slammed for whining about lazy workers.
Craig Harker, 34, took to Facebook live on Tuesday to respond to trolls after posting a no-nonsense job ad for positions at in Stockton-on-Tees, near Middlesbrough.
In the ad, Craig said he was fed up of jobseekers turning up for interviews "stinking of drink or p**s".
He fired back at criticism of his ad today, saying he "thrives off" people criticising him and says trolls hate him because he's successful.
The business owner defended the vacant job announcement, stating he was just being honest after encountering people who have rocked up to interviews with "stinking breath" or "stinking pits".
Craig explained he was merely encouraging people to turn up to the interview smart, and "dress to impress".
He said: "If you can't cope with that, you pack of snowflakes on there, don't apply for the job."
Craig took the chance to reiterate the importance of being kind

"It's nice to be nice."
But despite encouraging a positive attitude, Craig says the cruelness of others doesn't bother him - in fact, it's his biggest motivator.
He went on to reference Pixar movie Monsters, Inc. - and said in the same way Sully and Mike collect tears to create energy, he uses the tears of snowflakes to keep expanding.
"My tanks are for snowflakes, I fill them up with all these bad comments and I use it all for energy.
"I use all of them snowflake tears and I use them to go and open more businesses, more successful businesses."
WORK ETHIC TO SUCCEED
The job advert referenced by Craig had recently garnered public interest for its straight-talking approach.
"You've all seen the George on FB and know the awesome food we knock out. Parmo's banging, Smash Burgers Unreal and Unbelievable Sunday Dinners," it began.
"Have you worked in a kitchen? Are you a chef or cook? Are you a quick learner and not one for these that need showing again and again and again and still get it f**King wrong lol we need people who can hit the ground running.
"Don't know how much time we've wasted on the wrong people so please only apply if you have the work ethic to succeed."
He added that since chefs are a "dying breed" due to leaving the industry in droves, Craig is prepared to "personally put the time and effort in to train the right people".
He said: "You must be smart, presentable and not come in absolutely stinking of drink or p**s after a night out.
"It doesn't take much to wash and look after your presentation, I'll even throw in a tooth brush and a George chefs jacket. If you need a mint before the interview then there's a shop next door.
"If you feel your pits are a little fruity then nip and buy some deodorant quickly before the interview."
Craig is expanding the Stockton-On-Tees based bar to locations across Co Durham, North Yorks and the Yorkshire coast.
