Review the details below about the legal case EEOC v. Mike Fink Corp., 2000, and answer the questions below with a few sentences each.

A southern seafood chain, King of the Walk, used an 1800s riverboat theme. The waiters, dressed in period costume, were meant to represent the legendary fighters who brawled for the privilege of steering the riverboats, which gained them the title for the best-of-the-best, or "King of the Walk". Only males were hired as servers because, as the Mike Fink Corporation, the owner of the chain, explained, women did not work on the riverboat crews in the 1800s.

Sue Mathis applied for a server job at one of the chain’s restaurants, arriving with a hidden recorder that taped a restaurant manager turning her down for a server position because she was a woman. At Mathis’ request, the EEOC sued Mike Fink Corporation for sex discrimination.
