Staten Island's Danielle Masseria (MySpace) says her "whole life changed" in June 2007 while working at an Ecko Unlimited outlet store in the Jersey Gardens mall in Elizabeth. In a sexual harassment lawsuit filed last week against the company, she says that she was humiliated by store manager Kirk Rummer, who sneaked up behind her and allegedly stuck his hands into the back of her pants. The suit says, "He then grabbed and pulled her panties and jeans away from her body and threw a fistful of coins down into the crack of her buttocks." Masseria's co-worker allegedly chimed in by shouting, "Jackpot! Jackpot!" Now Masseria says, "I don't trust anyone." Speaking to the Post—which went with the headline GAL TAKES A CRACK AT SUING OVER 'COINS DOWN BUTT'—the coworker says, "The way it's portrayed in the complaint is completely untrue." Maybe you had to be there?

Anyone notice how she's listed on Myspace as "married" but here for "dating?" I think coins down the crack are the least of her problems. I do love the headline though lol
How can this be with a company that advertises that women work in sweatshops with bikinis? http://www.youtube.com/eckoMFG
They wear bikinis! It's not like they are naked or degraded or anything. They wear a sliver of clothing to protect their dignity. This is a very surprising lawsuit.
SNL did a skit a few years ago about the crack of the ass being a coin slot.

I was hoping this would involve Marc Ecko tagging up some girl's boobs with a can of Krylon.
Ass Pennies.
Is anyone surprised that there are men that act this way? In my world, we call them "losers".
How much could she possibly be entitled to for this? You've got minor humiliation that is not particularly sexual in nature, and no damage to her "career" since it's a completely expendable minimum-wage-type service job. (Just apply somewhere else in the mall, duh.) If I were ecko I'd offer her $500 to go away.

500...in pennies!
oh snaps!
What's she crying about? Unlike most banks, she's still able to attract deposits.
She is married but interested in dating. Enough said.
did you guys check out the video? at the end a woman is branded with ECKO on her bare ass. Classy.
I don't know about this. I too would consider it a minor humiliation and it also doesn't sound as though it was particularly sexual in nature. It's like getting a really creative wedgie.
