Has Wingstop’s social media manager gone too far?
Wingstop got into a sexual innuendo-laden public conversation with Twitter user @kaykookiedough on Wednesday night. Some parts of the conversation were definitely NSFW.

The shocking exchange instantly got Wingstop trending on Twitter, with some of the platform’s users wondering if the social media manager would be fired or promoted. The social media manager does not seem worried.
promotion

Here's what other people on Twitter are saying:
I'm in PR & the answer is BOTH. Don't promote; don't fire. Horrible idea. Risk 100% NOT worth taking, but paid off (with Wingstop's target consumers). #wingstop will 100% get backlash from feminists and lefty whiners/virtue signalers but the vast majority will laugh & buy. https://t.co/zMlEsnWX6n
If @Wingstop corp is smart, promoted.
