Always know your chain of command. Sucks that happened, but you should always know who the management is.

It sounds like a set up from the boss. How we're you supposed to complete this task without **** shaming? The boss would know how she dressed. And how is he your boss if the women was the actual boss? I would have told the manager that you were set up. I'm guessing you hadn't been working there long

I agree it’s possible your boss set you up to get fired. And you should have recognized the hotel manager. But it would have been more professional to watch more closely and act based on behavior rather than dress. It’s not just prostitutes who dress in a sexually seductive manner, so basing your action on a miniskirt and just coming up to a man was a mistake. On the other hand had she come up to multiple individuals (one at a time) and then reached some sort of agreement with one then she (or he) would be more likely to be a prostitute. Obviously looking for that takes longer and more observation and focusing on the miniskirt was easier, but it also got you fired. Frankly I think that unless the prostitution is flagrant and obvious, business should spend more time on making sure their employees act appropriately to their customers and less time looking for hookers.

So you assumed a woman was a ***** just because she was wearing sexy clothes and was talking to a man? Geez, 3/4 of the girls I went to college with would be thrown out of your hotel by you.

While it may have been a set up, what's so wrong with wearing a mini skirt? If her behavior is otherwise acceptable & all the appropriate areas are covered, showing some skin isn't a reason for her to be kicked out. YDI

As someone who can't read social cues to save my life, I could likely only complete this task by going off of how they dressed and simply approaching men, which is flawed from the get go. I couldn't think of any other way to reliably do this.

You can't be fired for following orders I think even at will state you can't
