Believe it or not, I really like the food at Hooters. I don’t just go there for the scenery.
Especially lately.
About the last 9 times I’ve been to Hooters, I’ve either gotten a crappy waitress, crappy food, plain crappy service.
The problems usually arise from the girl waiting on us. Each time, whoever it is, she is total bitch, appears to be high and incoherent, or has no visible personality. You can just tell the girl does not want to be there at all.
And I’m not a shallow guy, but you have to wonder anymore about the hiring standards at this place. Clearly the bar has been lowered a bit. I’m likely to give a bigger tip to someone that is friendly and somewhat cheerful than one that just seems bored.
It’s now become a running joke among my friends and I about what will go wrong this time when we go. Will the waitress be on drugs? Will she make it clear that she doesn’t give a shit? Will the chicken be served raw? Will we have to wait over an hour after eating just to get our check?
Despite all this, I still seem to go there for some reason. And no, it’s not for that reason that you’re thinking. I really do like the wings. They are especially delicious.

dude, if your mom has such saggers, why does she work there. Of course if you had gotten off of breast feeding before the age of twelve, they might be in better shape.

You’re one of those attention starved emo kids aren’t you?

Making repugnant comments about someone’s mother and/or god is never, ever okay you buffoon.
Now to the actual topic at hand: Although I have never eaten at Hooters, I buy gift cards from there frequently. Every single time I go in, some twit with an IQ equivilent to toe jam cannot figure out how to ring up a damn gift card. After waiting patiently for about 10 minutes then impatiently for another 10, I always wonder why the hell anyone would actually enjoy eating at a place with such horrible service, mediocre food and tacky scenery. Then I look around and 99.9% of the time I see the place filled exclusively with men dumb enough to keep coming back.
Why should Hooters worry about great tasting food and exceptional customer service when men still flock at the chance to be waited on hand and foot by a walking set of DD’s?

>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Another witty comeback from this guy.
July 9th, 2006 at 4:21 am
I’m kinda really tired of women flaunting their boobs and expecting 30% gratuity, no speeding tickets, and other little extras in life.
Waitresses and women bartenders always use their bodies to get more cash from their customers-Hooters just took it a step further: “Lets just flat-out show out breasts to these fucking gorillas.”
The food sucks there anyway.
July 10th, 2006 at 9:16 am
I think the food is good, but it is overpriced.
July 10th, 2006 at 11:25 am
I take offense to your comment RockNRoll.
I think the problem with men is that they think with their penises and women are savvy enough to exploit that. You can’t blame them for taking advantage of the fact that the male gender is easily manipulated.
July 10th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Savvy
July 10th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
Yes, savvy.
July 10th, 2006 at 11:54 pm
I think that women lose dignity and self-respect when they use their bodies as tools. It’s like saying “I don’t want to be harassed at work unless I’m getting paid for it.” Therefore stating the reason that harassment isn’t about the opposite sex making you feel like a cheap object, but it makes you feel like you’re being cheated out of some easy cash.
It’s the same ideology used by prostitutes and strippers and you wouldn’t see them as savvy business women, would you?
July 11th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
See, the thing is even when women act and dress professionally, men treat them like sexual objects.
I have a professional demeanor at work and regularly have slimy assholes making inappropriate comments. I am by no means provocative or flirtatious and do not solicite this behavior, yet men still spew it out at me.
So why should I fault a woman who chooses to capitalizes on that? While I don’t use my physical attributes to get ahead in life, I don’t see how its wrong if another lady does.
And although I am sure most will disagree with me on this, prostitutes and strippers are savvy business people. It’s no different than models or porn stars.
July 11th, 2006 at 6:27 pm
You should fault those women who choose to perpetuate it and praise the women who opt to destroy it.
Match point.
July 11th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
I see what you’re saying. If someone constantly bums cigarettes from you its good business sense to charge them a quarter each time and capitalize on their bad habit.
However, things like misogyny shouldn’t be manipulated into different forms (especially a corporation dedicated to it) it needs to be stamped out. Find a different way to earn money other than nurturing a toxic chauvenism pointed directly at you!
July 12th, 2006 at 10:11 am
I admire your puritan ways but you’re an increasingly rare breed. What makes you think after thousands of years we have any chance of stamping out chauvenism?
If you cannot overcome, you must adapt. That is exactly what we’re doing. I am not easily persuaded dear sir and appreciate your tenacity however until you spend a day in the life of a woman, you clearly cannot understand nor judge us and our actions.
July 12th, 2006 at 10:12 am
Game over.
July 12th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
Overtime.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:31 pm
The only tip a girl with big Hooters will get from me will not be coming from my wallet.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
I’m human. I know what it feels like to be degraded. I know how it feels to be used, cheated, and beaten up. So don’t for one second think that I’m out of touch because I don’t have the right body parts or think that you aren’t because you do.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:56 pm
Man oh man, I know what you mean about the staff at Hooters. Last time I went there, I had a 40+ year old broad with bleached out hair in pigtails. She had her t-shirt tied in a knot over her stomach and had the world’s worst stretch marks across her belly. And she was an A cup at best.
Least the wings were good.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
I think you are confusing the fact that just because I think it’s fine for a woman to behave in this manner that I actually do as well.
There’s a huge difference from you being degraded, used, cheated,and beaten up as opposed to a woman. You are physically capable of defending yourself. We lack the physical ability to protect and defend ourselves and prefer to use other tactics. Survival of the smartest.
July 12th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
You guys all crack me up. Hey sum–that was too funny. I personally love hooters food—-the buff shrimp is the best!! Who cares about the girls. Someone needs to lighten up a little.
July 12th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
Ok — heh, as far as the food\scenery thing goes… If - and I use if loosely — IF you are going to Hooters for wings and boobs, just go to a strip club and eat at the buffet. The girls there are better looking (due to bad lighting), the food is about the same quality, you serve yourself so there is no waiting around, and you get a show… either way you look at it - you probably end up spending the same amount of $$$…
Now, on the other hand, I have never heard of anyone going to Hooters for the fine dinning. And I doubt anyone’s last meal is a basket of wings and fries. So, I think we can pretty much rule out the idea that someone is going there for the food. Also, I don’t recall any of Hooter’s ads claiming to have the best customer service in the restaurant industry… so, you can’t really complain there. I mean you could, but that’s only because you are comparing TGI Friday’s Apples to Hooter’s Oranges.
Ok — so that is that! About the sexism discussion, I think men generally resent that they are willing to shell out a few extra bucks at the hopes of seeing areola and women will shell out extra in the hopes of not seeing a penis. I don’t think we’ll ever see eye to eye on this one. We just have to accept the ways of the world, and you know, if you don’t like the business model, don’t be a patron. Pretty easy

i like hooters and if you are a male and dont like the place you are either gay or gay… or forein but forein people are gay
July 12th, 2006 at 9:38 pm
Illiterate assholes are gay too. You know, the ones who spell “foreign” wrong…
July 13th, 2006 at 1:54 am
I don’t think you behave in that way. You’ve been on this site long enough for me to know that.
I just don’t know what you’re driving at. First, you say that men can be pigs but you condone that because women are able to get rich off it. Then, you say its “survival off the smartest” but, as a man, I have the upper hand because I can defend myself better than a woman in a fight. You hate when men harrass you at work but an establishment that glorifies that very thing you despise is acceptable.
You’re arguement is addled with contradictions. I don’t think I can continue unless we sat down and actually spoke about this because I feel I’m either being mispercieved or your arguement is so illogical to me that it throws me for a loop. I mean, plain as day, Senor big Dank is there being an idiot and you’re wasting your [hypothetical] breath telling him off.
It’s not as much trouble for me, these types of social problems where women are dealt a bum hand. I just have an innate reaction to destroy shitty stereotypes when I’m prejudged as another man-easily manipulatable-and you are just another woman-easily subdued.
July 13th, 2006 at 9:34 am
Here it is plain and simple from my mouth:
There are times and places where its socially acceptable for men and women to behave in the manner at which you and I are debating about. For example, strip clubs, restaurants such as Hooters, dance clubs, streetcorners, etc., etc. The women who work at these establishments know its a job hazard and they put themselves in that predicament. I work in a professional workplace. Just because I am a female does not give a man a right to treat me like anything but a lady.
Most men are pigs and I deplore them for it, but I simply cannot blame a woman for taking the easy road and exploiting that. Men have the advantage of brute strength over women, but that does not give them the upper hand. It just forces me to be intellegent enough not to get myself in a situation at which I feel threatened.
I did not tell off Senor Dank, I clearly pointed out his inaccuracies. Using the English language wrong and misspelling words are my pet peeves and I cannot help but point them out. I am a smart-ass by nature.
I don’t think you truly get the big picture here. In any given day I cannot: jog outside, shop at the grocery store, work, go to a mall, play tennis on a public court or drive down the street without men whistling or spitting out obscene sexual comments at me.
Just because I think something is ok for another doesn’t mean I would ever behave in that manner. If men aren’t going to stop acting like pigs, then women can exploit them for their weaknesses.
Most men are easily manipulated and most women are easily subdued. You and I dear sir are exceptions to these stereotypes. I applaud you for wanting to destroy shitty stereotypes and thank you for it.
July 13th, 2006 at 10:11 am
when you say:
“In any given day I cannot: jog outside, shop at the grocery store, work, go to a mall, play tennis on a public court or drive down the street without men whistling or spitting out obscene sexual comments at me.”
Have you thought about moving?
July 13th, 2006 at 11:45 am
You know steelcity gal…your an annoying overhypocritical bitch..it seems like nothing anyone says on here is good enough for you..have you ever been wrong in your entire life? your post are sooo annoying about people not being proper and stuff like that..loosen up or get laid
July 13th, 2006 at 12:49 pm
Hi, Steel City Gal.
Will you please send me a photo of you?
: )
July 13th, 2006 at 12:56 pm
Honestly, I don’t have much sympathy for people who experience bad service at Hooters. It’s Hooters…go somewhere else if you want better food. As far as I can tell, they’re more concerned about a woman’s assets rather than food and service.
And I agree with Steel City Gal: the obscene sexual comments get old fast.
July 13th, 2006 at 1:51 pm
HEY!!! i didn’t enter #29, i resent that.
July 13th, 2006 at 9:46 pm
Imposter RR: I’ve been wrong once. See, that wasn’t hard for me to admit.
And I take it you’re one of the meatheads who holler out obscenities at ladies. It’s just a wild guess…
July 14th, 2006 at 3:35 am
The past few days have been rough for me and I’ve been trying to keep it together. Thanks for listening to my arguement though. I might actually have my first career lined up. I have so many doors slammed in my face and my parents up my ass to get hired that I just needed to argue. I still stand by everything I said but normally I might have a bit more grace to it. So thanks to all (esp. S.C.G.).
Ps. Hey Ken, whats the most commented post this year?
July 14th, 2006 at 8:47 am
RockNRoll: I wish you luck with your potential career. I’m sure once you stop putting so much pressure on yourself everything will work out.
It was a pleasure debating with a gentleman such as yourself.

You have to look at the kind of women who work at Hooters. In Columbia, SC more than a few of the Hooters girls dance at various strip clubs. Management recruits them because they bring in their regulars from the clubs. One of the girls(Tina Marie) used to work in the day and strip at night. She ‘worked’ the Hooters customers the same way she worked the strip club crowds. She made beaucoup dinero, too.
