    Hooters gets built up as this horrible place but the outfit isn't anything like tilted kilt or twin peaks so not sure what the fuss is about. Food is pretty much average as well, people rave about the wings but eh.

    While some waitresses at Hooters might be objectified by some customers, I don't think personally that I would see a person who works at Hooters any differently. It's not like they're strippers or working in porn. They're just waitresses. Hooters hasn't cornered the market on objectifying waitresses...it happens at all kinds of restaurants and bars, even classy ones, although it's not as common.

    It's WAY more common than you think actually. A friend of mine has a (fairly wealthy) work contact who uses a local, higher end restaurant as his prefered business meeting place. All because the "ladies" who work there know that a fair amount of business men (and women) will pay for the booze and blow once they get invited to the after hours parties. That's not just the customers objectifying them. They put themselves in that position and it may as well be prostitution.

    If your job is legal, pays your bills, and isn't forced upon you, there's no reason on Earth to be ashamed of doing the work. Tell anyone who thinks differently to kindly stuff it.

    ^^ Very much this.

    I will admit, though, that I'm less likely to choose Hooters as a meal option due to the fact that I've NEVER received good service when I've gone there (and I'm talking about different restaurants in different states, not just a single location). :disappointed:

    TIL working as waitstaff is equivalent to prostitution.

    I worked there for a very brief period of my life. I'm just curious why somebody who uses a pop star as their profile photo has any right to say anything about where anybody is employed.

    Let me tell you those nylons were a B*tch! Always running and expensive.

    rather than dignifying half of these posts with a reply, or baulk at how dumb this is, i will shrug.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Amen to that. I think the food is meh. I'd much rather work at Twin Peaks and wear this:

    Hooters was lame but tame. We have Tilted Kilt here which I find obnoxious. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I want to button up their shirts and tell them to get back to college.

    The food at Hooters sucks and the attractive waitresses (which very few are these days) doesn't out weigh the crappy over-priced food. Like always there are guys out there willing to spend their money on a chick that is just flirting with them with the dream that they might get to go home with them if they compliment their poorly covered up tribal band tattoo and give a big tip.

    I would never think less of someone who is working hard to make a living. However, I would definitely think less of someone who thought less of someone for working at Hooters - and treated them badly or judged them accordingly.

    If wearing a certain type of t-shirt is enough to turn you from a gentlemen with good character to a complete a##$hole,you really should stay home. From what I heard from people who used to work there, most men were completely able to maintain their basic decency in the presence of women regardless of their uniform.

    Good wings, Hooter girls are confident in their own skin, a job is a job like modeling but while serving good wings.

    There was a Frasier episode that touched on this topic.

    I see nothing wrong with working there, especially if you are trying to put food on the table or put yourself through school.

    Would I date someone that worked there? Of course.

    Boom.

    I actually don't even hold it against sex workers- many of them make excellent money and are quiet happy at it.

    If you are happy doing your job- and it doesn't hurt anyone else and it serves your needs, you shouldn't be ashamed.

    I didn't say anything actually! I was just asking questions and looking to hear different opinions.
