nymag.com/thecut/2017/01/hooters-to-open-fast-casual-dining-chain-called-hoots.htmlI saw Annette post this on Fb and thought I'd share I don't know if this is another politically correct thing or what, but... "For the man with discerning taste in chicken wings, but who cannot stand the thought of forcing a woman to don clothes that objectify her at the workplace, there is finally a restaurant in which you can feel comfortable. It’s called Hoots. Perhaps recognizing the abundance of men who aren’t interested in looking at a woman’s chest area until at least the fourth date, beloved “breastaurant” Hooters has a new “fast-casual” chain coming. At Hoots, female and male servers will not wear revealing clothing, and an “abbreviated one-page menu” will get you in and out of there before you can say, uh, Hoot Hoot. The first Hoots will open in Cicero, Illinois, in February."

Hooters food has always sucked. Which makes the female waitresses flirting with you in order for a tip to be even more insulting. If I wanted that, I'd just go to a strip club. I hate PC "revisions" but fully support this.

I've been to Hooters once, and didn't care for the food

They should firm an alliance e with Impact wrestling based on their shared owel logo and Brooke Tessmacher's career as a Hooter's waitress. "Impact Wrestling-We Have Hot Wings!"

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure none of the Hooters waitresses are forced into anything and are in fact partaking of their own free will because they're, you know, adults and capable of making their own decisions. I also don't exactly find it progressive to claim that a woman wearing sexy clothing is automatically "objectified" especially if, again, it is her own free will. People need stop thinking slut-shaming is somehow feminist.
Note that I don't care one bit about this chain opening a family-friendly variation of their restaurants, and frankly I find the concept of a fast-food chain based on cleavage to be rather silly at best but shoehorning in something like this is as dumb as... well, the concept of Hooters.

Hooters wings are terrible. Have you ever looked at a jar of that wing basting sauce? It's like slapping sludge into a jar & turning those innocent chicken wings into coronaries waiting to happen. |

I've been to Hooters maybe four or five times in my life.
On every occasion, it's resulted in some sort of intestinal distress.

I've never been to the US so I've never been to Hooters but the idea of it just seems ridiculous. From ages like 18-21 half naked women bringing me chicken wings and beer maybe sounds like a dream and a novelty for tourists maybe but other than that it just seems a bit.. desperate? Watch some porn and find a decent restaurant.
Each to their own but pretty sure it's not for me!
All that said, it's silly to open this chain. As far as I can tell, nobody is going to Hooters for a wholesome family afternoon. It would be like McDonalds opening a vegan chain, Hilton opening up brothels or WWE starting a football league..

Hooters should create an alternative to Twitter, called Titter.

Funny I just got a job at Hooters here in December. The food isn't great but its not terrible. I am a cleaner and staff, yes they are two different positions in the company and I have to do both to just get between 25-30 hours a week. One good thing is being an employee I get 50% off my meals, so I can way a huge meal here and after discount I will stay pay less than some fast food places where I would get less.

I maintain that one of the greater ironies of the world is that Hooters serves wings and not breasts.

Eh, a bit complicated, I'd say; totally agreed that a woman dressing however she pleases is her business and should be respected, but there's a different dynamic at work when it's an employer mandating skimpy/revealing/arguably exploitative outfits, since the power dynamic of employer-employee muddies the water. When I was still eating most meat full time, I'll admit that Hooters wings runs were not uncommon for my friends and I (we actually were those weirdos going to Hooters for the wings); no, they're not particularly good, but eh, the Daytona wings are kind of nice. Can't say I much miss it, though. |
