Or WWE and Carmella. "Bada-Bing! Try our chicken wings!" But WWE doesn't have an owl! New Day would argue with that. |

Really dig Hooters wings, but I avoid going there because the waitresses talk to you like they're working in a strip club. I'll check this new place out if it ever comes here.

"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" 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. 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. True but it's not like the women applying for a job at Hooters aren't aware of what the outfits are like so I imagine that if they had a problem with it, they wouldn't get a job there in the first place. It's not the same context as if they applied to be, say, a secretary and two weeks into the job, their boss told them to put on a mini-mini skirt or she's fired. |

Oh, definitely that'd be worse since it was never part of the parameters of the job, but the whole enterprise still feels off to me just given how many young people have a hard time finding any employment; not equating working at Hooters with "having" to work in the sex industry or something, but for a lot of people options end up being fairly limited. It's not a crisis in western civilization in and of itself, just something where I understand getting to a point of saying "this feels a little weird". |

The thing confusing me about this is, and I've never been to Hooters so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it kind of optional to stare at the employees? Like, I'm pretty sure it is possible to go to Hooters, eat the food, and not glare at what the waitresses are wearing. When you think about all the things that would go into this "Hoots" chain (hiring new employees, new buildings, specific dress codes and new policies), it seems like a lot work for something that really doesn't seem like a problem.

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!" shit is still shit |

This is a perfect example of finding solutions to a problem that doesn't really exist. No one with "discerning taste in chicken wings" is checking out Hooters in the first place, the people who go because for the "ambiance" aren't looking for a change, and I doubt anyone who feels strongly about Hooters objectifying women is going to change their minds about the company because of this. It really is a zero sum gain. Hell, the announcement reads like an April Fool's joke.

Hell, the announcement reads like an April Fool's joke. my guess this is Hooters realizing their profits are dropping and trying to figure out why... and instead of things like people that go to the other styled places like Twisted Kilt and the like (for numerous reasons) they decide that it's just the skimpy dressed women is the problem. |

Hooters should just abandon the entire concept of serving food and just become a strip club.

I'd like Hooters more if the servers were actual owls.
I used to go with my Gamestop coworkers to the Hooters near our mall when I worked there. The wings aren't the greatest, but when they're all you can eat and there's pitchers of beer, you don't really care that much. We were also the weirdos who treated the servers with some sort of modicum of respect.
