This is exactly why I don’t go to Hooters. I can’t stand being surrounded by men like him. Sir, you’re like 50 and the waitress is barely 20. I miss their wings.
Last time I walked by a hooters i saw signs that said “kids eat 1/2 price!” And “Monday is family night! Specials available”
It’s like they just want anyone in there, you gay? It’s ok forget the boobs, come eat the shit food! Kids? Why not. Bring grandma after church! PLEASE EAT HERE WE ARE A DYING BUSINESS!
You can always walk in like an adult
Industrial society and it’s consequences.
divorce, ffs
I didn’t know they updated their logo to give the owl a vag wing
Well how about Boober eats? Same as Uber, but the hooters come visit you at your messy room.
They did this in Portland during the pandemic. It lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks before they were sued into closing.
Fucking corpo shit bags.Is that real? Sounds like a sexual assault waiting to happen.
Yeah, the manager would have to drive along and it would have to be a pretty big guy…awkward…here’s your chicken buddy! Wanna say hi to Jessica? Yeah it wouldn’t work.
Ah yes, the views.
They’ve got a huge business opportunity there. Every branch should be different! They could have one with plus-sized waitresses, one with waiters instead, one with whips and leather, one with mature waitresses, all in the same town.
please femboy hooters is so passé now
Nothing like getting mediocre food served by a waitress who hates her job and regrets the life choices that led her to it.
The good news is that some of them don’t hate their jobs, and appreciate the money and high tips without having to ride a pole.
Granted, it’s perspective in contrast to diner wait staff (a high-suicide job) and professional stripping (a high-turnover job) so still not great.
“appreciate the money and high tips without having to ride a pole”
Says enough as a coping mechanism
Does this man not know how to type “boobs” into a search engine?
His wife has parental controls on the home computer.
LOL
You can watch a video of someone eating an A5 wagyu steak, but I’d rather eat a less expensive steak myself. Pixels vs reality…
No where near the same thing, you can’t touch either pair of boobs.
You can look at pictures of animals on the internet, or you can visit a zoo
One of them is a lot more ethical
This isn’t about ethics.
Do you think they are the same?
Yeah but you can sniff them
Not exactly the same but seeing actual people, talking to them, interacting vs. watching something on a computer screen is also no where near the same thing.
Yes the former is far worse.
There was a heartwarming essay in the NYT awhile back called “Why Dads Take Their Gay Sons to Hooters” by Peter Rothpletz.
As much as I find the (“all men are terrible”/“not all men”/“haha you said not all men that means you’re bad too”) dynamic popular lately to be exhausting and stupid, men do have a major cultural problem.
That was a really good read. I never realized men taking their queer kids to hooters was a thing, good to know at least the servers had the kids’ backs
I’d be tempted in fiction to make Hooters a secret line of temples to Athena the way Nike outlets are… well… temples to Nike.
That was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed that.
It reminded me I f my own faithful trip to hooters with a friend and his father.
I don’t think I know what was going on there, but I did feel like it was super awkward because they were talking about the waitress like she wasn’t there.
I mostly remember the wings we had were not very good.
Wings should not be battered with cornmeal. Though I don’t eat that much meat anymore.
Cornmeal is for seafood and okra. I am fully willing and committed to dying on this hill.
I never had the hooters experience, I had more of a “self-imposed secret conversation therapy” and being bi certainly helped to pass.
Lifelong identity issues and anxiety are worth it to avoid the travesty of cornmeal on chicken imo.
Great article.
This made me smile :)
Thanks for linking that. Loved it.
ITT: drifts being thrown around all willy-nilly!
Is that really the Hooters logo? Holy shit.
If no one ever told me what Hooters was about when I was younger, I absolutely would have gone to one as an adult thinking it would involve owls. Like a cat cafe, but owls.
I’ve heard this type of establishment referred to as “breastaurant”.
Have been to Los Angeles for a short time with friends and of course we tried several fast foods. We decided to go to Hooters just for fun, but the food was surprisingly the most decent of those we tried, and also reasonably priced. Of course we could see a lot of creepy around us and it was a little unconfortable seeing some clearly underage girls just being there for their boobs.
The US really is a weird place…
Reminds me of that southpark episode…
The minimum age to work there is 18 since the workers often serve alcohol, so it’s highly unlikely you actually saw anyone underage working there.
Ok that makes sense, still didn’t look like so lol
I think we’re just old. Anyone under like 25 looks like they should still be in school to me.
I’m 24 so I don’t think that’s the case lol, they just appear to be dressed like teenagers.
Oh, I’m 45.
Shouldn’t you be in school, laddie?
a little scenery, if you catch my drift
You’re leaving a review for Hooters; there’s really no need for subtlety.
I honestly think that a large part of their appeal is that you can pretend to be subtle
