Rave...Hooters

[Arthur Dent]

Both times I've been to Hooters, I thought the food was disgusting. I have no plans to return.

I do like the food, but the scenery when I go is lacking 90% of the time. Sure, they're showing plenty of skin, but they just aren't attractive.

Except for the last time I was at the Columbia Hooters. They had their A team working apparently. I would have taken probably 5 of the 6 girls waitressing at the time.

I can verify this,Columbia has the best Hooter's girls of any of their places I've been to.

A friend of mine worked at Hooters in Columbia. She said they fired girls on the first day (edit - or over the first couple of days of training, now that I think about it) that looked fatter in the outfits than they had anticipated during the bulk hiring/interview process. Over-hired for this very reason. They passed it off as something else apparently, but it was pretty obvious. One of her sorority sisters had gotten hired (then fired) and didn't take it so well.

Just another reason to not go there. The first two being that the food sucks and they don't serve liquor.

Their food is awesome, and they do serve liquor now.

But who the heck drinks liquor with wings?

[haltz]

I think their food is gross and the atmosphere is incredibly depressing. So I want booze and lots of it fast when I get dragged there.

Yes.

The Smoking Gun has a copy of the employee manual. I especially like the release at the end that essentially says that by working there you agree to be sexually harassed.

There are women out there that are OK with this concept. I mean, didn't we just have a thread a couple weeks ago about how we should be comfortable with women expressing their sexuality too? There's a lot of women are are fine with crude jokes when they get big tips.

A lot of them just happen to not be very good looking.

When I go there, it's to eat the food, and watch some games on TV. And it's only when I'm travelling. It's fine as a go-to sports bar in an area I don't know anything about, as far as I'm concerned. I really don't care about the waitresses--they could wear fur coats for all I care.

[haltz]

I didn't say I disagreed with their choice. I'm proud of them for taking advantage of all the pathetic dudes that make the atmosphere depressing.

Oh man, that handbook is a riot, Arthur.

I realize that, but in this case they are "expressing their sexuality" in a completely phony and weird way as a ruse in order to sell really bad wings and beer.

Agreed that there's lots of pathetic dudes in there. But a night out at a club depresses me much more than Hooters. Because I at least get food and timely beer service at Hooters.

I guess I just treat it like a BW3's with real-sized wings. I don't pay much attention to the surroundings.
