They may take our jobs, but they'll never take... our Hooters!

Tilted Kilt rocks. My wife and I ate there on our honeymoon in Vegas.
She used to raise hell about Hooters all the time until she was actually forced by friends to go there. She saw it wasn't a titty bar, and now we stop there often.

 

Just down the road from me is a Hooters that opened about 10 years ago. Some local pol (eyeing higher office) organized a neighborhood outrage group because of the fear that a Hooters would attract sexual predators. They built the Hooters anyways, but these dingbats managed to keep that location from getting a beer license for a couple of years. The owners, who have a couple of dozen locations, didn't back down and simply gave beer away (you could get two pints; it tended to be something the big brewers were trying to get established). I haven't been back since they started charging for beer.

 

The way the waitstaff dresses at Hooters is still a big deal in 2013? Good lord.

The coach was probably fired more for the insubordination than by the actual attendance of the place, but still. Get a life.

 

It's not as though the coaching position was a full-time job. It was more of a volunteer thing.

Not a wise choice for a dinner for a school function, but the coach had apparently put some money down to reserve the place and would be out that money.

The Hooters here has decent food and decent service. The wife took me for my birthday, which by joyous coincidence was all-you-can-eat wings for $10. (I tackled round one, then took another couple of rounds home for lunch the next day. Not my proudest moment in meal selection, but it was my birthday.) But the building could use a cleaning. It wasn't gross, it was just old.

Of course, you can spot the regulars within 10 seconds of stepping past the hostess's table and into the restaurant. If anything, it's not the girls who make you uncomfortable, it's the regulars.

I can think of a couple of local sports bars where the waitresses wear even less than the Hooters girls.

 

I try not to frequent places where the food has been reheated after being made in a warehouse 1,500 miles away.

 

If you're offended by Hooters, you're sure to be more offended by every beach and/or swimming pool in the world.

 

What is that supposed to mean? Are we savages that cause riots at Hooters? I really don't know what you mean.

 

I hit a Hooters in Missouri once.

It should have been called Heifers.

 

There's probably girls attending the high school who wear less to class than the Hooters waitresses wear to work.

 

Are parents offended by the shirts or the shorts of a Hooters uniform? Because if it's the shorts, then I'd love to see the outrage over what the volleyball players wear.

I did my share of years in the trenches of high school sports, including covering volleyball. Yeah, the shorts are short. I was professional and didn't let it bother me. Now, my niece is high school age, playing volleyball, and the "are those appropriate for teenage girls to wear?" parental-thinking mode kicked in. Funny how perspective changes.
