I enjoy going with my bf for the wings. We're both gay, but not obvious, and I swear the waitresses seem confused by us
Cucumbawumba
I think if you don't wanna deal with creepy men, don't work at a place you know is all about your knockers...
StarShineSurreal
My first time in a Hooters was with my great grandmother. I'm a female. She liked the Philly steak.
complainsabouteverythingpmuch
"Typically dominated by men." Bruh, that's like dudes going into a women's beauty salon because it's typically dominated by women.
spiderqueendemon
Shoot, my PPD support group used to meet at Hooters because we figured it was the one place in town we could nurse in peace.
mokzin
Hooters is a very family friendly place. Not really dominated by men.
CrazyCatLad
Never been but went to Tilted Kilt (Hooters with Irish vibe) with my female friend. She suggested it. Lots of families were there.
swatz
Ironically I know more women that like to go to hooters than men.
OhMyGodTheyKilledBrianYouBastards
"invading a space dominated by men"... you mean their exact target demographic? is this the way people see shit now? for real?
NotWelcomehere
Welcome to the other side...
MerToo
yeah men aren't allowed a space now, fuckers used to do all kinds of nasty stuff like invent clothes-driers & vaccines
Summonsays
"Hey grandma, that's our table! We're hungry" *old lady instantly pulls the guy in to sit with them*
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Not every guy who goes there is a gross creeper. Some of us just want all you can eat wings.
otiumCatulli
America is the sort of place where it's normal to have hooters waitresses & sexy cheerleaders but really prudish attitudes to sex 1/2
at the same time so women are fetishised and sexual mores are all confused and Weistein is bad but leering at cheerleaders isn't. 2/2
I hope I don't need to really explain the difference between what Weinstein did and looking at girls
The principle is the same, both are using women as sexual objects to be degraded and used. Alternatively Trump is bad but cheerleaders arent
30kLegion
Fuck the waitresses, I'm just there for the wings, and don't forget about my celery because I need that fiber
Hellstorm99
That’s great! As long as they are the “red hat” women. F***ing worst customers imaginable in my experience.
rza33boo
Am female, their food is delicious dammit. Good burgers.
lacole725
Hooters has fucking awful service
SometimesIwishIhadacleverusernamelikeeveryoneelseonthissite
My Grandma and I used to go to Hooters. She liked the food, and kept saying she was going to buy an outfit. Cracked me up
SexualConsent
"Grandma no"
Ravenbreaker
I've only been to Hooters once. The food was alright, but to be honest I think the whole thing was over rated.
LatrineUsedToBeShitHouse
This has to be fake. Same thing happened to me with their grand opening and we received some of the worst food and service of my life.
WhyIsThisStillEvenAQuestion
So now a man is acting like a "gross creeper" if he just wants to get some damn wings?
shitduke
Things that didnt happen, for 500
checkusername
All for respecting women, and not saying that the women there shouldn't be respected, but the owl logo isn't how Hooters got it's name 1/?
McPuffinStuff
It's been an hour, where is the 2/2? Are you ok? Do you need someone to call 911?
ha, forgot I put that on there. Started typing out more and realized that saying more added no benefit so I just stopped
prfesser
The waitstaff knows why they're there, and usually embrace it. Gal caught me staring; she smiled and said "Go ahead and look at them"
skincancerisfun
Well thats a turn off..
Skyluin
The issue is that some of the people do the butt slappy b such.

nipplepanties
It's tumblr, yes
causality
Apparently. I also don't know how sitting at a table and eating counts as "just taking the fuck over".
Some1OnceToldMe
Only because a lot of women don't feel like putting up with this shit anymore.
Putting up with “male dominated spaces” like hooters?
Their target demographic? They are intentionally catering to men. This isn't revolutionary. Spas generally cater towards women.
ImUglyIRL
Then why work at hooters?
I'm confused by the simplicity of your question so I'll just answer it directly: money. Like every other job?
What would you change, with respect to hooters?
A living wage? Honestly, I think anit-min wagers should be forced to eat at home everyday. $3.25 an hour isn't livable.
Macish
We're all victims these days. It's the new thing!
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
I'm very *reads from hand* opfriended by that.
*pulls out the script* 'so what you're saying is' and erm...'did you just assume...something?'
*desperately searching through script* I... you... erm, hold on... *mumbles* ugh.... here it is: you're objectifying me!
Damned right I am! *winks*
MyPalmsSpaghettiKneesWeakArmsSpaghettiTheresVomitOnMySpaghetti
@OP this oerson claims to have befriended you; please confirm or deny...?

That's fair. *dances incompetently*
SergeantOldSchool

WoolyBullyDoesNotRhymeWithSully

Cyzyk
Those ain't Fried Pickles.
I do love fried pickles, but theirs are so salty that I can't enjoy them. Admission, I grew up frying our own at home in the South.
sexymeetzey
Agreed. If you have all you can eat wings I don't give a fuck what you're wearing, my server could be in a clown costume for all I care.
anonymoose6
Boy what the fuck is that
Curly fries! I don't eat the cheese crap, I'm a fan.
TryingTraveler
Looks fucking gross but I've never been. Am I missing a gift from God?
They are decent fries, I wouldn't know about that canned cheese crap. Unless it's ballgame nachos covered in jalapenos, I don't eat it.
5P4C3M4N

Stinkdog
I mean they’re marketing them for a dollar
apparentlymynormalusernameisntgoodenoughsoheresthis
And they’re alright.
Haven't tried them yet. Good side of alright or bad side of alright?
Depends on the freshness of the food, and how low your standards of what would be considered protein substitute slush in a sci-fi setting is
Honestly reply is they’re alright. Decent 7/10. Worth a Dollar.
Oh, and how hungry/drunk/stoned/mixed or all the above you are.
greendogblue
Alright enough that I spend $3 and get a bunch more
Fyba
Wingsday is mine.

FaoySamfs
My son's (19 & 17) and I enjoy the food and it gives me a chance to show them provocatively dressed women are still treated with respect.
kissmyassets
RRiiiiggghhttt. That is the reason.
Some serious one-dimensional thinkers here. We like the food and the pretty girls but you still treat them with respect. Not a hard concept.
bumhand
You know... _that_ AND the boobs
https://media.giphy.com/media/Fml0fgAxVx1eM/giphy.gif
I'm sold! I've never heard of anything more respectful than an old man going to Hooters with his teenage sons to teach them "respect"
TheBlackVan
That's the spirit!
DelicateMenstrualQueef
I think it's important for folks to know that one can like boobies, and still treat people who have them like people.
I get hooted at and stared at all the time. It's not my fault I got man boobies! I'm just big boned!
You and your moobies deserve respect, dude.
Thank you
TheYoungGod
Is it weird eating with your boys while they are trying to hide their throbbing foot long titanium boners?
vcam97
FlatPlutoSociety
They're 17 and 19. Just assume that they have uncontrollable boners literally any time you are interacting with them.
RapReplies
True story
Ruhig
"OH GOD, that apple kind of looks like a butt. Now I can't stand up for 20 minutes."
joboo
That's one benefit of going to Hooters. Learning to tame the untamable boner.
THRILLHOUSE69
They do it for (cash) tips. You don't have to be a genius to work at Hooters but you're probably taking in more money than any other place
onikame
Yup, as a male that waited tables for the better part of a decade. Waitresses consistently made 20-40% more tips than the guys with = sales
As a female that waited tables for the better part of 4 years, unless your clients have every called you "sugar tits," groped you, or
So you're sayong that the gropes and the innuendos are just the price of the higher tips? Seems like a jaded view.
certainly not, I was commenting that the job is more lucrative for women. We had a policy that the women couldn't walk out to their 1/2
cars alone. It's good rule. if a girl chooses to work in an environment like Hooters for better money, that's her choice. Bystanders 2/3
Well then I can continue to stand. And I stand by you for any creepy, and/or improper behavior that came your way.
followed you to your car, please sit the fuck down.
CokieMonster69
Thats a pretty rude response to a an honest statement
You don't think my answer was honest? Men complain heavily about jobs/careers where women are paid more even though that's like 4% of all
jobs, and it's objectively more dangerous (in terms of assault and harassment) to be a female server.
hanspotterent3
"Army of polite older ladies" restaurants must work differently than retail. Because those don't exist in my world.
redloki55
you must misunderstand how some 'Hooters' male clientele behave towards their servers
Nope I understand
LordTacoHatTheThird
Agreed. Agreed so much it hurts my bones.
slinkiisu
In retail older ladies are the scourge of the store...
stealthjet01
Ever had someone tell you what they want on a sandwich, watch you make it, confirm that its what they wanted, and complain 20 mins later?
lostintransmutation
The large groups of snow birds we get are the worst. Whiny, horrible tippers. Always looking for discounts. (We have an 18 cent soup...wtf)
Depends on the generation. I find most old ladies to be super nice. It's the middle aged women who cause problems.
HypocriticalBastard
It’s not that they’re mean, it’s that they’re slow, use checks, are hard of hearing, and can’t see well either
Iamabananaaa
Although hooters isn’t the best or worst I don’t understand the point of going there to flirt or be overly pushy with a waitress
Bukkhockey
Yeah, acting like that is more for the Twin Peaks staff. They are actually a little pushy with their role as servers.
mattyrich12
Fills that niche for loser men who otherwise can't get an attractive woman to give them the time of day. The food is very mediocre.
Blastergv9
You can go there for the scenery without having to flirt or be pushy
Well yeah of course. That’s an obvious given that I stated. But some guys don’t see it that way. One of my exes was a waitress there
Yea there are always assholes, for sure. I like to look, but I don't get impolite obnoxious ones either
Some men are mere animals. I'm a man, so it's easy to see.
Spoken from nipplepanties himself, but yes it’s true. A couple of my friends are that way and I love them but that shit frustrates me
Lahoura
I'm sure the guys who go to be a pushy creep think dick pics count as casual flirting
2020Gamer
I always dreaded the day that someone in my family/friends would take me and expect me to flirt with the waitresses.
Saturniidae
A safe space to openly ogle women. Stare as long as you want without feeling like you're invading some random girl's privacy.
lfrdwork
As a guy, I never really got the appeal either, but it was fun when a lesbian friend insisted on going there and watching her interactions!
KadeDoyle
I think that the waitresses at hooters/twinpeaks are usually nicer to ya so there is that
llamalibrarian
Because they survive on tip money
So do regular waitresses. I'm saying that the girls at those kinds of restaraunts are more conscious of that and are nicer for it
I imagine there must be some job insecurity if you can be fired for not fitting into the one size uniform, or if you ppl decide you aren't..
..pretty enough or your boobs are big enough. There's an added sexual element that must make it stressful
Andyatlast
Because a lot of guys think a waitress being friendly and trying to earn a tip means she is interested in them.
Eunjae
Nah, they know they're not interested in them. They still decide to pretend as if they don't and do their creepy thing.
splatking
this one time though, a waitress was kinda flirty, like more than usual... so I asked her out on a whim, and then we got married.
OwlFarm
Likely because they feign interest to exploit the base impulses of men in order to garner a large tip based on looks instead of ability.
LeSethX
I think the same way about strip clubs. Why would I want to pay a lot of money to leave horny?
DynamicWeight
Yeah! I mean, if a hot girl hasn't given me sex everything else we did was worthless and no fun! And just looking at naked girls? YUCK!
Yeah I’m gonna be 29 in a month and I’ve only been to one stripe club for a bachelor party. Never really saw the point in them. Total waste
32 and I've only been to 2. The stripper karaoke one was funny, but the room was too hot
DPCerberusBlaze
I went to one once and there was just an air of sadness from all the lonely guys. Got some good dating/life advice from a stripper tho.
Ooh! Sexy ladies AND a cooling breeze of sadness? Now I want to go
sharkba1t
which was????
Personally, I take advice from people who I aspire to be. Not judging, just sayin’
jimmyriba
It's a place where sexy women dance sexily. If you leave horny, they've been successful. Congrats, go have a lovely wank at home. :)
hoefty
That's the point though. I can watch way more attractive women have sex and jerk it at home for free. Prostitution I understand 1/
I just don't get paying to see an inferior show in person. Unless a ton of guys like edging and won't admit it it makes very little sense./2
Think of it like a football match or a concert: It's a show, and it's more fun to see live than on a screen. And even though it's more 1/2
shhep
As non-american this is super fkn weird. As a novelty, adult place, sure. As a chain built on sexy girls in their early 20s? Fucked up
Countries with boobs showing in their cereal commercials don't get to preach about morality.
Catfoood
Does your country have strip clubs? Do they serve food in these establishments?
You don’t understand why men (and some women) would go to a place where they’re guaranteed to see a attractive, scantily clad women?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
What's wrong with that? Do you have problems with strip clubs? Think of it as a chain strip club that also sells food.
Shittyperson
No strip clubs in most of europe, only clubs (whorehouses). Teasing is a really american concept.
Because whorehouses arent allowed here
ValueBear12
Wait until you hear about the bikini barista shacks then.
Tunisia
They're not the only chain operating in that space, either - as a Brit, I was surprised to learn of the Tilted Kilt.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
What's Tilted Kilt?
It is like hooters, but with more focus on ass. The servers wear tiny miniskirts patterned like kilts
ImInnocentISwear
Twin Peaks is another competitor
CrazyCarI
I thought it was like an inverted Hooters. It's just reskinned
crowkiller06
Tilted Kilt is terrible.
Secretsquid
I agree. Service sucked, patronage sucked, food sucked and was over priced, it's like a black hole for everything that can be decent
OhGodDoIReallyHaveToDoThis
But I bet the boobage was expansive and covered in tartan, and the panties were tiny. I hate being led around by my penis.
You live in a country I'm assuming that believe is living wages, and restaraunts paying said wages, instead of relying on tips.
Shrewd observation. I guess that never occurred to me.
TrijezniMujo
just the tips?
Minimum wage for restaurant servers usually amounts to about half or a third of minimum wage elsewhere, so they have to supplement with tips
So much so that, in a good night of all but blatant asskissing/flirting and/or peepshowing, a server can expect to make about double minimum
Was sorta making an archer reference. But 1+ for effort
Wage an hour, but....that's an exceptionally good night, and way more effort and work than should be necessary. The effect this work, and-
SirDownvote
As an American, how is it fucked up? I'm just asking, not trying to be rude
It's the same league as child beauty contests. Like, objectively, yeah, you can do that. But everyone I know would feel so dirty being
Children being paraded around is not the same as adult women using their looks to get tips.
JaydaCorgiSmasher
Although I do wonder if they are linked.
involved in either. A vanilla strip club with mediocre food? I'd rather have good food and legit strip club instead. It'd be more honest.
ZimGenzko
Because it exploits the idea that girls have to be sexually objectified to make a living. Which happens if you don’t have minimum wages.
prepareyourbutt
you do know hooters exist in countries without tips right? china and japan for example...
I wish I could’ve been sexually objectified for money in college
"Have to be" or "can be". Sex has value and I'd assume Hooters pays more than the competition.
Lookatmyemailaddress
No one is saying girls have to be sexually objectified to make a living. There is a market if you're willing but its not a requirement
We’re talking about hooters here. That’s their entire business model.

Although hooters isn’t the best or worst I don’t understand the point of going there to flirt or be overly pushy with a waitress
Bukkhockey
Yeah, acting like that is more for the Twin Peaks staff. They are actually a little pushy with their role as servers.
mattyrich12
Fills that niche for loser men who otherwise can't get an attractive woman to give them the time of day. The food is very mediocre.
Blastergv9
You can go there for the scenery without having to flirt or be pushy
Iamabananaaa
Well yeah of course. That’s an obvious given that I stated. But some guys don’t see it that way. One of my exes was a waitress there
Blastergv9
Yea there are always assholes, for sure. I like to look, but I don't get impolite obnoxious ones either
nipplepanties
Some men are mere animals. I'm a man, so it's easy to see.
Iamabananaaa
Spoken from nipplepanties himself, but yes it’s true. A couple of my friends are that way and I love them but that shit frustrates me
Lahoura
I'm sure the guys who go to be a pushy creep think dick pics count as casual flirting
2020Gamer
I always dreaded the day that someone in my family/friends would take me and expect me to flirt with the waitresses.
Saturniidae
A safe space to openly ogle women. Stare as long as you want without feeling like you're invading some random girl's privacy.
lfrdwork
As a guy, I never really got the appeal either, but it was fun when a lesbian friend insisted on going there and watching her interactions!
KadeDoyle
I think that the waitresses at hooters/twinpeaks are usually nicer to ya so there is that
llamalibrarian
Because they survive on tip money
KadeDoyle
So do regular waitresses. I'm saying that the girls at those kinds of restaraunts are more conscious of that and are nicer for it
llamalibrarian
I imagine there must be some job insecurity if you can be fired for not fitting into the one size uniform, or if you ppl decide you aren't..
llamalibrarian
..pretty enough or your boobs are big enough. There's an added sexual element that must make it stressful
Andyatlast
Because a lot of guys think a waitress being friendly and trying to earn a tip means she is interested in them.
Eunjae
Nah, they know they're not interested in them. They still decide to pretend as if they don't and do their creepy thing.
splatking
this one time though, a waitress was kinda flirty, like more than usual... so I asked her out on a whim, and then we got married.
OwlFarm
Likely because they feign interest to exploit the base impulses of men in order to garner a large tip based on looks instead of ability.
LeSethX
I think the same way about strip clubs. Why would I want to pay a lot of money to leave horny?
DynamicWeight
Yeah! I mean, if a hot girl hasn't given me sex everything else we did was worthless and no fun! And just looking at naked girls? YUCK!
Iamabananaaa
Yeah I’m gonna be 29 in a month and I’ve only been to one stripe club for a bachelor party. Never really saw the point in them. Total waste
LeSethX
32 and I've only been to 2. The stripper karaoke one was funny, but the room was too hot
DPCerberusBlaze
I went to one once and there was just an air of sadness from all the lonely guys. Got some good dating/life advice from a stripper tho.
skincancerisfun
Ooh! Sexy ladies AND a cooling breeze of sadness? Now I want to go
sharkba1t
which was????
CokieMonster69
Personally, I take advice from people who I aspire to be. Not judging, just sayin’
jimmyriba
It's a place where sexy women dance sexily. If you leave horny, they've been successful. Congrats, go have a lovely wank at home. :)
hoefty
That's the point though. I can watch way more attractive women have sex and jerk it at home for free. Prostitution I understand 1/
hoefty
I just don't get paying to see an inferior show in person. Unless a ton of guys like edging and won't admit it it makes very little sense./2
jimmyriba
Think of it like a football match or a concert: It's a show, and it's more fun to see live than on a screen. And even though it's more 1/2
shhep
As non-american this is super fkn weird. As a novelty, adult place, sure. As a chain built on sexy girls in their early 20s? Fucked up
sexymeetzey
Countries with boobs showing in their cereal commercials don't get to preach about morality.
Catfoood
Does your country have strip clubs? Do they serve food in these establishments?
CokieMonster69
You don’t understand why men (and some women) would go to a place where they’re guaranteed to see a attractive, scantily clad women?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
What's wrong with that? Do you have problems with strip clubs? Think of it as a chain strip club that also sells food.
Shittyperson
No strip clubs in most of europe, only clubs (whorehouses). Teasing is a really american concept.
merlinious
Because whorehouses arent allowed here
ValueBear12
Wait until you hear about the bikini barista shacks then.
Tunisia
They're not the only chain operating in that space, either - as a Brit, I was surprised to learn of the Tilted Kilt.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
What's Tilted Kilt?
merlinious
It is like hooters, but with more focus on ass. The servers wear tiny miniskirts patterned like kilts
ImInnocentISwear
Twin Peaks is another competitor
CrazyCarI
I thought it was like an inverted Hooters. It's just reskinned
crowkiller06
Tilted Kilt is terrible.
Secretsquid
I agree. Service sucked, patronage sucked, food sucked and was over priced, it's like a black hole for everything that can be decent
OhGodDoIReallyHaveToDoThis
But I bet the boobage was expansive and covered in tartan, and the panties were tiny. I hate being led around by my penis.
Imhereforthelurking
You live in a country I'm assuming that believe is living wages, and restaraunts paying said wages, instead of relying on tips.
shhep
Shrewd observation. I guess that never occurred to me.
TrijezniMujo
just the tips?
Imhereforthelurking
Minimum wage for restaurant servers usually amounts to about half or a third of minimum wage elsewhere, so they have to supplement with tips
Imhereforthelurking
So much so that, in a good night of all but blatant asskissing/flirting and/or peepshowing, a server can expect to make about double minimum
TrijezniMujo
Was sorta making an archer reference. But 1+ for effort
Imhereforthelurking
Wage an hour, but....that's an exceptionally good night, and way more effort and work than should be necessary. The effect this work, and-
SirDownvote
As an American, how is it fucked up? I'm just asking, not trying to be rude
shhep
It's the same league as child beauty contests. Like, objectively, yeah, you can do that. But everyone I know would feel so dirty being
causality
Children being paraded around is not the same as adult women using their looks to get tips.
JaydaCorgiSmasher
Although I do wonder if they are linked.
shhep
involved in either. A vanilla strip club with mediocre food? I'd rather have good food and legit strip club instead. It'd be more honest.
ZimGenzko
Because it exploits the idea that girls have to be sexually objectified to make a living. Which happens if you don’t have minimum wages.
prepareyourbutt
you do know hooters exist in countries without tips right? china and japan for example...
CokieMonster69
I wish I could’ve been sexually objectified for money in college
DynamicWeight
"Have to be" or "can be". Sex has value and I'd assume Hooters pays more than the competition.
Lookatmyemailaddress
No one is saying girls have to be sexually objectified to make a living. There is a market if you're willing but its not a requirement
ZimGenzko
We’re talking about hooters here. That’s their entire business model.
