BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Beer & Brewing Hooters Girls - What's YOUR opinion?

I agree with PinkPrada. Being a Hooters Girl, in my opinion, is the easiest waitressing job you can have. Where else can you sit, chill and have a conversation with so many different people? Its very interesting. Granted we do have those crazies that come in occasionally, and those men who think that its a place to take our waitress home, but that doesnt take away from the numerous benefits. Yes, as Hooter girls we DO get presented with opportunities that others do not. It is a way for many women to get started in modeling. Most people can't just walk into a car show and model for them... its not that easy. And its not just that. For example... today I went on a promotion and got to hang with Aaron Tippin for a little bit. It was casual, no more than 20 people, but it was fun. Honestly, does Applebees or Zaxbys offer this? No... We make friends not only with the girls but with our customers as well. We arent what most people make us out to be. We sing, dance, serve food and make sure our guests have a good time. So the food may not be all that great... but we try to make the experience that much better.

And just to add... Hooters does not discriminate against breast size. Its how close you come to embodying the 'All American Cheerleader' look. I have a small chest.. so? I still work at Hooters with no problem

But you dont weigh over 200 pounds and have small breast or under 5 feet 4 inches either they do descemenate in some ways you have to admet tho...

I only know one girl who worked at Hooters, she now works with me in the advertising dept. She is by far the sharpest, quickest person we have ever hired, and we have TONS to learn. She has picked it up faster than anybody I have ever trained before. She is also a great mother and a fun new friend.

Big boobs? Not even close.

I don't know what the big deal is, they don't harm anyone, they're not poking anyone's eye out, and if they do well, the guy is probably enjoying it!

One of my best friends, before she got married, was dating her now-husband who insisted that he "only went to Hooter's for the wings". So she gets laid off from her job and applies at their local Hooters. She gets hired and when he comes in and finds her working at the Hooters, he has an absolute fit about it. In order to preserve the relationship, they cut a deal. She found another job and he doesn't go to Hooter's any more.

Just my 2 cents....

If they discriminate it is only the fault of that particular manager. But this happens everyday in many other jobs, not just Hooters. So to pick at just Hooters for it is not too bright. Other places such as Abercrombie & Fitch you might say discriminate as well but again, it is not the company's fault. Just the fault of those few managers who do the hiring. I am no big girl (not tall either - 4'10", 95 lbs.)but I know there were girls who worked at Hooters who were no stick skinny supermodel either.

I had to reply to this forum. Hooters has always been quite controversial. I have worked for Hooters since 1998 and I am a corporate trainer. I am proud to say that at 30 I still wear the shorts proudly even though I have a grown-up career by day. I do it for fun and the extra cash isn't too shabby. My breasts are a size "A" so I didn't get the job for my boobs. I got it because I have a great personality. I keep it because I am a good waitress and keep a good attitude. I am a nice girl...a "girl-next-door" type....not a "bleach-blonde big-boobed bimbo" (say that 3 times fast). Hooters has never intended for their girls to be stripper-like. We fire girls like that. I completely understand why some women do not want to cross the threshold of Hooters and I respect that. I also understand the ones that are Regulars because they love the food and the atmosphere. If those that hate us spent a day in the life, they'd have a different outlook.

Don't worry, I'm not the greatest hula-hooper either <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hello, I stumbled upon this forum while looking for info on brewing beer!!
I think Hooters Gals are great.
I worked in a strip joint 20 years ago. It was a great experience. I learned more about people and psychology of humans more than any class ever could have taught. 3 cheers to woman the woman of Hooters!! May you earn money and go on to show the world you did it becaues you wanted to!!
