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!
I didn’t know they updated their logo to give the owl a vag wing
You can always walk in like an adult
Industrial society and it’s consequences.
There was a heartwarming essay in the NYT awhile back called “Why Dads Take Their Gay Sons to Hooters” by Peter Rothpletz.
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
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 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.
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.
This made me smile :)
Great article.
Thanks for linking that. Loved it.
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.
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
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(apparently >18 yo) girls just being there for their boobs.The US really is a weird place…
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?
Reminds me of that southpark episode…
Launching my new food delivery service tomorrow called Tots™ we only deliver tater-tots but every driver is stacked and scantily clad 😎
I think you mean Thots™
One of my friends proposed ‘toys for thots.’ A 501c program helping subsidize the start up costs for begining only fans models via crowd sourced low interest loans, with the interest going into future loans.
Yessssss! Points!
divorce, ffs
Does this man not know how to type “boobs” into a search engine?
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?
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.
Yeah but you can sniff them
His wife has parental controls on the home computer.
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
You have to wonder, is the wife doing this specifically and only to fuck with her husband, or does their take-out food actually have decent price-performance in some way? Maybe the food arrives really fast, or they have some dish that they excel at that no other place in the vicinity has? Maybe their chicken wings are just cheaper than KFC?
I wouldn’t be caught dead ordering food from a service like uber eats. The amount of distress that you would have to inflict upon me for me to even consider Uber Eats would be insane.
Purchasing a meal from ubereats means suffering an obscene markup that means it will always make more sense for me to go myself.
Here’s a hypothetical scenario to illustrate:
In-store price for a meal: $20
On Uber Eats:
Restaurant might mark it up 15-30% → $23-$26 just for the food, that’s not so bad, buuuut…
Plus delivery fee (say $4) + service fee (say $3) + tip (say $3) → total $33-$36
That means you’re paying ~60-80% more than going to the restaurant or picking up.
In some cases (especially for smaller meals or chain fast-food), the total jump can exceed 100% more just because you don’t want to drive ten minutes down the road.
Oh and that’s ignoring the fact that they might do something insane like eat your food or throw it into the bushes or drive around in a circle serving other people and wait for you until the end so by the time you get it your food is stone cold.
Basically the only excuse that I will accept for Uber Eats is if you suffer from some kind of physical disability that actually prevents you from leaving your home.
As far as I’m concerned, a restaurant meal is already special occasions only, and you might have more important things to do on a day like that than driving to a restaurant, or just be already drunk, or you really want to drink an alcoholic drink with your meal. A 100% markup isn’t that much in that situation.
Whether the service is reliable is a different matter … I’m definitely not paying 100% markup if there’s a significant risk that my meal won’t arrive at all. Delivery used to be more reliable than that …
Should’ve taken wife along smh
There some wives who also enjoy the scenery, if you catch my drift.
Oh yeah
I mean, if it’s Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis…
Right? Either one of them would get me, but both together? Meeeow.
