You can not judge women for sex/sex-adjacent work and still think the nature of a job is wack

Hooters waitresses complain about new uniforms, say they're "like underwear"
- Thread starter Saucycarpdog
- Start date
At least in my area, there are more than a few such places where the servers do, in fact, just wear underwear. They're not strip clubs or anything, just standard restaurants like Hooters or Twin Peaks. This seems like Hooters trying to stay competitive. Whole situation is fucked up.
I went many years ago to eat during a bachelor party and that's where folks wanted to go.
I just remember the wings being okay, but the groom-to-be, myself, and a few other folks were ready to go long before we got out.
This new "uniform" is just...c'mon.

Not necessarily. If somebody else was my ride and the collective group wants to eat there, then I guess I am eating there or I am walking home lol (really?).
It'll never be my first choice and since I stopped hanging out with them, I haven't gone since. Go figure 🤯
the difference being this is an open restaurant and not a strip club. Look we are talking about a multi-million dollar restaurant chain that has employees being asked to wear underwear like uniform to work, they don't have a choice. It's fucking ridiculous.
Came to post this. I honestly thought they went out of business. Disappointing.
They basically turned them into the Power Girl costume, yeesh.
Fix your menu first Hooters.
When Twin Peaks has a better menu and their non alcoholic menu is actually decent.
What do you have?
Tip the waitresses good at least, I'm sure they get an asshole at least several times a day.

At first I thought, "well yeah, it's Hooters" but then I saw. That's definitely a whole different ballgame.
As long as the girls have an option for what they'd rather wear, then I don't see an issue.

I went once and I was kinda... like niiice but ehhh. I'm a bit too prudish for these kindsa joints. I don't even like strip clubs that all my friends seem to rave about.
How. Prude.
How. Prude.
From reading this, it looks like they have a choice between this uniform and the old uniforms.
Went maybe three times total. Last time ('16 I recall) the food was okay for the price, but one of the first things our waitress said when she got to the table was "Thank god you're white, you'll tip better." Haven't been in the mood to go back.
Went to Twin Peaks once and the food was better. Service didn't leave much of an impression worth remembering, but sometimes that can be a good thing.

Gruden was sending his racist and sexist emails to the Hooters CEO too.
I feel scared for whoever's handling the frier.How Y'all feel about eating at Tallywackers though?
No joke I do not trust ppl who actually consider Hooters a viable dining option. Idc if the food is amazing, that shit is creepy.

Just as terrible.
That's an accident waiting to happen. Waiter trips and hot food gets all over them.
My wife and I had never heard of it when we drove by one and were like, "Holy shit! A Twin Peaks restaurant!"
We walked in and backed out like Homer into the hedges.

I personally don't see the issue. If you work at Hooters you know what the point of it is. It's like halfway to being a strip bar without being a strip bar.
is it ideal for a normal restaurant? No. But Hooters isn't a "normal" restaurant.
a lot of comments about why it exists… it's like asking why do strip joints still exist?

It's nowhere close to being a strip bar. And if this is a move to make it closer to a strip bar, then it makes perfect sense for employees to fight back if they don't want their workplace to turn into a strip bar.

If you've visited a Hooters at any point in your life, you're probably already pretty familiar with the overall Twin Peaks concept.

It's for suburban adults who are still into the idea of red sports cars and busty blondes. Everyone else knows you can find more attractive waiters serving better food at better prices at just about any non-chain bar/restaurant/pub.
Agreed. The skeezy joint is skeezy. Hooters and Twin Peaks yuck.
It's a shame because actual strip clubs have legitimatly great food and entertainment.
Except the employees no longer feel comfortable with the new uniforms. They didn't sign up for this.
Every few years i stumble about something that mentions Hooters, and everytime i´m in disbelief that it´s a real thing.
That looks so uncomfortable. I feel like I'd be adjusting that all day. Switching to all black is probably a good idea though, probably hides stains better. It is buffalo sauce, after all.
I went a few years ago with a few friends. The wings were meh. I had better and yes, there were old creepy dudes staring at the wait staff.
I never heard of Twin Peaks, but reading this. It makes Hooters seem tame in comparison.the Twin Peaks (not related to the TV show) restaurant is already drinking Hooters milkshake in getting there

I see Hooters has moved onto the last ditch effort to drum up business without becoming a strip club stage.
This kind of mandatory uniform change is pretty gross. Gimmick or not, this isn't really the same thing as short shorts.

I feel like what it has going for it is that it's consistently "okay". Haven't been to one in years, but if you're on a road trip and are paying through a small town without a great food culture, you can get a decent burger and wings. I'd eat at a hooters instead of Applebee's or olive garden.
I don't understand why these are a thing when strip clubs exist?
The old shorts look better imho even if you don't care about objectification. Those new shorts look like uncomfortable granny panties.
Before I clicked on the thread, I assumed that the new outfit looked like lingerie.
This isn't even sexy underwear. These look like the panties I use when it's my time of the month.
