Toy Yoda...

Toy Yoda... Expecting a Landcruiser, but getting the land speeder instead, a Hooter's waitress uses the Force to fight against her employer's dark side in court.
There has always been a gap between the manager who has the salary to afford to have a sense of humour and the employee. What is particularly inappropriate in this case is how the employee actually worked to increse profits and basically got pooed on from a great height.

As a side issue, and perhaps this is a British thing - can someone explain the hooters concept to me - and why anyone would want to work for the company? Especially when the workforce seems to be recruited from what is essentially a dramatically sexist point of view. Do job advertisements actually specify such things as vital statistics, or do you know instinctively if your Hooters girl or not?

feelinglistless: First, the people working at Hooters probably tend to get better tips than elsewhere due to their "friendliness" and horny males. Second, probably the same reason why some girls aspire to work in strip joints.

Yeah, that's exactly it. It's attractive to young women who would like the tips you get working in a "gentlemen's entertainment establishment," but who just can't quite bring themselves to do it. The clothing is rather skimpy, but really no worse than a lot of women wear in public during warm weather.

um, kindall. it may be skimpy, but it's still tight and all polyester. i think it's just a scheme to sell monistat.

Which I think presents another question. Who frequents 'Hooters'?

Horny middle aged men without the balls to go to a gentleman's club.

Bollocks. They serve cold beer and tasty wings. There may be an element of titillation (settle down, Beavis) to the women's attire, but it's not like they're giving out free lapdances with every pitcher.

Hooter's has gotten hit with a share of an enormous junk-fax lawsuit judgment. Wonder if there'll be anything left for her?

The food's not half bad and the waitresses are cute, although some of them have let it go to their heads. I continue to maintain that I've seen more revealing outfits on, say, beaches.
However, many Hooters establishments have tin roofs, which causes the ambient noise level to quickly escalate to deafening. Don't go there with friends if you wanna talk. I've only been there twice and walked out both times with my ears ringing, like after a rock concert.

So are their wings actually pretty good or do people say it is good just as an excuse to eat there?

Lamest thing on the menu: 20 wings and a bottle of Dom Perignon=$100.01.
I'm sure that it's a joke, but I have "friends" that actually pooled their money and ordered this.
Saddest thing? Five guys....twenty bucks each...no one thought about bringing enough for a tip. Loooooosers.

I've only been to hooters once. Took me an hour and a half to get my food and I had some barbie doll, top heavy waitress. I'm not going back.

Good buffalo wings and cold beer are not exactly rare commodities.
Guys go for the knockers.
