Oh this sucks: It turns out you are allowed to eat in Hooters and be reimbursed on official government travel. There is no way that should be the case. It's not like you went to Fridays and happened to have a cute waitress, it's a boob joint. Ew. Technically it's a restaurant, but it is one that is a) sleazy and b) is allowed for some reason to discriminate on the basis of gender in employment.

What if there was a restaurant called "White guys!?" They only hire white guys, where anyone can go and have white guys serve them food! Yay! It's blatant discrimination, cheesy and sleazy, but now you can spend federal taxpayer dollars eating there. Ick, ick I say.

Last time I was at hooters, they had A: a mix of men and women waiting and B: not all of them were chosen on bust size alone.

Admittedly, Hooters isn't my choice of restaurants and I'm not a frequent diner there, so, my observations may be years out of date.

I think Hooters, overall, is more marketing than actual peep show, frankly. Hooters is only titilating in the US where we're so damn prudish that the rest of the world wonders if we get our gonads surgically removed at birth.

I agree. Hooters is no big deal to any of my European friends. Plus, Hooters was sued by a man a few years ago because they didn't hire him and he won the case. For you guys, would you want to work at Hooters? I wouldn't and I'm a girl. I won't work at a Sports Bar either. If I was going to work somewhere where men were definately going to stare at me, I'd jsut hang it up and work at a strip club. They have waitresses there and they make alot more money.
