They may also get fewer less attractive applicants...Hooters is known for having hot waitresses with large breasts, so if someone is a bit homely and flat chested they may never even apply.
The Tilted Kilt. Yes, it's a chain but isn't quite as expansive as Hooters (yet). We had one open next door to a Hooters here in Columbus and it's putting Hooters out of business. The food is excellent and you don't mind the hour wait with all of the eye candy. IMO they make Hooters look like Chucky Cheese. http://www.tiltedkilt.com
The Tilted Kilk blows Hooters out of the watter. Better food, better booze and better outfit for the ladies.
Buffalo Wild wings service usually sucks ass anytime. I go for wings and a beer, but I get ignored if I don't keep consuming beer.
at my Hooter's- between 1:30 and about 4, i could go in and it's so quiet i get to talk to the servers. FUN!. but one day, i had the bad luck to watch the manager interview applicants. you gotta have thick skin, a pair of balls and no esteem issues to sit through it. watched the manager take apart applicants one by one. my only complaint about it, was looking at the applicants, seeing who was actually working and asking "WTF?" because the girls working i thought were too sknny/anemic to be all that hot. some of the applicants were a little thick, but not at all unattractive. rough process to me. oh, their food the last time i went was nasty. my chicken strips had more grease in the basket than sauce. yuck.
I want you to tell the majority owner of that chain to move his arse down to Australia and start setting up shop. Queensland would be an ideal place to start, especially during summer. No seriously, get that chain down here.
There is a Buffalo Wild Wings down the road from me and I don't what kind of waitresses they have. I haven't been in there yet. But somebody told me their food isn't all that great. I used to go to Hooter's all the time, but it has been nearly 7 years since I been there. But a co-worker of mine once told me her and her girlfriend went there and she said the service was lousy. She did'nt have guys with her. The two Targets in my town only hires young, attractive, thin people. I've been to the Targets in Huntsville, AL and Columbus, GA. They have ordinary people working there. Some are overweight and they have several who are handicapped. I told them the Targets in my town won't hire them.
Really? We have a Tilted Kilt in our city as of a year or two ago, but I've never been there. Figured it was just a Hooter's imitator with the same mediocre food. Might have to check it out.
Attractive girls as waitresses?!? Whodofthunkit! There's no way they would use their looks and fake charm to get men to give them huge tips! That's unpossible! And my BWW does not have attractive girls working at it, so that kind of kills that theory.
I'm going to make a restaurant called "Buffalo Balls" and only hire waiters and make them wear thongs. Equality for all! What peeves me off is free drink nights for women at clubs and bars. Now that's discrimination.
I'd bet that the hiring practices vairy by manager and/or owner. I'm not really sure what the big deal is though... Hot girls serving Beer and wings... seems like a no-brainer.
How about a person who is a perfectly wonderful server who needs a job but is turned down because of one manager's discrimination on looks in a franchise that clearly doesn't universally consider hot blondes a necessary part of their look and appeal?
There are a lot of other resturants out there to apply with. Lets be honest, looks matter, especially in a service type position.
