(75,480 posts)for car repairs. There was a Hooters on the block, so we went there to wait. I didn't think it was so bad. Of course, back in the day I had to go to The Playboy Club with one of my employers to entertain clients. I found the outfits much more revealing and the tone was sexist. The food was so so. The girls were wearing shorts and T's so they weren't revealing anymore than they would at the gym. There wasn't the overt sexism like in the Playboy Club. I live in a beach area so you see a lot of shorts and T-shirts by both boy and girl servers in just ordinary coffee shops and donut shops whatever. I really don't get the outrage.
If they pay permits, licenses and taxes and the waitresses pay taxes, yes it's a legit business. I think the problem with Hooters is the name. If they changed the name to Herb's and nothing else, there would be no outrage.
