not for nothing, but because of the anti-discrimination laws, anyone can work at Hooters - it is not a strip club type of place - they can't not hire you based on your body!!
I think there is a body of case law DIRECTLY relating to Hooters that you might want to read. 
Hooters is considered partly "entertainment" - and for that purpose, they can discriminate based on gender and looks. (A male sued Hooters b/c they wouldn't hire him. Famous case.)
Liza, sadly, LOTS of things are done that shouldnt or cant be.
there was this whole clip on the radio this past summer about Abercrombie putting ONLY the hotties at the front of the store, and the "less" hot you are, the further back, and even into the stockroom you go..
at first its  but in reality it's   
now I see why I dont "advertise" for any brand name.  
as far as the OP, and Hooters, I can totally see how you were thrown off, Im picturing a totally shy friend of mine,and I would have been too at first and 
but, God bless your friend, good for her.
If she feels comfortable and she's not made to feel embarassed or anything uncomfortable, more power to her.
Oh man - wonder where I would end up at this point!!!

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
I worked at hooters for a long time, about 5 years ago. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the job and the $$ is unbelievable. If I were single (and still had the same shape I had back then) I would still work there. I was never uncomfortable working there. I was wearing clothes.

I don't see any difference in working at hooters, and bartending or waitressing inone of the nice clubs/bars/lounges in the city. If you notice all the girls who work there are gorgeous in low cut tops and mini skirts.

In reality (say, I'm debating a waitress position in hooters), NO WAY. I don't want any  -money. to me the money is dirty. I want my income to come only from hard manual labor or intellectual productivity. I would honestly think less of myself if I got money for being pretty.... is it right to think that way? likely not. but that's how I honestly feel.......
Ok, really? Honestly?
When I was 19, I the manager of a golf pro shop and one day one of the cart guys called in sick, so I had to do his job for him and in 2 hours I made $300 in tips-wearing a golf shirt and shorts-and lugging bags and running carts and you know why? Because i was cute. So, honestly? Isn't that manual labor?
To call earning money like that is just riduculous. Dirty is getting a disease, she isn't going to get a disease working at Hooters.

I waitressed in topless clubs while in college
I see nothing wrong with it, and its GOOD money!!!
i am curious - you didn't have to BE topless while waitressing there, did you? you just had to serve drinks and shiit while other women danced nude?

I would do it in a heartbeat!!! I used to be a candy girl in clubs in the city, and it was all about fishnets and cleavage, and I raked in the dough on the weekends like you wouldnt believe!!!
interesting. what is a candy girl??
and didn't some guy sue hooters b/c they wouldn't hire him as a waiter?? i thought i remember hearing that story. i checked the website after reading your post and it DOES state that in order to be a server you need to be female - hmm, maybe they found a loop-hole in the law on that one. it said for anything else men are welcome.

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
One of my good friends' two sisters worked at Hooters. I know them well and they raked in a pretty penny! I actually applied to Hooters when I first moved to NYC...I wasn't hired...assuming it was b/c of my lack of experience (or maybe I wasn't hot enought). You have to do what you have to do, to a point....the choice of profession could certainly be a lot worse!

god, now that you mention it - and i think about it - it seems like that theory is correct. i am thinking back to the people i have seen in the front, middle and back and they (every single time) have been less and less attractive the further back you get - wow! maybe just a coincidence but that's unbelievable and terrible at the same time.

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
It's not like she's sleeping with guys for money. If guys want to pay for her to go to college by looking at her goods, then I don't see anything wrong with it. A lot of people have to put themselves through school and jobs like this and stripping can be an easier way to do it. I'm sure it's not a career move.

I can think of a lot worse ways to support yourself. what she's doing is perfectly legal. and while some might be shocked by it (like her religious parents), I say - good for her!

Not that there's anything wrong with that (for those strippers on this website).

yep TONS of former employees of that store called in to the station and said it happened constantly constantly constantly. and some of the ones who called were stockroom workers

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
whatever pays the bills---nothing wrong with it. and really if you think about it-- a lot of times when you are a waitress you are using your sex appeal to get a few extra bucks in tips. i waitressed for 5 years---and i knew when to smile and flirt with customers who i figured would be a little more generous if i was being more friendly. (a shirt thats tight on my big boobs helped a great deal too)
i don't see anything wrong with using what you got to work it. more power to ya

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
interesting. what is a candy girl??
like the old fashioned cigarette girls who would walk around with that box of cigarettes and would dress all sexy? I sold cigarettes, blow pops, etc - mostly good things to s uck on when your drunk, tripping out, etc
I EASILY made 500-600 bucks a night.
Too bad I was too into partying back then. I spent it as quickly as made it. Thats what happens when your too involved in the club scene.

Re: WOW - My girlfriend just told me... (a lil long)
I "could" work there if they are looking for a certain physical attribute/appearance, but I personally would not. If your friend is shy, I can see why you would be shocked. Not knocking anyone who does it but it certainly isn't for everyone (in great shape or not). Some people are ok with careers/jobs based on their appearance, others are not.
I personally don't buy the whole "family restaurant thing". Any restaurant that has a "calendar" and is called "Hooters" is not a "family" restaurant IMO. To me it is very different than TGIF's or Applebees, etc. I have yet to see the "women of TGIF's" or "the women of Applebees" calendars. You can be older, male or female, pregnant, unattractive or heavy (all by society's standards not mine), maybe even partially disabled and still get hired at TGIF/Applebees. Try any of the above applying at Hooters.
Not even a chance with Hooters. There lies the difference. Hooters is not just "waitressing". There are a lot more criteria to meet to get hired at Hooters than average waitressing positions.
So I can see your point. It is a personal choice and opinion.
