She still looks good, but the end of the first comment sums it up tho':
[quote]No, Miss, I did NOT order a muffin top to go with those wings! And if I wanted an overweight, out-of-shape waitress, I'd eat at Denny's.[/quote]

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

I'll never understand the preference so many people seem to have for the emaciated look.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

yeah i agree...the skin and bones look never worked for me.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

Hooters is within their rights to do this. But as I look at her, the issue to me isn't weight. If she was wearing a more supportive bra she'd look darn good. She's letting her breasts carry too low, it makes the rest of her body look a lil dumpy.

Attractive girl though. And that first commenter does have a point, take the free gym membership! In 30 days she'll go from a 7-8 to a 8-9.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

Are the people that "dine" at such a classy place like Hooters really that picky?

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

I do enjoy wings from hooters. I don't like hanging out with the typically creepy guys wearing camo. I get them to go.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I was there Friday and my waitress was twice as fat. I actually love their chicken wings, i dont really like non-breaded wings so Hooters is really the only place that has good breaded wings. I like them enough so to buy them at the grocery store. The only thing i hate about Hooters is that you have to sit on stools or crapy uncomfortable chairs, Im a booth guy. [/FONT][/COLOR]

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

mlm -- exactly. I don't like slimy wings, breading helps a lot.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

hooters food= awful

Other then obvious why folks go there is beyond me.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

I love the I go for the wings excuse. C'mon, if you think they have good wings, you don't know what good wings are.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

They offered her a FREE gym membership and salads to lose a few pounds.

If she doesn't realize they expect you to be fit at that job or meet a certain look....work somewhere else, lady.

They should fire her for whining and the bad publicity. If she actually sues over this, good luck finding another job...everyone in the industry will be looking out for her.

It's their business and they can run it how they want. It's not discrimination...they hired her. If she's not meeting their well-known standards that I'm sure she has a copy of in the company handbook...that's her problem, not theirs.

I'm not a fan of the restaurant, but hey, it's their business and they can set the standards they expect from their employee just like any other business. If I started swapping out my ties for tie-tied shirts at my job, I'd expect a reprimand too...and I wouldn't even consider suing over it.

Lady is looking for a quick payday and her 15 minutes.

They're cooked nicely, tender and drop off the bone pretty well. But the sauce sucks IMO, and as we know, sauce is the key to buffalo wings.

Really? She looks a little used up to me. Throw in the mushroom cap and I don't put her at anything better than a 6. At best. Different strokes I guess.

Yeah I feel like she's pretty decent lookin, just needs to pay attention to a few details. Get a better bra and some better posture and that would take care of the lion's share of it, stuff like that goes a long way. Then that free gym membership and she's good to go.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

I don't go to Hooters for the wings or any food for that matter. I go to see a pretty women with huge juggs run around in skimpy outfits and in return I help them pay for their college, drug fix, or their kids groceries.

If they loose the nylons they gain more of my business.

Sorry, but this made me laugh. What industry?

The "Pay-Me-To-Shake-My-Ass" industry? I guess stripping and porn is out for her. Life = over. :D

I was going to say that as well. I think he was referring to the restaurant industry and in that case she be out of a job for a mere 10 minutes, that industry is always hiring.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

I'm sure, but if being a waitress is her life goal I think she's getting what she deserves...

Honestly, I would think that being hot with your knockers hanging out at like an Applebee's would be better tip-wise because you don't have any competition.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?

You don't think local restaurant owners talk to each other?

No one will hire her if they think she'll sue as soon as they make her work or comply with a simple request/rule.

You are right she will never find a waiting job again in all of Detroit. :hitfan:

Would not knock the profession I know quiet a few folks in the DC area working at top end restaurants pulling down six figures.

I am willing to bet a Hooters waitress in a metropolitan market makes around $50k a year.

That would be totally insane. I can't imagine the turnover at high end restaurants nightly (even though they're expensive) being enough to support that kind of cash. DAMN!

Have GMScud weigh in, I am sure he has seen it as well.

You know who really makes bank, a Bell Man in a nice hotel. Never mind the tips the amount of kick backs they get from, tours, cabs, etc... is through the roof.

I had a friend who worked at a Ruby Tuesdays in my area and was pulling down $40k. So yeah in a metro area I would say $50k at the least.

Is this emaciated? (swimsuit pic, but linked in case people are at work)

[url]http://www.ruggedelegantliving.com/a/images/Miss.Utah.swimsuit.winner.jpg[/url]

no, it's just someone who takes pretty good care of their body

the girl in question isn't nasty, but whereas they could hire someone without even minor bulges in her waist and hip area (aka the muffin top) instead of continuing to employ her they've got a reason to protect their interests

it's not like they just straight up fired her.. I'm sure they could find something that she'd done wrong at work and gone about it that way, they're giving her a chance

hooters waitresses are less waitresses and more company models

Yeah this sounds about right to me. Problem is they often have to pay for health insurance out of pocket. Restaurants are not known for providing the best health insurance, though admittedly I don't know what Hooters' benefits are like specifically.

$50K for a company like Citi in a data analyst type role, or something like that, is worth a lot more than $50K from waiting tables at a typical restaurant.

IF both are making $50k I willing to bet the Hooters waitress net pay is higher.

But you are right Citi job is a career so eventually over time that person will make more money.

I am also just saying if you are looking for a well paying job that doesn't require a ton of education waiting tables or bartending may be a good route for you. I will add it is a lot of hard work and very stressful.

I know they give waitresses a 1 month gym membership if they are out of shape ;)

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I waited tables for a couple years while in school and once i worked my way up to good shifts and preferred sections I would make around 300 a week working around 15 hours. This was at a chain restaurant in Richmond that closed down. People working the same chain in the DC area were supposedly making at least 75k a year working full time.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]But i didnt have to worry about health insurance at the time. But i also only reported like 30% of my credit card tips (which was the minium) and 0% of my cash tips (which wasnt much anyways). That said most people i know at other restrurants had to report different because of the way the tip out system worked. [/FONT][/COLOR]

They aren't going to claim over 60% (usually more) of their tips. That's 60% of their income tax-free. Basic single person health insurance is about $ 90-100 per month. The waitress nets out ahead.

Per year yeah, but when they're not so pretty anymore and ready to start a family, they'll wish they could even get a bank teller job.

[quote=tryfuhl;702196]Per year yeah, but when they're not so pretty anymore and ready to start a family, they'll wish they could even get a bank teller job.[/quote]Agreed. But they can make very good money while young to finance an education. Unfortunately many who start out in the bartender/waitress industry get used to the quick cash and don't plan ahead.

Indeed. I know a few Hooters girls that used it to pay their way through college. I know a few that got pregnant, became cheating housewives to servicemen, etc

1000% agree. She looks like she smokes two cigarettes at a time.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

It is the Detroit area what did you expect. I have a Hooters only a few miles from me in Taylor MI. It opened up I think about 10 years ago. Of course for the grand opening they brought in the hot southern babes, then after a week brought in the local girls. Most of the waitresses look similar to the girl in the pic, with very few actually above average in looks. Thing about Hooters is the food is fine, but too pricey for what you are getting. If the girls looked like the babes from Fla, GA, or the other deep southern states, then yeah I wouldn't mind higher prices to get some extra eye candy, but not for some average dumpy looking gal.

That is exactly who waitresses there in Downriver Detroit, college gals needing money or their not so lucky unwed mom coworkers. The girl in the pic looks like the average Hooters gal in the Taylor restaurant.

Re: Too FAT for Hooters?
 

My city has the same standards for police officers....you have to be fit and you get free gym membership along with you badge and glock. This chick needs to hit the gym if she wants to work at Hooters.
