I was talked into going once on a high school trip in the early 90s and the waitresses at that location were B cups at most, but clearly picked just for looks. It was entertaining that the guy whose idea it was to go was extremely shy and had the hardest time just talking to the waitress. Wings were ok, but not good enough to ever go again.

More recently on an anniversary trip my wife talked us into going to Salt Life as we had been laughing about the 'slut life' looking stickers we saw back at home. It was the beach version of Hooters.

100% you were taken there for emotional support

feels like a different kind of perversion, something along the lines of "I wanna be able to go to a place with my wife and kids where I can also constantly fantasize about other women while pretending not to"

When I graduated from 8th grade (that might be different from yall, but i spent 9 yrs at a k thro 8 grade school) i wanted to go to south st with my school mates. Mom was insistent, that dinner was for me and the fams, but i could pick where we went. I was sour.

I picked hooters on delaware ave, those wonderful big tittied jawns put me up on the table, sang a song to me and there are some silly pictures that exist somewhere..

Anywhoots I forget my point. Yes lets not objectify anyone, but like any big corp or franchise, they have some workers who are great and deserve respect.

They're kinda right. Hooters is what happens when there's no outlet so it comes out weird

There was a Hooters in downtown Atlanta that was one of the few restaurants open super late in the area. We went there a few times after late night stuff for Dragon Con. That's sort of my biggest gripe about downtown Atlanta, they really do roll up those sidewalks pretty early.

I can't remember why we didn't do that. Either it was further away or the wait was crazy and we passed it. But yes, there's a Waffle House adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park. Generally I prefer to go to Metro Diner though if I can get in.

Oh, don't forget about Hoots, their brand without the outfits and the same food. Not a joke.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your comment did not mean what I thought it meant

I am deeply disappointed

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

Oh. OH. Oh my.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

Without the outfits? 🫣

[–] knotRyder@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

Me and a coworker could have stopped anywhere but we decided to eat at a Hooters just once so that we can say we did before it goes out of business

Yeah, this isn’t “sexual repression,” this is sexual control. The point is that the attractive women is in a subservient position to you.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

How about a vegan Hooters?

haven't been there in years, but they were actually my favorite wings for a time in the 90s-- large wings, none of that piddly tiny bullshit from other "chicken wing" joints, and the breading was crunchy, the best part. didn't take long for them to go downhill and consistently shitty, usually not even cooking them long enough so they were cold in the middle. tiddys are never a bad thing, but meh...they're not the reason i'm going to eat one place instead of another

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.today 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

the secret to their sauce is Frank's and butter

they did have the best wings, and if you weren't a perv you'd get good service

[–] U7826391786239@piefed.zip 9 points 3 days ago

there's a copycat place called (lol) mugs n' jugs that actually did a good job with their wings also-- actually serving bigger wings than hooters
