Hooters is hiring

[tangent4ronpaul]

I was blown away! - Fox news just had an ad. In an economy where there are 5 applicants for every job, on average - Hooters is actually advertising for hot girls.... What's up???

It's cuz the average American woman is getting uglier with each new generation

[tangent4ronpaul]

I checked out their site. Apparently, they pay their girls min wage on an hourly basis and have strict uniform requirements. There have been legal cases over weight.... There are also some groundbreaking cases over ability to discriminate over gender. They won.

They have shitty food? - heard they were OK, like a Fridays or something... Not like you would be paying attention to the food or anything.... :D

You heard wrong. But then again, I'd classify Fridays as having shitty food as well.
I do at times miss working in an office building with a hooters next door. Not for the food though.

[tjeffersonsghost]

You dont go to Hooters for the food.....

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

Is hooters an equal opportunity employer? :D

Sure.. they will hire anyone regardless of gender, race, or religion as long as they have the other correct "traits."

A whole lot of food places are hiring, as are grocery stores. People want to work at whatever they went to school for, and not some job they feel is "below" them. There is not a single big city you can look up, even online (where you will not find these "crappy" jobs), which has zero job opportunities.

There are also telemarketing and customer service jobs *all* the time. People are not lining up for those. They want to do exactly what they were doing when the economy was better. If you can't adapt, you starve... or, in the case of the USA, you go on "assistance." :(

Or you become an entrepreneur, like me. Want a telemarketing job? pm me. I'll give you all the numbers. You get paid for every lead generation that converts. lol. telemarketing jobs are dime a dozen

Their wings are disgusting. And I don't know how you fuck up hot wings.

[MelissaWV]

Their wings are disgusting. And I don't know how you fuck up hot wings.

Oof... any number of ways.

If they're breaded, you can bread them just before cooking them, which means it doesn't really adhere. You can underseason the meat. If they're fried AND breaded, your oil might not be hot enough, which means the breading will soak it up like a sponge. Your oil might also be dirty, which means that taste will be featured in your wings. You might undercook the meat, but that goes without saying. You might drop too many wings in to fry at the same time, which means they steam rather than fry, which means soggy/uncrisp wings. If they're not breaded, you might overcook them, which gives them an awful taste. You might also sauce them too late (I like to sauce early, then broil towards the end so the sugar in the sauce gets gooey for BBQ wings).

The one Hooters' wings experience I had was not satisfactory. The breading was soggy, which could have happened due to any of the aforementioned, and the seasoning was utterly lacking.

[silentshout]

I used to visit a friend of mine when she worked at Hooters. I agree, the food is not great. I used to feel sorry for her though because they require you to wear thick nude nylons under the short shorts..blech, looked uncomfortable.

[teamrican1]

Hooters has disgusting food. And the reason they have such a hard time getting hot girls is simple economics. All other things being equal female waitresses have an advantage when it comes to getting hired in the restaurant business (as do hot guys). Hooters isn't a particularly good waitress job. So to the extent they can get hot girls, it is usually girls who have never waitressed before or who were simply too stupid or had some other defect which kept them from getting hired someplace better despite their good looks. And once those hot girls they hired get some experience, they'll be looking to use Hooters as a springboard to a better job. So Hooters has a tough time getting hot girls in the first place they bleed the hot girls they do quicker than usual restaurant turnover. The one thing they could do to make the situation better is to improve the food, but Hooters has shown no inclination of aspiring to be anything other than one step above Burger King in terms of quality (and a lot greasier!).

[Vessol]

In my experience, Pizza Hut has the best hot wings out of all the fast food places.

[SooperDave]

Have you been to Hooters lately? Low quality. Mostly 4's, 5's and 6's (where 5=average).

With porn and strip clubs going mainstream in America, Hooters has struggled to recruit good talent.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

hooters is boring. waste of time, really. only losers go to bars

[speciallyblend]

strip clubs have better food and you actully get to see the ta-ta's and you get lap dances! hooters sucks!!

how is that a bad thing? :confused:

[bkreigh]

Some days the food the is great and somedays it sucks. Just like some days the waitresses are good looking and other days they aren't.

Now i havent done a scientific study on the days in which the food is good compared to the waitress or anything like that but i would bet the cook in the back has his mind on some other things than cooking food on some nights.

[dannno]

but is it ada friendly? :confused:

Are you asking if the women at strip clubs shave their hoo-has?

What does dental hygiene have to do with this :confused:

Cafe Risque in Micanopy, Florida was damn horrible. Not only did the overpriced burger suck but they charge a cover to get in. Yes you see some tits but id take Hooters over that place any day of the week.

Lap dances will cost you a trip to the ATM as well. I have nothing against lap dances (ive had my fair share) but the gals in Cafe Risque were not my type. Plus i was still pissed about the burger.

High pressure sales is a scam on both the customers and the sales people. You're living on an invisible treadmill and will become yet another castaway burnout just like all the other "salesmen" that came before you.

If only you didn't sneer at the free education the state offered you because you're a know-it-all, then you would have ended up somewhere better.

Depends on the product. Not every cold caller is a scam artist. If you don't promote your business, then you fail. And you don't f'n call random people, that's stupid. Do us a favor. Learn about what you talk about before you pretend to.

You are obviously ignorant on the B2B industry.

Every cold-caller is annoying as hell. I have never just been sitting at home with nothing to do, thinking "Gosh, I really wish someone would call me and try to sell me a product... and I want it so badly that I can't even guess what the product might be." When I am at home, I am generally fairly busy. If the phone rings, I want it to be someone I know with something important to say, or else it need not ring at all.

I have gotten a lot of really nice promotional materials, and helped proofread hundreds of them. My favorites are the ones that actually have something to do with their products. There's a local doctor's office that customizes little kits for parents to use on their kids, and provides the doctor's son's information (the son is a pediatrician). The kits are great! They have some basic first aid advice, band-aids, antibacterial ointment, a tiny bottle of hydrogen peroxide, etc.. There are also magnets, pens, calendars, and all sorts of commercials, not to mention websites.

No one needs to call me at random, knowing nothing about me but what they guess, any more than they need to come up to my door and attempt to sell me something. It's stupid. Whoever is bored enough to buy a product they don't need from someone they don't know who called them up at random doesn't impress me. If they needed the product, they would have already bought it. If they don't need the product, then they're simply making a foolish impulse buy based on nothing but a sales pitch.

Oh and as to the "omg you don't call people at random!" thing, yes, I'm aware. The timing seems random, but it's not. There are certain times of the day and night that are seen as "more fruitful" for calling. I've had the displeasure of being in charge of calling people about money owed, and used those "guidelines," except they're not really helpful. Not a whole lot of people work 9-5 anymore, and those that are "off" are often out and about, not waiting for a phonecall. Perhaps a lot of them, like me, don't answer phone numbers they don't recognize as family/friends.

You call people from lists that purport to give you valuable information about the person on the list. In reality, most of those lists are taken from all kinds of cross-sellers and are largely full of people who forgot to uncheck something somewhere on a form :rolleyes: If someone actually wanted the product you're selling so badly, they would not have let so much time elapse as they "signed up" to be called, waited for your call, and waited for your product. They would have just gone and bought it. I was never on any of these lists, thankfully, because I would simply give out a fax number whenever I was asked for a phone number for things like "club cards," and I have a spam email address for the same sort of thing.

Your entire industry is built upon the notion that the people you are calling are too lazy or stupid to buy your product on their own, and have to be called up and nudged into buying it. Seriously.

I agree with you.In my younger years I would dine at the local strip club a few times a week.Great Steak tips,a little expensive though when add in a "few' drinks......

I wasn't talking about calling people at home. I don't call anyone, really. but we are considering advertising for some sales agents to contact businesses. We rely on word of mouth, seo, review sites, and general backlinks that generate traffic.

I like "spam" mail, you find great offers sometimes. Like I received free dentist visit coupon exam + cleaning, that saves me like $129.

but there's nothing unlibertarian about it. let's get this across: I'm not about calling random homes, I'm talking about targeted B2B campaigns. Local businesses may need webhosting + website, may have a crappy host that is ripping them a new hole every month, so we would be providing them a service. If they say no, fine. That's them. There's no "fine print" the offer is clear on the table. If it converts to sales then we will keep on keeping on. if not, we will focus on what we are doing already. There's no law against calling up a business and asking them about their webhosting, is there? And we have incentives to work with i.e free domain, free months, discounted web design, etc. what's so bad about competition? Businesses want to be able to compete with their competitors, cut costs, save money, and some would like to have an online presence.

I snipped the rest because it's the same irrelevant rant over and over again. B2B is different than someone cold calling homes. Business owners are always looking for ways to cut costs, so they are likely to consider B2B offers, whilst people sitting at home don't really want telemarketers calling, that's why only the most savvy power callers succeed. but that's not what we are about

now...if I were selling ummm solar panel installations for homes, then yea, it would make more sense to call homes. but webhosting is not the type of business where you call homes. that would be kind of retarded. I mean, maybe some would be like ok "ohh yea I wanted to make a site..." and check it out. but its really a waste of time when you could be calling up businesses that want to increase their online presence / establish online presence / or save money because theyre being cluster f'd every month with a bs host charging $30 for a few gb diskspace.

don't hate the playa, hate the game...lolz

[MelissaWV]

Oh. I mistook you for one of those people that used to call my parents' house a lot.

Instead, you're one of those people who used to call me every day when I worked phones for businesses :p My favorite was the one asking me who the business had for phone service. When I mentioned the name, they said they could do much better, and the company I was with was notoriouis for dropped calls. I said "You don't say? I've never heard tha---" and hung up on them.

No, it's not against the law, and you are free to do what you'd like. These kinds of calls at businesses are worse than the ones at home. The business phone is there to do business and receive customer calls, most of the time. Instead, I got a sales pitch, and people were persistent about it. The ones I would be more interested in were the ones who sent mailers that directed me to their websites. Their consideration for my time meant I would forward the information up to the appropriate decision-maker for that product/service. The calls never got forwarded.

Food for thought :)

[specialK]

They aren't in my town. They went out of business a few years ago, even though the city is growing by leaps and bounds and economy is good. Good riddance!

[bkreigh]

thats cuz its a truckers stop and there are nothing but old people around that part of fla

Point taken.

[MelissaWV]

I now live maybe half an hour's drive from Cafe Risque.

It IS a glorified truck stop along the interstate. Frankly, if you think of it that way instead of a "strip club," it is precisely what you'd expect. It's a greasy dirty truck stop, serving nasty food in a run-down building, and the billboards promise nudity from women who were obviously in their 20s... during the 1970s and 80s when the billboards seem to have been generated. It's a truck stop with boobs on display. Not a bad business model.

No, I haven't been there, either. I've seen pictures from people who were "proud" to have gone to a strip club on their 18th birthday and went there. I'm fairly sure one of the women had a third nipple, and another one was noticably pregnant. Classy!

Spoken by someone that didn't own the business... :) hey if I was just working the phones for a company I wouldn't give a damn either. "you're one of those people" not me. I never made a B2B phone call. but it is something we are looking into. and I might be a daddy so I need to increase cashflow :p

I'll get back to what I was saying... hooters / bars are places where losers go. everyone in my local bar looks depressed and miserable about their lives. besides drinking so much isnt good for you. and now you have to walk outside to smoke? thats f'n retarded. and I think every woman in there has stds. i see some nice looking girls out in front but I think any girl hanging around there is probably an aids patient or something

and who wants to look at women dance and show their breasts? thats boring, and a total waste of moolah! youre better off finding a gf and getting all you want for free.

here's a story: once I walked into a go-go bar thinking it was the arcade I used to go to as a kid. well i knew it wasnt, I realized such when I saw a woman's breasts bouncing in front of my face. so I just ordered a drink. and when she came up to me for $$$ I told her "no thanks" and proceeded to walked out the door. I could tell that I surprised her, which was cool because I like having that effect... they don't do anything for me because I know they're bs artists. To them you are a sucker. seriously, that's what they think of guys that watch them. they think you are pathetic losers.

and this is coming from an atheist. sexual deviant? I think not ! :) well...maybe with porn, but that's a different story hehe

[Matt Collins]

I'm fairly sure one of the women had a third nippleI hear that isn't all that rare to be honest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernumerary_nipple
