It's not rude to look at the Hooters waitresses, they have chosen to work at a place called 'Hooters' after all.




i'm sure if you tip them well they have no problem with you checking out the goods!





A nun walked into a local Hooters restaurant and asked, “May I please use the restroom?”
The place was hopping with music and loud conversation and, every once in a while, the lights would turn off. Each time the lights went out, the place erupted into cheers. However, when the customers saw the nun, the room fell completely silent.
The bartender replied, “OK, Sister, but I must warn you first that there is a statue of a naked man in there and he's wearing only a fig leaf.”
“Well, then in that case I’ll just look the other way,” said the nun, as she hurried into the restroom.
After a few minutes she returned, and the whole place stopped to give her a loud Hooters round of applause.
She approached the bartender uncertainly and said, “Sir, I don’t understand. Why are they applauding me for using the restroom?”
“Well, now they know you’re one of us,” said the bartender, “would you like a drink?”
“I don’t understand!” exclaimed the puzzled nun.
“You see, Sister,” laughed the bartender, “every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out.”

Give the same 15-20% tip you'd give at any other restaurant. You don't owe the waitress something because you looked at her.
It's not like an Emily Post level of etiquette there.
The food sucks the biggest balls there, seriously. So yeah no one goes to Hooter's for their food .
I do!
LOL, my boyfriend and I went to Hooters (seriously, best BBQ wings int he area), and he was distracted by the many football screens.
This waitress walked by with the best boobs I have ever seen, so I poke my oblivious boyfriend (who is instead drooling at some random touchdown) to point out said perfect rack.
He got annoyed, saying, "babbe!!!!! I'm trying to watch the game!"
And completely missed the girl with awesome boobs.
*sigh*





I think their food fuckin sucks. The wings I had were drenched in grease w/feathers!




People absolutely do go for the wings!!! I still go there to get myself 10 Three Mile Wings, all the time.
I don't think it's weird. Working there is a joke, but I have no problem going in with my daughters (they are 6 and 2!). I don't compare that place to anything close to a SC....

I went there once, in Vegas. I was a bit let down as I was totally expecting boobs and raunch or something, but nope seemed just like a sportsbar to me, I don't know. I thought the wings were great though.





15% is considered the standard tip percentage for good service by the majority of tipping etiquette sources. (Note the person you quoted gave a range of 15-20%). But yeah, I agree with upping the tip a bit. Hooters or not, fun and flirty waitresses will get a little more.

Now, my observations of Hooters:
1. Some are better than others in terms of quality of food, service and eye candy.
2. Don't eat the wings. They look like they came from chickens on a farm near Chernobyl. Buffalo Wild Wings wings are much better.
3. Any Hooters entree + 2 glasses of Mountain Dew = instant laxative. Even moreso if you have something with hot sauce on it. Make sure 20 minutes after eating you are within walking distance of a commode.
4. Everything is overpriced compared to a similar sit down joint.
5. After you get over the whole gawk at the waitresses thing, you learn to admire the quirky aspects of the place, like the sports section of the newspaper above the urinals in the men's room, or watching table orders zip across the room on that wire.
6. If you sit at or near the bar, there's a 75% guarantee that you'll see a guy come in, take a seat at the bar, order one beer, gawk at every waitress' ass in the place in a pervy manner, leave a paltry tip, and then leave. This increases to 90% likely after 9 PM.
7. If there's a calendar girl night scheduled (usually late in the year), go in and buy one. There's a subtle joy in having a hot gal giving you a personalized autograph.
8. The calendar, autographed or not, is utterly useless for finding what the date is.

15-20% is pretty standard across the entire country at restaurants, and has been for years. This is not exactly Le Cirque...it's Hooters...the food quality and service are barely on par with a diner.
Don't take forever to bring the wings, get the spiciness correct, get the drink order correct, and I'll be more inclined to give 20%, booty shorts or not.

How am I supposed to know if she entered the order correctly, if she double-checked, or if she took her time delivering the wings vs. the cook delaying it?
I'm not going to give a "good tip" when it takes too long or I get the wrong food, no matter whose fault it is.
