Why is it that I find the prospect of working at Hooters so demeaning? A friend of mine is hesitant to try stripping and mentioned that she might work at Hooters instead. I had to control my gag reflex. I worked at a Hooters about 12 years ago for a grand total of about 2 weeks and found the whole experience to be more misogynistic then in any strip club environment I've encountered. And yet, working at Hooters is much more socially acceptable.
I didn't really get into it with my my friend but I guess I just feel like if you're going to objectify yourself like that why not go for the gold? Work for yourself, control your own schedule and set your own terms. A few more inches of flesh and your fattening your own pockets rather then some corporate restaurant (unless you work at a strip club chain). Plus waitressing is damn hard work. Working at Applebee's is probably just as demeaning. But maybe my attitude is skewed by too many years of working in a strip club.
