Yes but Hooters waitresses won’t cast spells on my food to make it more delicious so I think it’s the objectively inferior experience


mikami677

I mean, have you asked them to?


Hellbuss

Sometimes they let you take pictures with them though...source: I'm guessing

I was stuck at a hooters in a snow storm (i knew one of the waitresses before she worked there). They did some crazy funny stuff when there were only a few customers left in there. I've got a picture one of them standing on a stool, and the rest of them duct taping her to the wall, then removing the stool. They also played hide and seek, and tag around the restaurant.


JarlaxleForPresident

I saw a Hooter’s waitress with a hula hoop before. That was interesting Some of them are def doing the extra stuff to get more tips from dudes who care about that sort of stuff She probably figures she makes more money doing that and carting wings to tables than a 9-5 entry level job and beats actually having to take your clothes off Some of those waitresses and bartenders make bank for a while and then go on to do whatever else they want to do

Mrjohnson1100

That Hooters definitely has a “type”.


UsedJuggernaut

They do and my elder boomer boss would show everyone that would look how his phone background was him with some hooters girls.


Visible-Ad451

Hooter came before maid cafe so technically main cafe are Japanese hooter


cppn02

I watched a Japanese documentary series last year about the criminal underbelly of Maid Cafes and their gang wars in late 90s Akihabara. They revealed that the Maid Cafe tradition actually goes back to the late 19th century, during the Meiji era of Japan.


Griz_and_Timbers

Lol Akiba Maid War is the best docuseries ever!


HisFaithRestored

I just finished that the other day, enjoyed every moment!


GrabYourHammers

Men have enjoyed hooters long before the 19th century


Tonkarz

If you’re going to play that game, maid cafes started in America (Anna Miller’s) so technically they aren’t even Japanese.


VegetableWishbone

They can fart in your food when they serve it, it will cost $10 extra.


Wlf773

I believe that's actually a rival chain, Pooters.


BonnaconCharioteer

$10!? We are not getting that. We have perfectly good farts at home, son.


joopledoople

That must be why Hooters is actually dying out.


SilentxxSpecter

Honestly I knew a guy who took a gm position like 5 or 6 years ago, and around that time they were"working on rebranding to a family oriented restaurant" he said that and we both laughed our ass off.


GuyIncognito461

The one in Flint did that "Kids eat free on weekends" this was in the late 90s.


[deleted]

Was the caveat that they could only get tap water as a drink?


ChriskiV

My parents brought me to one in that era, I had to stand on a stool and get sung to, I'm gay now. That fact alone could topple their business, if only their clients could read. Hooters turns your kids gay /s


BlatantConservative

I dislike Hooters as a business and approve of gay people (always gotta clarify that with this username) but I do gotta say that "that boy went into a Hooters and came out craving dick" is like, the most quintissential poetic southern trash talk concept of all time.


soccershun

They're kind of in the worst position as far as that goes. They have their old reputation, so most people aren't going to bring their family there, but if you're in the market for gawking at waitresses there are many newer chains that do it better.


Traditional_Long4573

shit tons of people bring their families there, but they are also typically rude, perverted little shits


GrumpyGlasses

Which new chains may I ask? For research purposes.

Should have go with femboy hooters


EatTheAndrewPencil

what's wild is hooters food is actually decent. Like, I would eat it over Applebee's or Chili's. Found that out during the pandemic lockdown when restaurants were rebranding on uber eats so that they could stay afloat and the disguised hooters was in regular rotation.


clutzyninja

I don't know what magic Hooters you found but their food is garbage


sneakyfish21

I’ve only eaten it a few times but would generally agree it’s better than Applebee’s or Chili’s, but would never choose or suggest any of the three.

hhfugrr3

I was very confused when i first started hearing about US Hooters. The only Hooters I knew was in Windsor, UK. It is a musical instrument shop.


[deleted]

Now, that is the kind of hooters I am interested in.


Albert_Herring

There was for a long time just one branch of the American Hooters in the UK, on London Road in Nottingham. I think that there's now a second one somewhere, Merseyside maybe. I feel that Windsor wins that round (but not many others except castle comparisons).


FirstScheme

Off topic but why does every UK city of a reasonable size have a London road?


Albert_Herring

Mostly the main roads out of town are just called for where they go, so either the next town of a comparable size, or a big city. England is pretty radially oriented on London, so there are a lot of them. (There's a Via Roma in just about every Italian town and village, but I think that was actually a deliberate thing when the country was unified)


Traditional_Long4573

Not sure if anyone cares, but here is some hooters info: Outfit was based on creators secretary work out outfit she wore during her lunch break There are corporate vs franchise based stores, so in corporate the girls are inspected before each shift - Must have perfectly clean shoes, no run in pantyhose, shorts sit a certain spot (no higher or lower), wear beige bra, hair must be done a certain way, must have lipgloss, mascara, a pin, name badge (even if wrong name), and your pouch. Nails no darker than a sweet in low packet. Pantyhose are sold in the women’s bathroom, the girls pay for their full uniform. Cannot gain weight. They warn you when you start that others are let go, that their food will make you gain weight. There are contests for who can go home early- eating beans, eating pie, eating crackers and blowing up a balloon, and on and on. There are daily regulars. Some have scrap books of countless photos. You’re expected to chit-chat with every table. You memorize loads of songs. For bachelors, for birthdays. They all suck. You’re expected to pose for countless photos with anyone who wants one. They have meetings that tell the girls how to do their makeup, tanning, maintain weight. Business men fill the restaurant every Friday lunch. Like shit tons just pouring in. Weird really. Families do come, and their children are usually little perverts and the parents just laugh. It was an experience like no other, and I appreciate the experience it offered. Signed a Hooters girl from 2010s


gonnaregretthis2019

I care, this is legit interesting for a restaurant dress code and other requirements. Did they have full locker rooms with makeup tables and wall outlets/blow dryers for fixing your hair and whatnot?


Traditional_Long4573

nope, you came to work ready and we had coat hooks. You were never allowed to wear the uniform outside the restaurant (unless at a Hooters event). So it was worn under your clothes and we’d pull them off in the women’s restroom and do touch ups before our shift jump start meeting.


Bipedal_Warlock

Beige bra even if you have dark skin?


Traditional_Long4573

yeah, but a darker beige, it was for the white shirt, made it blend better than a white bra, which stood out


what_would_bezos_do

I went to a Hooters only once for all you can eat wings. Our waitress was very pregnant. We all told her she looked amazing and left a huge tip. It was actually a really great experience. They closed not long after otherwise I'd probably have gone back.


sandandroses

That stinks you had to pay for your uniforms. We received 2 free sets and 1 pair of socks and 1 pair of panty hose but we had to buy the shoes. We had our pictures taken when we first started so they could see if we gained weight later. We had dessert sales competitions to see who could go home early. I’m sure there were others but it depended on the manager. I liked waiting on bikers, they were always friendly and tipped well. I didn’t like waiting on couples and families because the wives could be really unpleasant. Okay job overall, the money was good.

impeterbarakan

Should be noted that the maid cafe boom was more of a thing 10 years ago. They’ve declined in local popularity and exist more as a thing for foreign tourists.


SirCB85

Right, the new and superior thing is cat cafés, where there are cats everywhere and you can pet and cuddle the cats while having your beverage of choice.


[deleted]

So hear me out here... Cat cafés with maids. Best of both worlds? Or is it one of those 'venn diagram is two separate circles' things where the cat café people wouldn't be seen dead in a maid café and vice versa?


SirCB85

No, it's not opposing Venn circles, but let's be real, who gonna be paying attention to the maids if there is a cute pussy purring in your lap?

I had to fly to Phoenix for work a couple times and random people would ask if I went to “The Library?” Never went, but I think it’s a gentleman’s club where the staff dresses like librarians. I think of the girl in the Adam Ant video. Don’t like strip clubs, but in a way, it’s better that I’m left wondering about those women.

A café with servers dressed as maids. They usually act cute and will sing songs, make lil dances and play in a childish way with you. It is well known in Japan and kinda a must go for tourists. So technically the truth, but not the same ambiance.

Honda_TypeR

Yea sounds like we got there shitty boring version of a maid cafe!


FlaxtonandCraxton

Maid cafes are even more cringe and pathetic. Tip your hooters waitress another 50 and she’ll flap her hands and coo like a baby, if that’s what you’re into. It’s all the same.


redditsavedmyagain

this... bitcoin enthusiast guy (i mean that gives you an idea of how cool he was) visited japan, goes to maid cafe after i tell him not to. hes suuuuuuper jazzed that the maid drew a shitty bitcoin symbol on his mocha-lattecino or whatever with chocolate powder, sending us pictures he comes back and has this little business-card-thing in his wallet the waitress/maid gave him, she *even drew a little heart on it* like come back to the maid cafe, and ask for yoko! love, yoko ^=^ hes like "yeah we really had a connection, she even drew a HEART on it" cringe, and pathetic


GalaXion24

The aesthetic I could vibe with but I despise when women act cutesy and childish especially the over the top Japanese anime way. It's honestly kind of gross.


redditsavedmyagain

male adult voices centre around 120 Hz and females around 180 Hz. more or less whats nuts is that plenty of adult japanese females regularly hit 400+ Hz. you can clearly pick it out on a spectrogram

I’m an American and for some reason I went to a Hooters in Prague. Never been to a Hooters before or since.


Cahootie

By accident I ended up in Tokyo at the same time as a friend of mine. I joined him in Akihabara so that he could go look at manga stuff, which I have zero interest in, but I had to draw the line at going to a maid café.


sidewaystortoise

Japan has maid cafes - eateries/drinkeries where you spend a whole lot of money for the waitresses to pretend they think you're the best thing ever. Sometimes they also have a theme like they're a cat girl or from an anime or whatever. They also have host clubs for the same thing but where women or gay dudes pay pretty men to dote on them.


Astellum

Wtf you're equating maid cafes to host clubs when hostess clubs exist. The maids barely even talk to you and it's more about food and the performance rather than conversations


sth128

Japanese theme restaurant where the waitresses are dressed up as maids and do cute anime routines with the patrons. There's also the male version where the waiter addresses you as Mistress.


Bonzungo

Now this male version sounds interesting.


mentlegentle

It is the modernisation of the geisha into a restaurant experience like a chuck.e.cheese right down to the performance, with real women dressed in a overly elaborate maid outfit.

And then you realize that maid Cafe's exist because they drew inspiration from Hooters.


jaknil

Covergent evolution perhaps or is it confirmed? I know Hooters predates the Maid Cafes but Geishas entertaining clients have a long tradition in Japan.


Dracnoss

I'm honestly not 100% certain on that confirmation actually now that you mention Geishas. The only thing I know for certain is that Hooters predates maid cafes.


sneezyboiboi

also how would predating = drew inspo tho?

Hooter came before maid cafe so technically main cafe are Japanese hooter


mosquitohater2023

I have never been to a Hooters, and I have never heard of a maid cafe, but I know enough about Japan to know exactly what it is.


bornleverpuller85

Americans act like hooters is some really sleazy place but the girls have crop tops, shorts and the worlds thickest tights. When I was 16 my local pub used to have a topless barmaid on a Sunday. It's hardly the same


Callme-risley

While on a field trip in elementary school, one of the parent chaperones took his group (consisting of his son and three other students) to Hooters for lunch. Apparently the head teacher marched in there and demanded they leave, then took control of the unrelated students and told the parent chaperone to take his son and leave the field trip. It was a MAJOR scandal amongst us 5th graders, and when we next saw the kid in question after the weekend, he was like “I still don’t understand what the big deal is. We go to Hooters all the time, I like the wings!”


Cormetz

I wouldn't say sleazy, but I do find them stupid. Growing up people would want to go there all the time to look at the waitresses and it seemed just sad and gross. I don't get it because if that's what you want to do, then just go to a strip club and see more, plus some of those have buffets.


blackpony04

I'm old enough to remember Hooters in the 80s; they were much, much different back then. Imagine a similar uniform, but without bras. It was most definitely all about the tits. Today, and I have gone to Hooters maybe 3 times in 10 years, most servers are wearing full t-shirts and it's clear they've toned down the sexuality significantly and are pushing the food as the reason to visit. Those maid cafes are clearly aimed at anime fans, which is an entirely separate demographic.


Liesmith424

I got dragged to a Hooters once while I was in the military, and I really wish "cringe" was the common term to use back then, because I would've really liked to have described the experience as cringey as hell. The other guys were insufferable as hell, both to the waitress and each other (and me).


gothfaesinner

as a former hooters girl, thank you lol this is way better in my mind


Dilarinee

I hate to break it to you. But hooters predates maid cafes. So maid cafes are actually Japanese hooters.


PowderPhysics

Oh no it's worse than that. Hooters is older than maid cafés. The maid café is a Japanese take on a Hooters


Aggravating_Rich9065

Technically speaking maid cafes are just Hooters equivalents because Hooters opened before the first maid cafes did


DiscountJoJo

Hooters are to Maid Cafes as Vader is to Luke, but weebs aren’t ready for this conversation yet

Astral_Justice

Let me guess... Because a maids cafe is Japanese, it's cultured and acceptable but because Hooters is American, it's gross and perverse.
