Becoming a Hooters Girl isn't something everyone in the family will understand.
Chante Rivera did it a year and a half ago.
"My mom was so excited," said Rivera. "She's like, "You're going to have so much fun there. You are so pretty. I am so proud of you." My dad, he said, "I'm going to pray for you.'"
[snip]
Rivera's grandmother and friends from church didn't get it, either. "I was going to church every Sunday," Rivera said, "but now, football season, can't go."
Rivera has been working since age 13. She once worked at a Taco Bell/KFC. Her friends, many from upper-middle class homes, didn't understand that, either.
"They were like, "Oh my God." It just seemed [to them] such a lowly thing to do. But it was a job."
The uniforms aren’t nearly as cute for the Coasties.
Yeah, not particularly notable, but edible. Frankly, given the waitresses, they could serve nothing but Deep-Fried Cat Doots and they'd still have a clientele. :)
Some company was selling stripper poles for toddlers.
This is where this country is headed
Somebody FLUSH already!
I think the young lady’s having a job is great. It was just that to me, as the mother of a 19-year-old girl (among numerous other offspring), getting so exciting over a waitress position seemed a bit strange.
On the other hand, if my 16-year-old son doesn’t get off his caboose this summer, I’ll be ready to emote excessively if he *ever* achieves paid employment ;-). That reminds me, I need to give him a nudge about applying for lifeguard jobs *now*, when the snow is on the ground.
Nobody who looks like that ever starved to death. Ever.
That is true. Coast Guard uniforms also take up more space in the washer load.
I have to admit that I would not be thrilled if my daughter went to work at Hooters, but since I have raised her and trust her, she would do fine.
I agree. Many years ago I was on my second or third date with a pretty young doctor. We went to a fancy and fairly formal Boston dinner party where the conversation turned to urban renovation and how a notorious strip club had finally been closed in Boston's Combat Zone to make way for new development. I was as stunned as the rest of the guests when my date pointed out that it really wasn't a bad place to work when she had worked there as a waitress during college. After that the conversation at the table was a little awkward, but I can't say it bothered me any!
God does not have to take a back seat to a job, but attendance at church might. I have had some exposure to Hooters restaurants and people that work there, and it’s not a bad cross section of the population. I wish nothing but the best to her. With that job and her looks, she’ll learn how to spot the kind of guys she does NOT want to be around a mile away pretty soon!
I’ve taught my daughters to keep the sight of their assets for someone who loves them, not paying customers. However, they wear bathing suits to the pool, so ...
Ultimately, unless the girls are hooking on the side, it’s just a waitress job, in more clothes than some girls wear to the grocery store. (Mostly the ones who should wear burkhas ...)
“No tips, but she gets to shoot artillery sometimes.”
You’ve got to respect a woman who can handle a five-inch gun. :)
Celary with blue cheese dressing.
That’s it. I hate wings and the girls are ALL too young and skinny.
What father wouldn’t be proud to know that hundreds of men are looking at his daughter’s boobs (Nice rack, honey!) on a daily basis - and she getrs paid for it, too!
The three greatest lies:
1. I will respect you in the morning.
2. The check is in the male.
3. I go to Hooters for the food.
Yeah...WHAT guy could POSSIBLY go for her type...[er...do you have a pulse or do you suffer from a hormone deficiency? Just asking...]
Doh! Mail, not Male.
Hmmm, my niece in Colorado Springs has been after me to come visit. Might have to go and take my great-nephew to Denver for some hot wings at Hooters. May get him away from his constant request to go to Panda Express.
Odds are she is Catholic, she could go to Saturday Mass. Just sayin’.
Yes, you do. She’ll tear you up in debate, too, if you get past the deck guns, beat you at Monopoly, and post very unflattering drawings of you on the Internet ;-).
Unless you’re a good conservative, of course. She and some of her shipmates called me on Thanksgiving and were talking about the State of Washington, where they’re stationed. I had this loud, garbled chorus coming through the phone, “Yo, Anoreth’s mom, Mrs. Tax-chick, WE HATE THE GOVERNMENT!”
