Waaaay too many college brats have that "they owe me" attitude & wouldn't be seen dead in a service industry job. I say good for her. And this comes from someone who won't go to Hooters on a dare (I hate the place).
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.
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!
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.
the truth is....most of them are on drugs, and heavy alcohol, and have allowed themselves to be surgically enhanced.......
Hooters is the very example of America's downfall morally, spiritually, economically, and emotionally...
and its not because Hooters exists, but because its so acceptable to people who otherwise claim to be good Christians, or Mormons, or Jews, or family people or conservatives...all relative what passes nowadays for a "family" restaurant..
...a once brave and honest people, now reduced to having their dtrs for all practical purposes exposing themselves so they can make a buck....
congratulations America....it took 200 yrs but you're just about to the bottom...
