Your story is great! Thanks for the laugh. Shared it with my bride, who is now walking around the house going “Hoot! Hoot!”

I’ve got the 2025 calendar in the tool room next to the garage. There’s excellent décolletage, and not much that screams woke.

It’s a strip joint without the pole.

Also without the stripping.

It's a restaurant chain that might have attractive waitresses.

I went to them a few times. I would say food and price were both average for a sit down restaurant chain. Your assessment of the wait staff is correct. The trouble with any theme restaurant chain is once you’ve been the theme itself kind of grows stale. If not once certainly at some point down the line. Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe and others have all bitten the dust eventually. Boobs had a run I suppose. They even had a short lived airline.

Nope

Hooters employs trans women, ie they now hate their straight male customers, they went 100% woke

Thats why they are failing

Other places like Twin Peaks don’t, and they are thriving

I’ve been to a few Hooters.
They used to have good locations, great views,
and an attentive staff.
Perhaps that has changed.
When on a business trip with 12 hours+ work days,
screwing the waitress is not high on your
list. and it was better than a McDonald’s.
Maybe because when I traveled being paid to WORK!
I had little spare time outside work, eat,
and and sleep.

Why *must* Trump act?

If they fail, they fail.

It’s not his job to keep them going if the money isn’t there.

Chain restaurants in general have the same trajectory.

When they are starting out, they generate a buzz while providing superior food and service. The chain grows rapidly and is suddenly in every major market.

Once the chain matures and saturates the marketplace, it becomes difficult to maintain the bottom line. Cost cutting ensues. Portions are reduced. Many entrees are shipped frozen and microwaved on the premises. You have to start asking the waitstaff for extra napkins and for salt and pepper shakers to be brought to the table. Shortcuts are taken on ingredients. The drinks are a tad watered down. Applebees is a perfect example of this.

Eventually the chain starts closing restaurants and endures a slow (and sometimes rapid) death.

Only a few manage to break the cycle. Texas Roadhouse is an example.

No Hooters are not "Too Big To Fail."   They should try Chapter 11 and then after the judge makes it final find a buyer.

Yeah, I typed it before I read it and now I see that is what they are doing.   I despise editors who think they are clever with false headlines.

Congratulations.Where I live you couldn’t find a Hooter’s calendar within 500 miles. Skinny woke is in. I wish someone would feed the anorexic twiggies !

There must be a spot somewhere in Trump’s cabinet for Al Bundy.

As long as Al doesn't bring his alter ego, filthy lib Ed O'Neill.

RE: It’s a strip joint without the pole.

Which means a fall back position (ahem) for Mika Brzezinski who is of Polish heritage.
