Wow, I didn't know that. I remember Hooters running an ad with a really hairy-chested guy dressed up in a Hooters outfit saying "Hi, I'm Vinny and I'll be your waitress" to make fun of the EEOC. It was hilarious.
EEOC drops Hooters sex-discrimination probe
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal agency has ended its four-year sexual-discrimination probe of the Hooters restaurant chain that sought to force the chain to hire waiters and not just waitresses.
A spokesman for Rep. Harris Fawell, R-Illinois, chairman of a House subcommittee on employment, said Fawell received a letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) saying it had ended its investigation.
The chain did, AFAIK, settle a privately-filed lawsuit.
