Sorry, I found this burger bar more offensive than a lapdancing club
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | Liz Jones

This is probably the worst Friday night of my life - and that's saying something. I'm sat on a high stool at a small table, plasma screens are oozing sports programmes around my head and there is a grubby plastic menu in front of me that is littered with pictures of fast food.

Not a green vegetable in sight, unless you count a deep fried chilli, coated in batter.

There is the thump, thump, thump of awful music in the background, competing with the braying of table upon table of men: young men, old men, students, office workers, football supporters...

Weaving between the tables are young women bearing enormous, overflowing jugs of beer and steaming piles of food. I keep beckoning the wrong waitress, as it's so hard to tell them apart.

This is a stupid post. Not a green vegetable in sight? No lettuce on the burgers? Not to mention the rest of the clap trap she writes.

Didn’t realize the desk was that high.

The name itself is trashy as is the Hooters logo. You’d figure that out if you had any street smarts.

Same as a club called Peckers with guys in speeds would be.

That said I wouldn’t patronize one but I’m not going to bother myself about its existence.

And I find you to be a preachy, screechy, humorless git. Sorry.

Would attract gay men. Women just aren't that interested in seeing a penis.

As usual, Trey Parker and Matt Stone cut to the quick and leave little left to mock.

This is the episode “Raisins” that makes fun of Hooters. It shows what is going on there.

One step up from a strip club for lonely guys without many opportunities to see or interact with a beautiful woman who (for the sake of professionalism and tips) has to act like they LIKE them.

How pitiful.

I think his point was less on the marketability of the idea than the facade of pretending that “Hooters” is anything less or more than what it is.

This gal nedes serious shrink time.

She’s the teenager who HATES the popular girls.

Those young waitresses are having a blast and will eventually move on.

Oh to be young again.

Does she not feel exposed, knowing all these men are looking at her bottom and cleavage? ‘I feel quite covered up,’ she says. ‘This is no worse than what you see young women wearing here in Nottingham, out shopping or clubbing.’

This is true, but that is their choice. Here, exposing your thighs and cleavage is compulsory.

Wrong, wrong, wrong...these girls have a choice. You just don’t like what they picked.

LOL. I'm just saying that it is NOT a family restaurant.

It is a half step up from a strip club.

I never said anything against strip clubs.

;)

I think you missed my point . It's the use of a slang vulgar term as the name of a "family" restaurant that I was referencing.

And Chippendales would beg to differ

And if they treated it more like that, and zoned it as if it were, we would have less incidences of idiotic jubtabulous madness in residential zones where drunken hotwing fattened morons shout out the obvious: that the woman I love has a nice rack.

Mmmmmm, jugs.

Oh, jugs of beer. Guess I didn't see that part.

Most kids won't get it anyways. My girlfriend and I go there from time to time, and I haven't seen any of the rowdy behavior you and the author did. It seems to me to be a little bit of hype; there wasn't anything offensive going on; the skin exposure was much less than we had just got done seeing on Lake Lanier.

The food is average. The service was fine. The family in the next booth had well-behaved children. We left a normal sized tip, and went on our way.

No big whoop.
