Hooters employees complain that new uniform shorts are too skimpy​

A new look to the Hooters uniform has some employees voicing their concerns on social media.

The new-look uniform looks to make the traditionally short shorts that Hooters waitresses wear even shorter. In fact, some waitresses describe them in videos shared on social media as more “like underwear.”

Most of the videos have been shared on Tik Tok, several garnering more than one million views.

Hooters restaurants are operated by two companies, Hooters of America and The Original Hooters group, according to NBC News.

The Original Hooters has a total of 25 locations in Chicago, New York, and Tampa Bay, Florida, the report said. Those locations will not change from the standard uniforms.

Hooters of America has more than 420 Hooters restaurants in the U.S. and 28 other countries. Those locations have started rolling out the new look.

“The new uniforms were the result of a collaboration with Hooters Girls,” Hooters of America said in an email to NBC News. “These uniforms have been worn for months in several Texas markets and have received overwhelmingly favorable reviews from both Hooters Girls and customers.”

It told NBC News that it appreciates feedback “both positive and negative, regarding a more accommodating and inclusive image policy on tattoos, jewelry, nails, hairstyles as well as new uniforms — to include new top styles, shorts and the addition of socks.”

Admittedly, I'm surprised Hooters is still around. I'd figure the woke crusades would've shut it down for objectifying women or the lack of inclusivity or succeeded in diversifying the waiting staff with trannies and killing off the restaurant with tanking patronage.

Hooters just don't give a fuck.

The desire for boob is too powerful for the woke to stop.

Any attempt to ban Porn and other parts of the sex industry would go about as well as prohibition or the war on drugs did... IE a complete and total failure that will backfire massively.
 
First anyone who is not crawling out of a desert and eating at a Hooters is a scumbag and second:
Janine, I'm sure a woman with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top flight job in the housekeeping or food service industry
 
I've never been to a Hooters, but from what I've seen, you not going for the fine cuisine, you're going to look at women's bodies.
If the women who work there haven't noticed that, I'm amazed that they are smart enough to handle cutlery without hurting themselves.

It's basically a family-friendly titty bar.

Yes, I know. Yes, I feel the same way you probably do about the sentence above.
Some places do use them as sort of a franchise sports pub. The food is standardized enough that it will rarely be bad even if it's never great. I've seen families eat there and kids birthdays.

The shorts on the previous page are a little much, but the uniforms before weren't anything beyond what you'd see on a college campus.

It's seemingly resistant to wokeness. Shaming Coca Cola or Nike on Twitter is relatively easy, but Hooters is already shameless by design. You can only bend the Hooters business model so far before it breaks. The customers are older perverts, so a blue-haired boycott means nothing.


There's the summary of the Undercover Boss Hooters episode. It's basically a paid advertisement to try to change the company's image.

If Hooters dies, it will be because millennials and younger don't want to go there. Maybe some sexual harassment lawsuits will drain the company's coffers as well. It will be replaced by Femboy Hooters circa 2045.
 
We're living in a time where restaurant managers are so desperate that they're waiting outside of other restaurants to scalp each others employees with higher pay offers because they cannot find people to work for them. You quite literally have your pick of places to work as a server right now, 99% of which let you wear clothes that fully cover your body.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone who works at a business literally named "BOOBS" and is shocked that they're being asked to wear skimpy clothing is too retarded to realize this.
 
Okay I can understand not wanting to wear those, if only for comfort's sake. Who wants to to work all day with a wedgie?
There probably are a few people who'd like that.... but they're also the kind of people who you'd never want to see in short shorts.

Remember, the probability of a person being into a given sexual kink is inversely proportional to how much you'd want to WATCH that person perform said kink.

Slacktivism 101: Boycott places you weren't going to use anyway, so your quality-of-life remains unaffected.
 
I dunno, but after posting that I realized it'd be funny for a reason I didn't even think of - "Come to Hooters! No, we're not called that because of girls with skimpy outfits, we're called Hooters because you can only see their eyes!"

It'd be as much of a joke as an IHOP owner giving all of his waitresses crutches.
I remember IHOB.

Agreed, these just ride up too high to comfortable and I wouldn't want to work like that. I'm too old anyway but even when I was right age I always shopped at mommy and granny side for underwear. At time thongs and tiny hipster were all the rage with cute panties for the young hotties but I couldn't arsed to walk around with all day wedgies.

I think Hooters should have few different skimpy bottoms to choose from. I get more is always more expensive and can eat the uniform mood setting but I'm thinking something like two choices in same color so nothing huge. Even hot fit girls have some body variety so it's not like everyone looks their best at same pants anyway. Those ladies who like underwear look or client response can go with that and others can go with something like legacy pants.
