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.”

It's basically a family-friendly titty bar.

Yes, I know. Yes, I feel the same way you probably do about the sentence above.

I worked with a guy who took his wife there for their anniversary. They were an... interesting couple.

Ages ago, I cooked at a hooters. Let me tell you guys something, there's a shit ton of hooters out there with disgusting looking women that shouldn't even have worn the old uniform let alone this new one. Real men go to tilted kilts anyhow.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

For the longest time, my grandma thought Hooters was a topless bar. It took a family friend showing her the uniform for her to realize it wasn't.

 

[Ser Prize]

I've seen families eat there and kids birthdays.

Have you seen public school sex ed? Parents gotta have some way to nudge little Timmy towards heterosexuality.

Does Hooters hire tranny or "non binary"?

It's like you've never heard of a femboy hooters.

In my day, sex ed was where some stranger told you all sex before marriage led to demon crack babies flying out the cooter.

Does Hooters hire tranny or "non binary"?

They would for BOH at least wherever legal protections applied. FOH is characterized as performers that are inherent to making a Hooters a Hooters. Appearance and gender presentation requirements are considered a Bona-fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ). Legally that means they get to essentially ignore anti-discrimination laws that are counter to this purpose. Just like Disney would need to hire people that fit in the character costumes or a pilot's license requiring vision to be at a certain level. Legal protections exist in other cases but abiding by them there would confound any efforts to actually fulfill the duties of that specific position.

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.

The food isn't even that good and the service can take up to 20 minutes just to get your drinks.
at least it was in my experience going there once on a road trip.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Gosh, I need to go back to Hooters.

Hooters girls already wear tights under their shorts right? Considering that tons of women wear tights as outerwear now, why would it matter how long the booty shorts over them are?

I imagine it's because the old uniforms look pretty normal nowadays given how many women will dress in similar clothing, whereas the new uniform ups the sex appeal enough that it's harder to pretend that's not what the outfits are about. Also checking some comments this girl ends up mentioning she averages 200-250 a day, but then also had an odd day of earning 670, so I'm a bit curious how many waitresses will still be complaining in a few months if business improves from where it's at currently.

If that's the logic, we are accelerating towards "family friendly nyotaimori" at this rate.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Can anyone explain to me what the point of hooters is? I can get better wings and see titties at a topless bar, if such is my desire.

Such is not my desire, but I at least get the appeal. Hooters is just the worst topless bar ever.

Unfortunately if you live in a place like where I live the only titty bar in town is a haven for drug dealers and not a place you'd want to actually set foot in, it's too bad the 60s "gentlemen's club" era is gone, but Hooters is a hell of a lot safer.

They do, so it's not like it's showing bare skin.

This really shouldn't be any sort of a big deal if you were already willing to work there.

 

[drfuzzyballs]

Did they complain that the fryers were hot too?

 

[ConsoleWarVet]

I've seen shit girls at strip clubs dressed more modestly than servers at Hooters and Twin Peaks. Accept your role or work at a restaurant with good food, thots.

Is that... NOT what happens?

Job market is booming. You have your pickings.

Demon crack babies slither. They don't *fly.*

tilted kilts

I got restaurants for food not tits. Why isn't there a place named dong's any way. I bet it would be highly unsanitary.

 

[elite_club]

Wait, isn't the restaurant named about breasts? I'm there to see tits, if I wanted to go to a place where I could eat wings and stare at ass, I could just go a strip club. My argument is the new uniform is too revealing in the ass, not revealing enough in the breast department.
