Please STOP taking your kids to Hooters- it is sad.

So I haven't made a post in a while, but I have a couple of things to rant about so here goes...

What is the deal with people taking their little kids to Hooters? And yes, I have been to Hooters. My husband often gets free coupons for wings at Hooters when the hockey team score 5 or more and the last of the only 2 times I've been there was years ago (and I intend to keep it that way). What shocked me most about the place wasn't the atrocity of uniforms the ladies wear -suntan tights and white tennis shoes and hot orange shorts, anyone? Instead, it was the amount of families who thought it appropriate to bring small children there for family dinners, birthdays, etc.... Sure, dad (or mom) wanted to see some boobies so why not get everything done at once and load up the kids to go to Hooters for a nice family meal? I was even more horrified to find that my own husband's parents thought nothing of carting him down to Hooters as a child.

Nevermind that the waitresses are scantily clad and in demeaning and hideous 80's style outfits- it's their choice to work a job where they have to succumb to establishment policies that force them to wear less and flirt harder than they would in a normal crappy restaurant- and where they'd make about the same. I've seen the people that go to Hooters and I'm sorry, but they are not going out of their way to tip high.

Just the idea of adults raising children by bringing them to eat at a place that teaches such sexism and not thinking that it could potentially impact their ideology of women and their fit into our culture is idiotic. But then, they probably never thought or cared about that in the first place.
