I realize that, but in this case they are "expressing their sexuality" in a completely phony and weird way as a ruse in order to sell really bad wings and beer.
It's marketing sexy women. Happens all over the place in America.
The women go along with it because if they flirt a bit, they get nice big tips. Like a strip club where they get to keep their clothes on. If they're fine with that, I'm not going to get up in arms about it. No one forces them to work there.
EDIT: And I like the food. The Daytona wings, anyway. I much prefer breaded wings to plain too.
Dude, if you like the wings that's fine. I have friends that swear by Hooters wings, I just think they are very good.
It's like a strip club, but even more contrived and weird. The waitress has to put up with these redneck dudes (because I guess the employee handbook says so!) hitting on her because she wants the money, and they are just there for whatever gratification they get from making lewd comments and then giving her six dollars when they leave. How odd. More power to all parties involved, but I hate that place.

I'm cool with that. I very much dislike strip clubs myself. But I just don't think of Hooters in the same way because I just treat it as a sports bar, and ignore the lame dudes and the mostly ugly waitresses.

I hadn't been to the one here in quite some time. The last time I went I was not impressed with the scenery but today.......jeez.......they must have shipped those girls in from babesville!!!!
Our marketing manager travels to Springfield quite a bit and echoed your sentiments just last week.
The one you can see from the highway, yeah?
You can't be serious, I live in good old Springburg (Grad student at Missouri St.) and was at Hooter's last night. Our waitress looked like a man, and I probably wouldn't have taken home half of them, let alone date them.
There were two girls in the whole place I'd even call "attractive"
You need to go to the Hooters in Denver, it's much better.

Eh, I just gotta go with the accounts I hear. Personally, I'd rather hit Show Mes since the wings at most chain joints don't do much for me, and I like the buffalo shrimp they serve. And a buddy of mine is the bar manager. My tab is almost non-existent.
Edit: We're talking about different Springfield's. I'm in Illinois at ESLHS.
Even the wings blow. Watching the game and interaction with the staff are the only reasons to go. The food is a cover to make you look less like you are interested in the staff.
I like how taking someone home is such a blatantly lower standard than dating.
