Undercover at Hooters


I recently started watching this show called Undercover Boss, and last week the head honcho of Hooters, Coby Brooks, went undercover in some of the Dallas Hooters stores.

I have never been opposed to Hooters. I don't love the food, but the wings are decent and I do fancy the curly fries. And, well, the Hooters girls are Hooters girls. The orange hot pants, tight white shirts...i'd say your average guy wouldn't mind getting served a beer by a girl dressed like that. Would I have picked that path for myself? Probably not. But, I wouldn't put them in the same category as strippers. I know that many people think the chain exploits women. What do you think?

On another note, Entertainment Weekly said it best, when describing a bean eating contest orchestrated by a Hooters' manager named Jimbo. Basically, he made his employees eat plates of beans without using their hands to get off their shifts early. Now that's degrading!! check out the story here.
