Hooters is now a fucking breeder playground - seriously

DH and I ate dinner at Hooters. Usually it's a great place and while somewhat breederific at times, NOTHING is as bad as what we witnessed tonight. I went to the Hooters website and contacted them via their 'contact us' feature to to tell them what I thought of what I saw. Here's what I wrote, which explains what happened. I hope it's a good letter; I pretty much pounded it out as soon as I got home and sent it off:

"I love Hooters. My husband and I dine there about 4 times a month. Your food is wonderful and your servers are attentive and friendly.

However, we saw something today that we found very unsettling. There were three young boys with their family dining. The boys were 'playing' in the restaurant. And by playing I mean one had a jump rope, one had a scooter, and one had a 'ride-on' style bouncy ball. All three were scooting/bouncing/jumping very quickly through restaurant. It seemed the restaurant encouraged this; we saw the boys at one point rummaging through a large orange plastic bin that was filled with toys and placed by the hostess counter.
We found this to be not only very distasteful, but EXTREMELY dangerous as well. Dangerous to both the customers and the servers. THIS IS A LIABILITY ISSUE. The servers are carrying plates of hot food and can very easily be tripped by a child racing a scooter, skipping rope or bouncing on a ball wildly throughout the store. There are places for children to play - it's called a playground. Hooters is not a playground. While I understand that you may consider your restaurant a 'family-friendly' establishment, the line needs to be drawn at racing scooters, skipping rope and hopping around on a ball.
Incidentally, as my husband and I were leaving, one of the boys ran into my husband. Now, just think if it wasn't my husband, but maybe an unstable elderly or disabled person, or a server carrying plates of hot food. The outcome would not be pretty.
We plan on dining in your establishment in the future, but if we continue to see this type of behavior we will not be back."

Fucking breeders. As we were walking out the one little shit who scooted by us hit/sideswiped DH and I grumbled - in what I hope was a scary, mean, wicked voice - stay out of the way!

We probably should have demanded to see a manager, but we were so disgusted and wanted to get the fuck out of there before any serious problems happened.

That was a well-crafted letter and absolutely does not sound "anti-child".

"I have learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is easy and fun as hell"

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Sorry your dinner was ruined. The fucknuttery of breeders never fails. Hopefully, your letter will reach the right people, and they'll send you some comps for the bullshit.

Having never eaten at Hooters, I've gotta ask: is it considered a family-friendly restaurant now? Because I'm a little confused...

Damn like nigga change a goddamn pamper.

That is insane. I agree with SlumSlut that your letter sounds very good, and I like how you not only sound concerned for the brats, but for the restaurant's liability as well...there is absolutely no need to turn a restaurant into a playground.

toys do not belong in a restaurant period.

Good letter.

Well-written, to the point, no waffle and you did a good job of pointing out it's the BEHAVIOUR that was tolerated, not just the fact kids were there, that you are objecting to.

I guess so. I guess the hordes of jealous moos who don't like their husbands going to Hooters to ogle at perky tits since they no longer get to see those at home) decided to start bringing their kids to Hooters to ruin everybody's fun. Since Hooters is too popular to force them to close, they forced them to change into a "family-friendly" restaurant because obviously, the higher-ups can't really come out and say that "We sell wings, beer, and T&A here. This is not a place to bring your kids."

We honestly could make a list of places that fucked themselves over or are going to fuck themselves over by attempting to change their image to be "family-friendly." Las Vegas tried that shit a decade ago and now they're scrambling with this new "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," tagline because they fucked themselves in the ass with a red-hot fire poker by trying to become family-friendly. How fucking stupid that a place whose alternate name is "SIN City," would try to overhaul their image and say, "Hey! Bring the kiddies!"

Y'know, I've never been to a Hooters, but isn't one of the main attractions there the servers with huge jugs for patrons to oogle at? What part of this is 'family friendly', exactly? The moos probably think it's keeeyoot when their four year old pervs in the making flirt with the staff.

Of all the inappropriate places to take kids to this tops the list! I mean come on people theres a reason it's called hooters! Last time I checked all the waitresses wear scantily clad, tight little uniforms with their massive boobs practically popping out. In fact I bet you anything the women are hired based on the size of their breasts. How is that remotely family friendly? Whats next, kids at the strip club helping daddy put dollar bills into the pretty ladys g-string? babys first stiff drink at the bar? Things are changing, it used to be that there was a place for children and a place for adults and somehow over the years that line has blurred

We've been to a few Hooter's around here and even the casino in Vegas. They should really change their name to "Training Bras". I took DH there to be the cool wife and because they have really good fries. They were all so flat that he was more interested in the ball game on their tv's. I know that they have gotten slapped with their fair share of hiring discrimination suits, but damn.

I have a cousin who was a 'hooters girl' back in the 80's. She was warned not to gain a pound (and she was thin) and just how to serve food by leaning over in front of patrons. She was told that they must stand in a certain position to take orders too. Not sure if they do all this now. I haven't been in a Hooters since she was fired for... TURNING 30 !! BTW.. she is CF and now.. in her 50's she's still got a great figure. and looks much younger then she is..... but they were afraid that women over 30 were a 'bad image'
I wouldn't take a kid to a place that had rules like that for their waitresses. Doesn't sound fambly friendly to me.

fucking breeders.

I'm just surprised that Hooters has a kiddie prize bucket up front. I guess anything goes for family dining these days. Plus it helps keep the brats out of the good restaurants.

They don't have fried pickles or mozzarella sticks at micky dee's...not to mention no chicks with huge tits. If you go to mickey dee's or chuckie's, you get either a zit faced teenager with the brains of wet wood, a Mexican whose only english is "hamburger", "fuck" and "immigration! This is a raid!", or an overly slow senior, all of whom are backed by a manager with an ass the size of Ohio and an attitude that screams "I hate my fucking life".

paragon for the win!

Thanks guys; I'm glad you think my letter sounded decent. I didn't really give it much thought since I hurriedly typed it out as soon as I got home. I just really wanted to get my point across.

Yeah, the breeders moved in on Hooters now too and Hooters caved and catered to the assholes. I remember when it first opened in our area back in the early 90's it was considered a 'frat house' atmosphere. Certainly not a place you go with the famblee. Now it's no different than any other famblee restaurant. We go because we always get great service and awesome food.

Not at our local Hooters. The girls are friendly, but they don't 'lean over' in any special way. They are like any other waitress - they stand at the table and take the order. Some girls are really thin, yes, but then others have more meat on their bones in the sense that they look more, um, healthy?....I don't know. I mean they sport a 'muffin top' over their shorts. Not a real bad muffin top, but because the shorts are low-waisted anyone who isn't 95 pounds is going to sport some sort of muffin top in those shorts. Whoever decided that the low-waisted shit was attractive needs to be shot.

And I dont' even find it comfortable. I just got a pare of jeans that sits about an inch below my waist and they drive me nuts pulling them up all day.

I believe I have the answer to this question! Oh let the wisdom flow! Here it comes!

Breeders want their "pre-baby" lives, but post-baby status.

Breeders can't STAND to be tied down by their brats! This is why we see them in places like Hooters, Dave and Busters, the racetrack, the bar, the movie theater's R rated showings, pretty much everywhere where ADULTS should be and children shouldn't. They want their "adult time" but what they keep forgetting is that there IS NO "adult time" when baby wants to watch The Wiggles. Parenthood is just thankless indentured servitude, and I think it's time they stay in their habitat (*ahem* Chuck E. Cheese *ahem*).

exactly: they want the perks of parenthood but none of the responsibilities.

Yeah, how did this work out for Vegas a few years back?

Oh yeah, it didn't. Parents bitched about the costs of hotels, the adult shows, men handing out hooker baseball cards on the sidewalk and open containers, then eventually migrated back to Disney.

They should take a cue from the airlines...breeders don't pay the bills.

I am not surprised breeders who send their toddlers to pole dancing classes and deck them out in French maid costumes with fake boobs think their kids belong in Hooters, come to think of it. It might be to show them one of their potential career paths...
