Which is better working at Hooters or an Expensive restaurant?

Question

i want a job and i hear the tips are good a hooters but i don't know if i like the stigma of working there and knowing that guys rude behavior comes with the job.

Hooters=100-300 tips

Restaurant=$86 dollars a plate

Answer 1

As per your comment...working at an expensive restaurant with some degree of class affords you more than a job at Hooters...on a number of different levels:

1) Maltreatment by customers

2) The way this will 'look' on your resume some day.

3) The loss of selk-dignity and self-respect in lieu of tips

4) The way this will 'look' to family, friends, and a potential husband. (Yes...some men might like to be able to say their wife was a Hooters waitress....but not one who will respect you.)

Answer 2

Well, I'm a chunky guy with man-b***s. I thought about making my own restaurant and calling it "Dude-ers", but I don't think it would go very well.

Still, Hooters is my vote.

Answer 3

If you're good at either one, you'll make a lot of money at both.  Just kind of depends on what kind of atmosphere you're looking to work in and what you want to do fun.  Because to me, enjoying your job is more important than money.

Answer 4

If your hot, then work at hooters. You will get a lot of guys by just working there. It's also a fun environment even though you may be annoyed a few times by the rude behavior.

Answer 5

If you have a s**y body than work at Hooters and flirt with drunken guys that will tip like 50% or more to show off his boys, if not than an expensive restuarant. My female friend that works at Hooters makes like $250-$300 a day.

Answer 6

I'd say if you don't mind being visually raped on a constant basis roll the Hooters route for a little while or till you get tired of it then move over to a nice restaurant after.  

Like you mentioned, many people have formed their own opinions about Hooters servers, though most of those same people look down on servers in general so who really cares.  Also, if you can make good money by capitalizing off drunken idiots, I don't see why you shouldn't.  Just be careful since drunken horny testosterone filled dudes generally make for uncomfortable situations that may involve the cops at times.   Personally, I don't care for the Hooters environment, it's so fake it's like being served by a soap opera.

Answer 7

All work for corporate entities for whom you are not a voting shareholder is wage slavery so don't delude yourself w/ guilt if you have a daisy duke body and would look sassy shooting T-shirts at a Nascar crowd between heats and features.

And all men are dogs.  Some are Christ believing churched folks and others are rabid wannabe Alphas.  The highend clientele often treats servers just as atrociously as the drunked up louse @ Hooters but they won't show it to your face, much more dangerous to one's longterm sanity.   So advice, learn some selfdefense techniques if the BARkeep is not a 6'4" mixed martial artist, always tipout your bussers as they are worth and don't get uppity with the dishdogs.    Good luck in all you aspire too.
