I decided to check out a new restaurant in dartmouth, i was told i would have a hooting good time…
quite frankly.. i wont be back
It took 45 minutes to get a beer, two hours to get the wrong food order and another hour to get our correct food..
The ladies there were too busy jumping on the bar and dancing around to realize that the cook was yelling to them with peoples orders!!
terrible service.. the view was nice, although everyone looked quite fake!
It just opened so mabye the staff isnt trained properly or something… but it was terrible! Mabye in a few weeks or months when staff gets in the swing of things, it will be better!

Sounds like you got what you paid for: a bunch of boobs.
The foodies suggest waiting until a business has been in business for awhile before trying them out. I’m going to wait until they figure out which waitstaff they need to keep before landing. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I’d have been out of there after 2 hours…although I suppose after you’ve waited for that long, if you left it’d feel like a waste…
i find that really funny because i have a few friends who had applied that had really great waitressing experience who were definitely not ugly, but didnt have huge boobs. one girl in particular was a waitress for 3 years in sports bars and restaurants and said the interview was creepy and to quote her directly: “i felt greasy afterward”apparently one girl got her job because she showed the manager her ‘girls gone wild’ tape and he thought that was “a great way to show her personality”. uhhhh, making out with a chick or masturbating for joe francis is personality?? whew! boy have i been going about this all wrong!
Maybe your friends should apply for jobs at Smitty’s. Its a pancake house right across the street.
Well, it sure didn’t take long for the “apparently one girl got her job because she showed the manager her ‘girls gone wild’ tape” stories to appear. I haven’t dined there but I’m willing to bet that not all of the staff are sporting double-dees, and no, not counting the guys working there. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Hey “cranky”, why do you say “Pabst Blue Ribbon!” at the end of every comment you make? With respect to this bitch, hooters is terrible, so 70’s like and trashy most of the ladys there are cougers with bad looking boobs, double d’s are too big.
I don’t know how you could apply at a restaurant named after boobs and not expect to feel greasy and creeped out in the interview.
There are always learning curves in a business starting up. I’ll wait.And for cranky. Until I try a PBR…Keith’s Rules!
The “Pabst Blue Ribbon!” thing is a reference to a character in a David Lynch movie. I figure with a name like Cranky it kinda works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snhiofL2Rh4 BTW, I’ve never tasted the stuff, I’m a Guinness drinker. BTW, I think the 70s style is the new 50s style. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I’m gonna check it out this weekend. We wanna go see all the skanks and fakes of NS, so we’ll let you know how it goes:) KMA
Anony, you liar! read the savage love articles about fake letters, youll do better next timeLIAR!
lmao i agree with mortimer. you go to a fucking place that well tells us is a family restaurant, you know going in by the name what it stands for and then complain. jackass! i’m glad you wasted your money on degrading women. you just supported it!
I agree with Ginger. That’s right, I said it. I totally agree!! even. You chose to patronize a restaurant whose theme is the objectification of women. You paid to see women with large breasts in tight shirts. Did you see that? Yes? Then you got what you paid for. Now go stuff some five dollar bills in a stripper’s G-string.
Really? You mean Hooter’s has nothing to do with Owl’s????
I can tell this is going to cause a huge verbal riot and you can call me a liar or say anony and I are the same person all you like, but my girlfriend and I came across this and thought it was pretty funny and ironic…(havent been too confident of use of that word since the song!) She went in there for an interview and I waited outside in the car. When she came out, she was laughing. she said something eerily similar to anony’s acount. apparently (and i use apparently loosely, my girlfriend isn’t a liar or a drama queen) the interviewer asked her what was the wildest thing she’d ever done? when she told her story, i didnt even wanna know what it was, he told her that wasnt very wild and to think of a better example. when she asked him what he meant, thinking her answer should be “work-appropriate wild” he said Well, I had a girl who said she was on GGW when she was on Spring Break. He point blank told my girlfriend that he asked her for proof, and she just happened to have it with her. Afterward, when she got in the car she joked “we have to go home and get our sex tapes, I guess they’re a job qualification for Hooter’s” Again, take it with a grain of salt, but I thought I’d chuck in my two cents.
cheese that wouldnt suprise me at all. ive herd nothing good about that place as of yet!
haha, yeah, she went kind of as a laugh because she was having trouble finding a job, but I’m glad she didn’t get it after we saw some of the girls who work there and heard what people were saying. My girlfriend is hot and a fucken amazing waitress but shes doesn’t look faked-up in the slightest. So they had a choice: hire girls like my girlfriend who have the whole package, or hire girls who dance on tables who just happen to have big, saggy, pale, doughy tits. Well done Hooters, well done.At least I don’t have to listen to my girlfriend be referred to as a “washed-up hag of a baby-momma”
PALE DOUGHY TITS!!! Hahahahaha! That is JUST what I needed to get me through the day. Hahahaha!
I guess they can nail jello to someone’s chest after all.
Ok, so Gingy said:”lmao i agree with mortimer. you go to a fucking place that well tells us is a family restaurant, you know going in by the name what it stands for and then complain. jackass! i’m glad you wasted your money on degrading women. you just supported it!” and goes as far as insulting the OP.Then Miranda says:”That’s right, I said it. I totally agree!! even. You chose to patronize a restaurant whose theme is the objectification of women. You paid to see women with large breasts in tight shirts. Did you see that? Yes? Then you got what you paid for. Now go stuff some five dollar bills in a stripper’s G-string”You both have anything to say about the women that actually work there and created the place to begin with? What about strippers? Why would you sit there and patronize the poor guy, when clearly we have women that are willing to objectify themselve in that manner? Why would you judge him, before judging the women that work there and actually support that place more than anyone else does? If it wasn’t for the wait staff that’s willing to walk around half naked, that place wouldn’t exist now would it. Also if it wasn’t for women willing to dance around butt naked, there wouldn’t be any strip clubs!I didn’t end up going, so i can’t give a review on that place, but i can say one thing, he only gave a review about how the service there is. A new restaurant opened and they served food. Maybe he wasn’t looking a the women, maybe he was there to have a couple of beer and enjoy the food. Maybe he lives a 2 minute walk from it! I highly doubt that occured to either of you!
hahaha.. I also agree with Cheese.. I can soooo see something like that happening at a place like that. You have a moronic manager of an enstablishement like that, and we have lots of girls in this city that just can’t close their legs, put 2 and 2 together!
I was going to make a similar comment about this point too. These women apply for these jobs (stripping and working at hooters), they are the ones in control or lacking self-esteem however you want to see it. I think the situation only gets degrading when we are talking about the behavior of the men towards the women. I see no problem with a woman choosing to put herself ondisplay, knowing full well that she can cash in on her assests…to me that speaks of her being in control. The point of objectification is when the guys start behaving in a disrespectful manner (groping, saying inappropriate things). I can treat a server at hooters with the same respect as a server in another restaurant while still appreciating her skimpy attire. I don’t have to be a pig about it. Same with a strip club.
Is there anything in Halifax that can come here that you people can compliment on? Celine Dion is booked, and even though some people like her and might want to see her, apparently people in here dont care about others taste. Then you get a stripclub, and the people complain about the advertising on the outside and the hookers in the area, even though there was a bikini ad on the billboard at the corner while a woman on a gown was on the strip club and a hockey arena up the street that had the ECHL which marketed fighting and prided itself on that, however the strip club is what you people gave the boot.Now you have a spot that isnt really as conservative as this province appears to be. Again, like i have said in my bitch, here we go again with people being all righteous about who is what and what they should be.miranda gave this quote, “You chose to patronize a restaurant whose theme is the objectification of women. You paid to see women with large breasts in tight shirts” I went to Jack Astors and saw just as much skin. I saw just as much curves. Each chick at Jack Astors was just as hot as the hooters chicks. I went to Boston Pizza, same thing, i failed to see any nudity, i saw chicks with some of the biggest guns ever there serving me. Somehow, this is different because they didnt put on a shirt that was a play on another term for breasts? How in the hell is this so objectifying women? Well, lets see, women have boobs, and since some of the chicks working there didnt have bigger than an A cup, apparently it isnt objectifying just the big titted women. So breast size isnt what they are making such a fuss over. How about the shorts they wore? Well, they would be great and i could see all the vag i wanted, but they wear these brown tights, so i saw nothing. So it wasnt ass they were putting on display. So what is so objectifying about these waitresses? Not much Miranda.By the way, your comment about large chests, shows you havent been to a hooters in your life. EVERY hooters has some small chested women so they are not discriminating. Sorry Miranda, just had to call ya on this one.Oh, one thing for people that have something to say about the outfit these chicks wear, what is any different with what they wear at hooters, and what pretty much any waitress in the 60’s wore at them Drive up restaraunts? The ones with the rollerskating waitresses?Its funny, its okay for all these famous actresses Halle Berry in swordfish, Selma Hayek in every movie she is in, Jamie Lee Curtis in True lies, Nicole Kidman in Eyes wide shut, they can be scantily clad/ nude, but since they are acting and it is a movie, they are not hounded, or insulted or considered lacking in self respect. Strange considering they are showing more ass than any Hooters employee is. Nudity is nudity. If you are going to say that how they dress and what they do is whether or not you are saying they are degrading themselves, then the aforementioned actress should really hate themselves huh?By the way, do not waste my time and say, “you cant compare actresses to hooters waiteresses”. And i will reply that i am not comparing them as a whole. I am only comparing the judgement in the criteria in what makes one job degrading and not another. Hypocrisy in life in amazing.
If Hooters makes you feel greasy and creeped out…then how does porn make you feel? I feel sorry for the people who can’t go out and enjoy themselves, have fun, loosen up! Not all of these women are whores, while some may be, there are whores everywhere…not just in strip clubs and Hooters. I suggest, you stuck up bitches go out to strip club some night with your guy friends or your man, trust me, you don’t know what you’re missing…and you may even meet a girl who makes money off her looks/body and is also intelligent and has plenty of self respect!
