Tom,

Yes, it’s about personality. Always.

The nice thing about the Hooters that was in my area is that the waitresses were very personable. If things were slow they’d sit down and chat with you. I don’t know if that is a normal thing for all Hooters but I haven’t seen it anyplace else. On the days when I was having a late lunch alone it made lunch much more fun and I admit it, I tipped the waitress more those days. The quality of service and how fun the waitress is always affects the tips I leave.

Nicki,

I really don’t know. One thing I’ve learned in strip clubs is that it honestly doesn’t matter what you look like — making money in the service industry depends on your skills and how you work your customers. You can’t “work” them quite as much in restaurants but your people skills are still important to making tips. If you have good people skills, you’ll make money no matter where you are.

Some of it does depend on the clientele. A restaurant that brings in higher-earning people is good, as well as a place where people are used to tipping well. Or a place that isn’t economically-depressed!

SO. . . do you think Hooters girls make more at Hooters than at other restaurants such as Logans, Ocharleys or something like that? Please and thank you

Izzy67,

I haven’t been in the West End Hooters but I know it’s big and busy! I bet the boys love it too.

Laughing that you like the panythose-covered legs. It’s SUCH a horrible fashion statement (shiny pantyhose under shorts and tennis socks/shoes) but hey…it obviously works for the clientele.
