Hooters

[BuFfY]

I heard on the radio this arvo that Hooters (the American resturant) is coming to NZ.
Does any one know anything about this?
They said it will be in Queenstown by September and Auckland by October.

If this is true, would you go?

[Disco Dan]

Will you work there? :shutup:

I think we should have a picture, you know.. to make sure your "eligable" to work there ;)

[Colapop]

Of course I'm going to say it....


If you're a waitress there - but we need photographic evidence that you are capable of carrying jugs... :innocent:

[MisterD]

Given the ability of NZ to take American ideas and painstakingly remove all the benefits whilst retaining the drawbacks, probably not.

McD's in the US = hot, quick, tasty junk.
McD's in NZ = lukewarm, slow, soggy cardboard with red sauce on, but it'll still give you a heart attack...

I hate to try to extrapolate that to Hooters.

Our labour laws will result in some flat chested feminist taking a personal grievance against the company because they didn't hire her as a waitress and the yanks will realise they messed with the wrong damn dyke. Helen that is, not the flat chested feminist. Unless it's her. Damn.

[Macktheknife]

HOOTER ALERT! HOOTER ALERT!!!
Yeah baby, bring it on, show me the hooters!




Nah not me, I wouldn't go there.

oh so true!!!!! Fantastic! BLING awarded!

[Ixion]

Rememeber, in NZ it is illegal for an employer to discriminate on the grounds of either age, or sex. So, how much are they paying and where do I sign up ? I don't mind working topless.

Hmm, i don't see people lining up to see Ixion's man breasts.

[Jonny Rotten]

[Waylander]

I feel a new KB rally in the making....:innocent:

[Motu]

Waka Blonde - report to Hooters imediatly!

[bugjuice]

yeah, heard about it a while ago (think it was posted here too). Already applied for managerial positions, and other positions that may help the girls, but I don't get anything back but stupid injunction orders.. pfft..

[Guitana]

All I can say is it's about time!!!! Good luck getting permission from my missus though,being the pussy whipped S.O.B that I am!!!!!!
No doubt the greenies and their feral protesting squad will have something to say about it though!! Protesting that it's degrading to women when the whole time they really just wished they had a great body and a killer rack like the hooters girls!!! The Green eyed monster rearing it's ugly head!!!!

[Drum]

I like boobies. I like food.

But only 1 at a time please.

Now boobies and booze. They go well together.

Good thing they sell Booze.

Booies and Booze. Food and Booze. Surely all three together is a good thing?

Arghh damn you! That resulted in a sudden image of Helen as a Hooters chick. I'm going to find a fork to stick in my mind's eye so I never get that image again.

[Donor]

HOORAY FOR BOOBIES! (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/3999285a4560.html)

(No, it's not a photoshopped pic of Helen in a Hooters shirt- I doubt anyone could be sick enough to do that... well, maybe Dover... Finn... Disco Dan... Ixion always has me a little worried... okay, so a few people... but not too many...)

[Drum]

Actually she is. That's all for the wee'un though.

[Karma]

Obviously none of you have ever been to a hooters... it's crap.

The food is bollocks, the prices are bollocks, and the chicks are all stuck up from having guys perv at them all the time.

Save yourself some cash and go to a strip joint instead, much cheaper, and I'd bet the food's better too...

[0arbreaka]

I feel a new meeting place for a kb meet coming up...

[Jantar]

As I live fairly close to Queenstown I may make an ocassional visit, but only on weekdays and weekends.

Twenty Bucks to see Ixion's "HARD WARE" I mean we do have to see if you are suitable.

Come on Post em, Post em, I wannna see titties.

Faaarkinoath!!

Went there in last time in the 'staes with CB, she found nothing distasteful about it, the girls all looked way-flash, were pleasant and signed out menu.

The armed dudes with waist-mounted 'pistolas' that arrived after dark had me thinking 'Hmmm" but no problems occured.

Oh, and that was at West Covina, L.A.

And very nice meal too.:yes:

Must have been a different Hooters to the ones I have been to.

Those ones have been not too bad at all, flash tucker, good prices and the girls were almost embarrassing with their friendliness and willinglness to 'chat'.:yes:

And they looked pretty damn good:love: . even CB thought they were 'nice'.

(and I am a conesewr of strip-joints.)

With no Hooters in NZ how do you make the comparison???

Erm, that's what extrapolate means SD. Although, I have been to the Hooters establishment in Birmingham....:no:

[Hitcher]

Why does New Zealand feel compelled to provide exactly the same entertainment for tourists as they can get at home? And don't tourists come here to experience something different? What kind of person would fork out loads of dosh and spend more than 12 hours in cattle class to spend time in Starbucks, Hooters, McDonald's or Shitty O'Kea's?

I hear your cry Hitcher and I feel your exasperation.......................but they've got boobies!!!!

[Hitcher]

but they've got boobies!!!!

Unless I'm missing something, I seem to recall that most women have "boobies". I suspect the alure of Hooters isn't "boobies" per se but the "packaging" thereof. It's disappointing when an allegedly advanced civilisation resorts to vicarious titillation to sell beer.

There's the thing, allegedly.

Hooters target audience, young guys who want to watch some cleavage while they eat... personally I think you could just stay home with a bacon sandwich and watch Desparate Housewives for the same effect, but thems the breaks.

Who says it's for the tourists? I thought it was more for lonely, desperate, single guys . . . or the married ones that either aren't "gettin' any" at home, or just don't like what it is that they are getting.

[MSTRS]

.... vicarious titillation....

Topless woman vicars? That'd raise the attendance rate on Sundays...

Hitcher! I am shocked at your distinct lack of insight on this subject, this is NZ, we don't need to resort to vicarious titillation to sell beer. We can sell beer in the shittiest grungiest public bars in the world and make a good profit doing it! No, this effort goes to a much more noble desire than merely selling beer.
This effort goes to supporting the anti-PC movement, men by the thousands will show their support for the movement by drinking beer and gawking at boobies night after night.
It is a powerful statement against the emasculation of man by the feminazi movement, we shall reclaim the right to stare at boobies whenever we choose, and to be proud of being a real man. We shall not bow our heads in shame for having noticed the redhead over there with the incredible rack, and an arse that could crack walnuts. No we shall stand tall and be the lecherous bastards we were always destined to be.

I will begin accepting donations for launching this movement immediately, it will be a national campaign so please give generously and support your fellow men who give of their time and effort to make our agenda known throughout the nation and in every titty bar we can find.

[Trudes]

Yeah I'd go if the food's ok and nobody dips their boobies in my Jack!

[imdying]

Pffft Hooters... my wife has a lovely pair, so no gain for me there.

She doesn't pole dance though.... so here's the franchise I wanna see: http://www.spearmintrhino.com/

That's not all that'd go up... imagine the effects it'd have on the youth groups...

Sometimes people just miss things from home. Even when only on vacation.

I'm still waiting on a decent Mexican restaurant.

I never knew you were mexican...

Have you tried the one in Auckland central
Mexican Cafe
http://www.wr2eat.co.nz/restaurants/restaurant_73.asp?cb_id=73
and Pancho's in Hamilton is supposed to be ok, but I haven't been there.
I believe there is another one in Auckland but can't seem to find it yet.

[Waylander]

Have a look at a map of north america mate how close is Texas to MExico? Hell, we've even blended our cultures a little and have Tex-Mex wich is different from Mexican food. (it's heaps spicier)

Pancho's was gross and nothing like real Mexican food. Will have to try the other one next time I'm up that way though.

Keep twiddling yer thumbs Waylander, the closest one I know of is in San Diego....

Yeah Mexican Cafe is awesome. Pyro and I went ages ago and really enjoyed it

I hate to say it - I believe that Hooters is not on the agends for NZ at this point in time.

Its not listed on their international list - nor has it been listed on their 'Franchise available' site - apparently NZ is not a priority country for them at this point in time.

Pity - they are actually quite good fun family restaurants - have taken my wife and kids there several times and we all enjoyed it.

To get a franchise you must have at least 100,000-150,000 people within a five mile radius (source Hooters.com) . Given that Queenstown has a population of about 10,000 and only 30,000 in season there is no chance of one opening down there - unless its like the "la hooters" - a piss poor copy that started in Takapuna years ago (and failed almost overnight).

Sorry guys (and Gals) :crybaby:

[Waihou Thumper]

I recall that they were infact taken to court.
A Male applied for the position there and was turned down.....
Even if it was a large male with Man Boobs....lol
I can't remember the outcome but I think it was settled out of court, but created a stir..
Good ole USA...
