What It's Like To Work At Hooters

Naturally, when people think of Hooters, they either think of wings or breasts, and not chicken breasts. Despite some common misconceptions Hooters is an interesting place to work, there is never a dull moment. From the words of a current Hooters girl at the Southside Jacksonville location, I am going to debunk all of the rumors that surround what people think it is like to be a Hooters girl.

1. Hooters pays for boob jobs.

First and foremost, Hooters does not pay for your breast enhancement surgery. That is one of the questions I'm asked the most. If you think about it logically, it would be terribly expensive for Hooters to pay for almost every single girl who is employed around the country to get breast enhancements. Some already have had surgeries done, and others may not want the surgery, but even so there would still be a number of women who would take advantage of that opportunity if it were actually given. However, there are certain plastic surgeons that will give discounts to girls that are employed at Hooters and seek out the surgery.

2. The Wall Test

Another question I am bombarded with is if during the hiring process, Hooters makes girls take the "wall test." This is where girls are asked to see which will touch the wall first, their boobs or their nose. No, this is absolutely not true, at least not for my store. It's just preposterous and not realistic at all in my opinion.

3. Docreepy old men come in?

Yet another popular question people have is if I am hit on by "creepy, old men." No, not really. I feel like this depends on the location but there are regulars that come in and they are all nice and just want company. They have never crossed boundaries and if any customers were to ever act inappropriately then they would be kicked out. The managers at my store always make sure that we are safe and well taken care of.

4. Hooters gives tuition reimbursement.

Something you most likely did not know and may be surprising is Hooters gives tuition reimbursement for girls that work part time and go to school. The amount of money that is given is based on the amount of hours a girl works and the grades they earn. It can be a hefty sum that is received and can help out with some shopping habits.

5. Hooters only hires girls with certain cup sizes.

Like the wall test, this is also a silly question that is asked. While it would make sense for the girls of Hooters to have a certain cup size but there is no regulation that requires girls to have a certain cup size. This is false and it's not all about boobs, personality matters too right?

6. Hooters is a fantastic place to work.

Some people question why I work at Hooters. Well, I applied because it was a dare and ended up loving the job. My coworkers are all fun to work with, I get to work around sports games all day and night (I love sports so that's a plus for me), the days I request off are given to me, and I make pretty decent money for a college student. It is great for now, but of course there will be a life and career after Hooters.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
