Now I'm moved to Raleigh, N.C. and have been here for 5 years. Unfortunately, perhaps because its a college town, the vast majority of the ladies here treat their regulars with suspicion unless they're obviously mentally challenged or a lovable, always drunken elderly man. It's a bit insulting. Times certainly have changed.Aaron aka Prezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068732717415359091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183883364055944274.post-61522252889295358312011-08-31T18:06:49.236-06:002011-08-31T18:06:49.236-06:00Apparently we have regulars at my place too.

I just really don't like people enough to remember them. <br /><br />-sigh-<br /><br />My job makes me a pretty good actress but I think that its not just cos I'm the size of a Mastadon (small really the largest size? wtf?!) that would stop me working at Hooters!maxihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520458743638573272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183883364055944274.post-26062812894906207232011-07-06T10:52:41.925-06:002011-07-06T10:52:41.925-06:00That's awesome.

One guy once fished the keys out of my car with a coat hanger (thank god the window was down slightly) in exchange for a gin and tonic. haha. He's great.<br /><br />Also, Rockstar Lemonade is good, but have you tried the new Orange flavored one? It's the "Rockstar Recovery" just like the lemonade but it's soooo good. Tastes just like Orange hi-c!Redsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183883364055944274.post-29832939525980985642011-07-05T22:59:44.225-06:002011-07-05T22:59:44.225-06:00What a wonderful story.

I speak from experience. I've made some damned good friends--I mean people who have gone through the fire with me--when I was a regular at a place like that.

But I have now visited all 3 UK branches. <br /><br />Hopefully a very generous tip cheered up the Bristol Hooters Girl on Sunday when everything was going to pot for her - her boss screeching at her as she walked in, the beer going flat (something wrong with the gas?) and there only being 3 girls on an extremely busy night. Plus my b/f spilling his beer on the floor - it was an accident and we practically flung oursleves at the floor to try and mop the worst of it up so she wasn't stuck with it. She latched onto us for conversation, sitting down for a few minutes exhausted but still kept up the fabulous Hooters Girl attitude, getting us free replacement beer and rounded up the others for a photo. <br /><br />Hope the nice tip made her evening a little better! Her face just lit up. :)<br /><br />Shame it's too far for me and b/f to be regulars - but we're dedicated! We'll travel!Cafe Maidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834533506672869375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183883364055944274.post-19731845888719212722011-07-05T15:36:01.902-06:002011-07-05T15:36:01.902-06:00That's so awesome, it's good to know there...That's so awesome, it's good to know there are still really genuine awesome people out there that will help others just because.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809216588937666034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183883364055944274.post-78602175695458853182011-07-05T13:25:26.637-06:002011-07-05T13:25:26.637-06:00Hooters regulars are certainly a different breed. ...Hooters regulars are certainly a different breed. I had some at the location I managed that were creepy as hell, but most were really kick ass guys. It wasn't so much that they were there for the orange shorts as a place where the server would sit down and talk to them. We made a bigger deal over our regulars than any other restaurant I have ever worked at. They even had seat cushions with their names on them. I was just the manager (and a guy at that), but they helped me pick up furniture and a number of other things that you wouldn't expect. If something broke at my restaurant, there was always a regular who would fix it for a plate of wings. If someone needed to be asked to leave, there was always a handful of regulars keeping an eye on me.<br /><br />My favorite regular story was a couple who came in M-F like clockwork. He would come by at 5:10 on the dot. His wife ran a daycare center out of their house and it allowed him to relax after work. She would come in once all the kids had been picked up. They were like the entire staff's mom and dad. With Thanksgiving approaching the husband asked what I would charge him to fry up his turkey. I told him I wouldn't think of taking his money for it. (No one from corporate reads this right?) Thanksgiving morning he came in with not one, but two trurkey. His wife came in a little later with two big bags. The second turkey was for us and she brought a big helping of all of the dishes she had prepared for their meal. When the staff got there, we had an entire thanksgiving dinner at our jumpstart. A few other regulars who didn't have family to celebrate with came in for lunch and we fed them too. It didn't feel like working on a holiday, but spending it with our second family.<br /><br />That is the thing that people who have never worked at Hooters will never understand. It isn't about orange shorts or tank tops. It is about hospitality and treating people like family. No company in the industry does this better or with more sincerity. That is why people become Hooters regulars and that is why they are the best regulars in the industry.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682849750698802450noreply@blogger.com
