Random annoyance of the day


I wasn't too shocked to find that Hooters restaurant has a statement in their handbook that employees are required to sign stating that -- while harassment isn’t tolerated -- they acknowledge that the concept of Hooters is based on female sex appeal, and that the environment is one where “joking and innuendo based on female sex appeal is commonplace.”

So they don’t dig harassment, but you can’t complain if you’re harassed.

Via The Smoking Gun.

But I thought they were a family restaurant, no? Isn't that what all their signs say? And surely a family restaurant cannot possibly be based on female sex appeal, correct? Because that would be creepy, right?

Stupid Hooters.
