Hooters... oh yes!

[Corky]

My wife and son and i always go "just" for the wings! The place is really only meant for wings and beer and watching football (or girls and ferrarais!). On the last occasion what looked like a 16 yr old girl (she obviously must be 21 to work there) "proofed" me at 47! I could n't believe it and thought it was a wind up by my son and brother in law who had already arrived having been at the cinema. She refused to give me a beer until I produced a driving licence or passport> On complaining to the Manager it seems she was a Hooters newbie who had just finished her two week training programme ( what can they spend two weeks learning?) and apparently one of their instructions to newies is to proof everyone. Even if you have middle age spread and a receding hairline-sounds like the EC!

Ray travels alot to the US and in some of the states they have a ruling the everyone has to show ID to purchase alcohol, in bars, restaurants and off licences, he finds it quite amusing and flattering.[msnsmile2]

You have to look over 36 to not get asked...but some places ask everyone.....

I had to go back to show my son where I got his boxers.
We asked our waitress for a picture with him and his friends. She called all the waitress's over for a group shot. He now has a favourite restuarant in Florida but he said "the food is rubbish"!!!!

Now you have my son really drooling![msnwink][msnsmile2]

We took Jack (8) in there when we were out at Christmas. He decided it was his fave place to eat and now we have to go on every visit, his Mum constantly asks 'did you put him up to this?'

At the end of the day it's just for a laugh, food ok, wings are the best and service good.

If Jude asks, I'm just off to Walmart. OK?

I wouldn't ask for any more than a drink of water and a lettuce leaf if I ate in there. [msnsad]

I'd never look at a dessert again[msnsad]

Oh and Alan, as a female I would just have to tell Jude.[msnwink]
