Hooters. I think I'll pass.

Ah, the chocolate holiday has passed. I can quit obsessing about chocolates.

I've been watching Undercover Boss. Last week they had the CEO of Waste Management and this week it was the head of Hooters. I was very interested in catching this weeks episode. I was going to be open minded and see if it changes my overall impression of the company. Nope! No matter how nice the head of the company seemed or how nice the employees were, or how great their wings are, I just can not see why I should eat there. I admit I have never been inside a Hooters. I am completely turned off by the concept. The owner would like to try to improve its public persona by being more open about all the charitable programs they support. Great. I think that is fantastic, but so do Hef's playboy bunnies. Would I want my daughter to pose for playboy? No way! Would I want her in a Hooter's Girl uniform? I don't think so. I wouldn't want my son to work for either of these companies. Their businesses are built on the concept of exploiting a woman's body. Hey, but sex sells right? Just watch a few commercials or read a few magazines to see the evidence of that. It may work but is it right?
