Question

How can I politely reject a customer's request to date if I am already in a relationship?

Community Answer

Be honest. Tell them that you aren't interested because you are in a committed relationship. If they don't take no for an answer, alert your manager or the owner of the business. You may also want to download one of the Safe Trek apps to make sure you stay safe once you leave your place of business.

Question

I have dark purple hair, is that okay for being a Hooters girl?

Community Answer

Due to the image Hooters wants its girls to have (all-American, cheerleader types), they probably won't be looking for girls with artificial hair colors. You can still apply for a job, and see what happens. If you're serious about working at Hooters, you could consider changing your hair color to something more natural, but if you're happy with your hair color, you should just look for a job at a different establishment.

Question

I weigh 140 lbs, would that be a problem?

Community Answer

Weight is just a number, but so is height. Hooters does not discriminate based on weight. Your local hiring manager will review your height to weight ratio during the interview process, during which you will try on the required uniform. Additionally, dietary and exercise regimes will be suggested.

Question

What if I'm 49 but still meet all criteria? Is that too old?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, most Hooter's girls are anywhere from 18 to 30. You can always apply for the job, but seeing as most Hooter's girls aren't over 25, don't be surprised if you aren't hired, no matter if you fit the criteria.

I'm a very curvy Latina, and probably won't fit into a small tank top or shorts. Would that decrease my chances of getting hired at Hooters?
