Overheard Conversation

While looking for a book on the shelves this afternoon, I happened to pick up on this chat between two (female) teenagers in the library.

"My friend told me you only have to be sixteen to work at Hooters...I'd like to work there, but I don't think my mom would like it."

This is NOT TRUE. According to Hooters.com:
You must be at least 17 years old for hourly employment opportunities with Hooters of America, Inc. and at least 18 or 21 for the Hooters Girl position depending on local alcohol service laws.
Also noted on the website:
There is no set requirement in order to be a nearly World Famous Hooters Girl! We look for the All-American Cheerleader / Surfer-Girl-Next-Door image to fill our restaurants. In other words...Very bubbly, outgoing personalities!

So there are no requirements except that you look like a cheerleader or surfer girl. I would think that hula-hooping ability might affect your prospects, though. And there are plenty of suggestions for Hooter girls such as:

-Never come to work with wet hair!
-Don't forget to wear blush! Doing so will leave you looking lifeless!
-Drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit and vegetables [pertaining to skin care].
-Always make sure to resist makeup trends that make you appear gaudy. Hooters girls have an appropriate image to maintain.
-Engage in an exercise routine at least three times a week to increase your metabolism, overall health, and on-the-job stamina [to stop you from getting fat].

What surprised me the most is that there are female employees that don't wear the white tanktops and tight orange shorts (above).
