it’s so weird, too, because Hooters was originally founded to make use of a closed down strip club, and they just leaned on that as a gimmick. they hired all the sex workers who had worked at that strip club. but they did all as a joke.
like there’s a universe where hooters was founded by a locally owned employee driven co-op to keep the people who depended on that strip club solvent, and did their whole “it’s a family joint” as a schtick to maintain their employees’ dignities. instead we got buffalo wild wings that degrades their employees’ dignities even further than buffalo wild wings by objectifying them entirely and fetishizing the product they sell.
i was thinking that. like an adam sandler movie but where the writer is actually conscious of that teh objectification of women is wrong and also that sex workers will still need work once sex work no longer is viable, and that they possess skills that make them effective in other jobs

That second part sounds like the plot of an early 2000s raunchy comedy.
