Florida Mom Upset after Hooters Waitress Presents at Son's School for Career Day



Fox News - A Florida mother complained to her son's school after a Hooters waitress was invited to speak to the students there about her job, The St. Petersburg Times reported Saturday. Brittany Morgan, 23, addressed students Thursday at the Calvin A. Hunsinger School for students with emotional and behavioral disabilities in Clearwater, Fla. She reportedly wore a sweater and sweatpants rather than her Hooters uniform, and discussed tipping, looking presentable at work and Hooters' charity work. Ashley Dominicci, whose son is in sixth grade at the school, said the presentation sent "the wrong message" to kids. "I feel like we're telling [the students] that you're the bad kids, and this is all you'll be in life," she explained. Bessette said in an email response to Dominicci that some women work as waitresses to pay for college, and teachers often work service jobs to supplement their incomes. "Working as a waiter or waitress in order to achieve higher goals should be commended," she wrote. Morgan was invited to the school as part of The Great American Teach-In, an annual event during which adults talk to students about their careers and hobbies.

Can you believe this women? All outraged over the school having a Hooters waitress speak at career day? The nerve. Come on lady, lets be serious for a second. Sure I could see being upset if you were one of those mom's with the "my student was an honor roll student" bumper stickers, then you'd expect a normal career day, with Dentists, Accountants, maybe a civil engineer...But that's not the case here. Your son is in one of those behavioral classes (aka the kids who get into trouble, light shit on fire, and shit like that), the odds are overwhelming that he's going to end up a line cook at Hooters and his girlfriend will be the head hostess. I'd say working at Hooters would be a pretty good step up in life, compared to say, car jacker, or juvenile detention center inmate number 25408.

And honestly, that's not that bad. I'd wager to say that Hooters waitresses probably get better tips than a normal waitress...Think about it, who am I going to tip more? The regular girl, in a regular waitresses outfit, giving me mediocre-to-bad service at TGIF's, or the hott, emotionally unstable girl, in a hooters outfit, giving me mediocre-to bad service at Hooters?  Yea, the Hooters girl is getting a bigger tip. 

Parents all in all need to take a step back and really think about how they're evaluating their kids...they're not all going to be winners, ya know? The world needs skanky waitresses, adult actresses, and teachers/porn webmasters too.


PS: That line about girls working their way through college at Hooters? Come on, we're smarter than that. College costs a fortune these days, even real life strippers these days can't afford 4 year universities, they're all working their way through junior colleges. So if you expect me to believe that a skimpy tank top and some spandex are paying for anything more than beauty school, well jokes on you.
