Dumb and Dumber

I'm back! Sorry for neglecting you all for so long. I'm still sick but if I'm not sleeping I'm just sitting in bed and that gives me time to do this!

All Hooters restaurants, at least to my knowledge, have regulars. Some are nice, some quiet, some sleazy and some rude. For the most part, we love our regulars. Dumb and Dumber, however, are somewhere in between sleazy and nice and this makes it difficult to decide how I feel about them.

They started coming in not too long after I started and often are there 2 or even 3 times each day. They know all of the girls by name and we all know them. They bring us treats like ice cream, candy, chips and lots of other stuff and we're very appreciative of that. We always say hi and go chat with them when they come in, even if they aren't in our section.

When they're sober, they're really friendly and not at all creepy. They can be a little too chatty at times, though. It's impossible to walk past their table without them stopping you and asking you millions of questions about your day and making small talk like it's their job. If I don't have very many tables, I don't mind sitting with them for a while but when I'm in the weeds and I've got drinks and food to run, the last thing I want to do is talk for 10 minutes about what I ate for lunch that day. It can be frustrating to say the least.

When they drink it's even worse. Asking what I had for lunch turns into asking what I wore to bed the night before and what my favorite position (in bed) is. Obviously, I don't really like answering those questions and I usually just laugh them off and pretend I have something to do. Most of the girls avoid them altogether when they start drinking.

Unfortunately, this won't be possible for them in a couple weeks. Because GM F invited Dumb and Dumber to our STAFF Christmas party. Yup, they're coming to the place with an open bar, dance floor, and all the Hooters Girls all in one place at one time. I have no doubt in my mind that they will be taking full advantage of the first of those. Which makes me fear for the second and third.

The girls at work are all pretty unimpressed with GM F since he didn't run it by anyone before he invited them. Some of the girls don't even want to come to the party anymore because of it.

I think that he probably should have asked us if we were okay with them coming before he went ahead and asked them. What do you think?

  1. Hooters Groupies. Yikes.

    Anytime a customer starts being inappropriate and asking uncomfortable questions, I just ignore them. They eventually get the hint. It's that I ignore them than to tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't sun.

    If my boss invited customers that drove me nuts and made me feel uncomfortable, I would not only not go to the party, but I would let my boss know why.

  2. Wow! GM F should have def asked you girls how you all felt about it before extending the invite to them! I agree with Cielo Gold...definitely speak up and let your boss know that you, along with many of the girls, have an issue with Dumb and Dumber's presence at the party and why.

  4. I think that the manager should have called a meeting with you and all the other Hooters Girls to ask if it would be alright if he could invite those two customers to the Christmas party. That way, a consensus could be reached among all the waitresses on whether those guys could come or not.

    I feel so bad that you and your coworkers have to deal with those guys when they're drunk. It must be a nightmare to have to serve their table when they are drinking. Anyway, I sincerely hope that everything works out for you and your fellow Hooters Girls. Have a Merry Christmas!

    BTW, this is Zach. I finally created my own blogger profile and will be posting comments under this ID from now on. I wanted to give you a heads-up so that you'd know.
