NYC Wants Death Penalty In Terror Trials, Germany Doesn't
Hooters has added insult to injury. If it isn’t painful enough to wear those tight, little, crotch-riding orange shorts, waitresses at the restaurant chain also have to dip into their paychecks to pay for the uniforms - which is illegal.
Two waitresses filed suit against Hooters of Long Island on Thursday in Brooklyn Federal Court charging the company never repaid them the money they laid out for the uniform, reports the Daily News. According to state law, employers are supposed to have work uniforms in stock and ready to go, if they’re not everyday street clothes.
The Copiague, Long Island and Bayside waitresses, who also have to share their tips with kitchen staff, spent $5.45 for orange hot pants, $6 for the tight-fitting Lycra tank top, $3.25 for a pouch, $2.50 for suntan pantyhose and $2.25 for thick white socks.
"I don't think that could confuse the Hooters uniform clothes as part of someone's ordinary wardrobe," said the women's lawyer, Louis Pechman. Obviously Pechman has not been to some of the finer parts of New York.

You'd think after splurging 5k for fake tits that they can spare a few bucks for hot pants & a tank top.
Don't confuse the Hooters calendar girls with the girls you're likely to see in the restaurant. Most of them have limited natural assets, and few have launched any capital reconstruction projects.
They can spare the change, but they shouldn't have to.
To be honest, since there are laws concerning nudity in public, I've always thought that the government should either pay for our clothes or make it so that they are never taxed.
seems like an open-and-shut case. i wonder what the hooter honeys will do with their $19.45 windfall.
They could save a few bucks and probably make a lot more tips too if they'd finally ditch those industrial strength grandma-style stockings.
Seriously, those stockings are hideous.
Those stockings have actually kept me away from that dump. Who wants to see a decent pair of legs in sausage casings?
totally agree. but methinks it could be management's defense against ladies who neglect to shave their stems on a regular basis. no one likes being served deep-fried goodies by a hirsute in daisy dukes.
Agreed - I think it's also about management's defense against pale skin and cellulite. Those super-strength hose make all legs look tan and toned and keep the cheeks from drooping out of the little shorts.
I thought sharing tips w/ kitchen staff was illegal.
