Sometimes things just strike me as funny. This is one of those times.

I got a press release today that said Hooters Restaurants is going to be one of the first chains to roll out a program called Pay at the Table. (Full disclosure: I write a column that appears in Hooters Magazine. I'm not technically employed by them, so there shouldn't be any conflict in writing about them. But I do get to go to events sometimes). That last part was just bragging.

This is apparently an effort to combat identity theft – your credit card never leaves your hand, the Hooters Girl comes to you with her Pay@Table device. Great. I’m totally on board. Identity theft is horrible.

Here’s the part that gets me: I have been to many, many Hooters restaurants. I have been to many, many events where there are Hooters Girls. I have gotten to know many of the Girls. (Again, just bragging). I have seen how guys act around them. I have heard what guys say to them.

So: Picture a beautiful girl in a tight tank top with tons of cleavage spilling out, walking up to a table full of beered-up guys and telling them to swipe their card. I’ve gotta figure at least a half dozen idiots a day will lunge at her chest.
