Hooters as a Brothel?

Well maybe according to this story from the Smoking Gun.

Apparently, the Hooters Restaurant chain may be more about sexual entertainment than vicarious sexual entertainment than initially thought.

A former male assistant manager of a Hooters' store in Alabama has filed a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit that claims that a corporate trainer came to his store and advised the female waitress employees that they could make extra money by engaging in sex acts with their customers. 

When the assistant manager allegedly complained to corporate headquarters for himself and on behalf of some of his employees, his own local franchisee boss fired him for going above his head to corporate in the first place.

Like the Smoking Gun, we too have now looked at the Hooters' employee handbook (which is certainly more risque than your average employee handbook) and there doesn't seem anything in there about engaging in sexual acts with customers for additional compensation!

And about that bfoq issue concerning Hooters really being only a restaurant? Forget about it.
