Hooters Girls in Shanghai

Went to Hooters in Lujiazui last night. Every few min­utes the wait­resses would all do a lit­tle dance in uni­son. (See above video.) They do this at the Hongqiao restau­rant also. I don’t think they do this in the US (at least not at the two I’ve been to in the Bay Area), but they should. Men want to be served food by danc­ing cheer­lead­ers. Would be even bet­ter if they sat down and fed you.

Interesting tid­bit: I went with a friend and we both look Chinese (you know, slant eyes and all), but we were greeted and served in English. In fact I think all of their wait­resses speak English pro­fi­ciently. Plenty of American fran­chises in Shanghai but I think Hooters is the only one that tries to re­main American. Or maybe Hooters doesn’t get many Chinese customers.

Curious how much a Hooters Girl makes in China? According to their em­ploy­ment page, 3500 to 5000 RMB per month for a full-​​timer. Roughly the same as what a new grad would make in an of­fice, but prob­a­bly with more op­por­tu­ni­ties to meet whities.
