Hooters is quite possibly the worst example you could have pulled up for your argument.
Hooters begins it's business life by losing a 1.2mil lawsuit for copy-write infringement. Hooters has lost class-action lawsuits brought by it's employees
(about 400 employees) not only for the appearance of their uniforms, but also for charging employees for the uniform, forcing employees to pay for customers who ditch, and not giving regular brakes as required by law. Hooters has also lost a few individual lawsuits for wrongful termination when they claimed waitresses were to fat, when the waitresses in question had actually lost weight in the months after being hired.
Hooters won a notable lawsuit when a few men claimed employment discrimination based on sex when Hooters wouldn't let them be wait staff. Hooters was able to demonstrate a
Bona Fide Occupational Qualification, that a girls-only wait staff was essential to the business model and also demonstrating in court that allowing men would harm the business.
Hooters is a fine example of an abusive employer and their legal history bears this out.
