The Tights Are on You
Hooters waitresses wear a certain type of pantyhose, which you may have noticed. Rather than going bare-legged, the scantily clad hostesses prefer to wear rather thick, glossy, natural-colored tights. The problem is that if your pantyhoses ripped before your shift started, you had to pay for a new pair from the vending machines.
Tights, on the other hand, are not constructed from a cloth that can be reused. If a tights rip during a shift, the firm must compensate for a new pair. Naturally, this prompted some trickery.
