Twin Peaks markets itself as a racier version of Hooters. Twin Peaks is the fastest-growing restaurant chain in America.

"The women get points for hair, makeup, slenderness, and the cleanliness of their uniforms: fur-lined boots, khaki hot pants, and skimpy plaid tops that accentuate their cleavage," Leonard writes.

Waitresses are expected to "beguile the mostly male customers, flirting to get them to empty their wallets," Leonard writes.

In addition to menu items with tongue-and-cheek names like "well-built sandwiches," the chain pushes its extensive beer selection.

Um, that's not what we usually mean by "breastfeeding".

The irony is, there is a place called Twin Peaks in SF. It has a view of SF's Twin Peaks (actual mountains ) from its location -- on Castro St. It is not only a gay bar, it was the first one to install plate glass windows, because all it's customers were out of the closet and weren't ashamed to be seen there.

1. Both twin peaks sound like good places

Knowing some women who work to allure as intelligent, creative, and wise seeing more customers (sheep) is great. They are selling products not sex on the side. If the guys think a big tip is going to get them somewhere they aren't as smart as the gals working them.

On the second twin peaks, I'm straight not narrow. I've had some great times in gay bars with my friends and it makes me proud that my lgbt friends welcomed me to be with them.

So I'll say again, both twin peaks sound like good places.

8. You'd be surprised at how many guys just love it when the pretty young girl flirts with them

I have a friend that is in his mid 50s, married with two kids and a great job, plus his wife is a doctor. Very personable, intelligent, and also pretty liberal. He's also overweight and doesn't really dress in expensive clothes. So, if you met him, you wouldn't think he's wealthy. Yet, I remember him coming over once for a D&D game and he's all excited because he thought the cute server at Chili's was flirting with him. Everybody else was just shaking their head and reminding him that she's just being friendly to get a better tip. So, it's not just Twin Peaks & Hooters where guys lose their heads when a pretty young woman flirts with them.

9. You are so right.

I just now returned from visiting friends in Gainseville today and am calling it a day now. If you have ever driven on I-75 in the area you would know by the billboards that far too many women are exploited by the sex industry there. When I speak of my friends who know how to play the game it doesn't include anyone currently working, except for one. To watch her charm some fool out of whatever she wants is a sight to see. Those willing to be taken are taken good!

2. I doubt if I'll ever visit Twin Tits. It sounds like a manipulative phony joint.

I'd rather have a server that is warm because she/he is a nice person, not because they're expected to flirt with me.

4. I'd rather go to Raisins

5. ...and they're actually prettier.

3. If you get a sicko manager like the one in this undercover boss episode, than good luck ...

“From the beginning of orientation,” one former Twin Peaks hire told me, “they make it clear looks are a big deal. You get graded every day. The manager looks you up and down in your uniform and grades you on hair, makeup and fitness.”

If you get good grades, she explained, you pick your shifts and days off. If your grades are low, you get fired.

“They had Twin Peaks girls come in from other locations,” the woman said, “and they split us into pods where the girls taught us about makeup, fitness, hair. Every other serving job I’ve had, it’s like, just look good. You can figure it out.”

For this hire, the grading system was too much: “I’ve had serving jobs before. I know everybody judges me on my appearance, but at Twin Peaks, I had to give them the authority to judge me, which is even more degrading. It’s like, being degraded is officially part of the job, and I knew it’d kill my self-esteem.” In the end, she didn’t take the job.

6. who grades the bosses?

I'm laying odds they wouldn't pass a cheeseburger.

7. Never been to a Hooters and I doubt I'll ever go to Twin Peaks either.

Gimmicks are designed to distract you from the fact that the food usually sucks.

10. Not only that

but I'm not that easily chumped.

I've seen cleavage before you know. Hell, I've seen whole tits.

My self-esteem isn't so low that I need to pretend some young woman serving my food is interested in more than doing her job and getting tipped for the service.

11. Weirdly, I remember an excellent chow mein I ate at Hooters.

In Mobile, Al. yet.
It was so good, not only did I rave about it then, but still remember it years later.
Don't remember what the waitress looked like tho.

12. There is one of these near my office.

It's always packed with people when I drive home from work. I wonder what they serve on the menu anyway?

13. IMO: The Hangover Burger looks overpriced.
