Can't wait to be in Denton soon.

I wouldn't be caught dead in Hooters; but there are plenty of other places to smoke....

Sweetest girl I ever knew was from Denton..Helen Culp. But when I lost
last weekend town priveleges in boot camp, I failed to meet her as planned
and she never spoke to me again. And I could not call her to tell her I was
being disciplined. ROMANTIC TRAGEDY.

Although not a popular response, they at least made their own decision to not allow cigar smoking and were not forced to by the government. It was a free decision and now they will have to face the consequences. Just like we are still free to make the decision to eat their or not depending on how we feel about it.

Nothing personal, but we always complain about not allowing business owners to make their own choices but we also complain if they do make their own choices and they are not in our favor.

Just a thought...

I agree with this statement, but I also think it is a decision that should be phased into businesses. Start posting signs a month before saying that the restaurants policy in regards to smoking will be changing on a certain date, etc. Heck, if I had planned on watching a basketball game with some fine cigars and great wings, and then to have that shot down at the last second, I would be frustrated.

But you are right, at least it was the business that was making this decision and not the government. Let the market decide which businesses want to allow smokers.

100% agree that it would have been nice to know that it was coming!

Sounds like an "Andy Griffith Show" episode, Brad.

There was no business decision behind it, just some whiny waitress that couldn't even come up with a feasible excuse who had a manager that doesn't know what the business decision is.

Coming from IL where you can't smoke inside or 15ft from doors, Denton will be a step up.

For the last time Dokk, the patrons (you) are not allowed to wear orange shorts and a tank top into hooters. Just get over it.

I'll go to Hooters in Chicago, though, Admiral

Hooters is completely tame....I go there with buddies who bring their wife and kids.

And maybe those students would be the mortified ones!

I guess it doesn't have the same stigma here, I see families and couples in there all the time.

The Professor · 04-30-2009, 02:59 PM

Maybe it's just because I've never been there.

Tom ... will you pop my Hooter hymen?
