hell when i quit Hooters, i told the manager off and threw a stool and asked him to step outside. i got a standing ovation from the customers and the girls. it was great! then i was in like 3 weeks after that and he came in from home just to kick me out, i got 6 free beers and free fries that night cuz he booted me before i could pay
