An NYC teacher quit her job in education to pursue a new career as a Hooters Girl. It sounds like she’s having no regrets about it!

Teachers are famously underpaid. In New York City, that remains the same. That can be a massive problem when you’re living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Now, Allinson Chavez is making much more money as a Hooters Girl.

Can You Make Good Money As A Hooters Girl?

Restaurant chains like Red Lobster have been getting national headlines for going through some financial hardships recently. Even fast-food chains are struggling to bring in customers and have been creating various value menus in an attempt to bring people back. Even Hooters, famous for its delicious wings and scantily-clad servers has been going through it recently. However, for right now, it sounds like it’s a way to make good money for Chavez.

Allinson tells The New York Post, “I was making 1,000 twice a month as an educator. Now, I can make $1,000 in two days.” Wait, what? I always knew that Hooters Girls probably did well compared to other servers because of their flirting. However, I had no idea they did this well even in 2024! Why are more people not doing this? Why do some turn to the pole instead of working dinner shifts at Hooters? If you work 5 days a week, that means she could end up bringing in $130,000 a year (before taxes). Why am I not doing that right now??

It seems like there has been a mass exodus from the education field in recent years. Part of that is due to the pay and it sounds like another part of it is how students are behaving today. I can understand it, I wouldn’t want to spend every day dealing with hormonal teens. I didn’t want to be around them in High School and I certainly don’t want to now! They can be mean, and I’m quite sensitive. Evidently, I’m not the only one who feels that way. According to The New York Post, the American Educational Research Association determined that teachers are 40% more likely to report anxiety symptoms than health care workers and 20% more likely than people who work in an office.

Chavez tells The New York Post, “I was a special education teaching assistant for 10 years, and I was only making $46,000. After COVID, it was difficult getting the kids to catch up to their grade level after remote learning. I had to deal with a lot of behavioral issues. Sometimes the kids would become verbally and physically abusive. I was living paycheck to paycheck, feeling stuck and mentally drained–it was time to move on.” It sounds like her experience with unruly children might have prepared her for the type of customer she might have to deal with at Hooters.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Fast-Food Items That Need To Make A Comeback

What do you think are some fast-food items that need to make a comeback? Some of our favorite menu items are missing from our go-to restaurants, and it’s time they make their return.

Menus are constantly changing, and that’s understandable. You need to adjust with the times and keep up with what the customers want. However, sometimes you just need to listen. The people are asking for these fast-food items to make a comeback. Can you think of any you’d like to see make a return to the menu? We’ve thought of 5 (once) popular fast-food items that need to make a comeback!

These Popular Fast-Fast Food Items That Need To Make A Comeback

Right now, the popular craze in fast-food is Bargain Bundle Meals. It seems like every restaurant is coming out with a new menu bundle aimed at saving you money. McDonald’s has a $5 meal deal, as does Burger King. Taco Bell has a new $7 combo bundle, and even Sonic recently debuted a $1.99 Value Menu. That’s great that they’re thinking about our wallets during this time, where even fast food seems to cost a ridiculous amount of money. However, is it enough? There’s still a lot more these restaurants can do for us. All they need to do is pay attention. I’m sure you’ve seen people calling for certain items to come back on social media. Chances are you even have a couple of examples in mind yourself.

Admittedly, some fast-food items leave the menu for a good reason. If people aren’t buying the product, then you should probably remove it from the menu. That makes sense financially. Also, I think these restaurants should stay in their lane. I don’t need a burger from Taco Bell and I don’t need a taco from McDonald’s. Focus on what you do best and execute. What doesn’t make financial sense is when you know people are clambering for one of your delicious items to return to the menu, but you don’t make it happen. Seriously, fast-food chains would make so much more money than they already do if they re-introduced these five items to the public.

We’ve been asking… nay, we’ve been demanding and yet our voices have gone unheard. So, I’m trying again. Here are five once-popular fast-food items that need to make a comeback! If you can think of any that didn’t make the list, make sure to let us know!

  • Snack Wraps - McDonald's

    https://youtu.be/wy9lMmxNh-o?si=e9WXL-ksKNEXOm4i You probably expected to see this on the list and I can’t not include it. Seriously, people don’t talk about fast-food items that need to make a comeback without talking about McDonald’s Snack Wraps. They were a COVID casualty and the restaurant chain has blamed supply chain issues for it not making its return to menus across the country. People keep asking and asking but it hasn’t happened yet. They’ll create a new value bundle but won’t give us our Snack Wraps. It’s going to happen one day, I just hope it’s soon.

  • Twister - KFC

    https://youtu.be/1oNf6NOQCFU?si=J1_VPlwNYiv56sUT The Twister at KFC might have been one of my favorite fast-food menu items of all-time and sadly you can’t get them anymore. They were different than your ordinary Chicken Wraps and even better than the previously mentioned Snack Wraps, if I do say so myself. The chicken was crispy and delicious, the lettuce was also crispy and delicious, but it was that spice that got your attention. It wasn’t overwhelming but you knew it was there. It was the perfect flavor. I miss it every day.

  • Big Montana - Arby's

    https://youtu.be/_oT3VHK0X2w?si=Zix2uBa5G56-WNn7 Saving Silverman is one of my favorite movies and every time I watch it I’m reminded of the monster roast beef sandwich that was Arby’s Big Montana. It always looks so tasty when Amanda Peet’s character Judith eats one. Sure, Amanda adds to why it looks so good, but you can’t help but to want a bite. This thing was huge! It was a half-pound of Roast Beef! That’s probably why they ended up having to pull it off menus. They still have the meats, but back then they REALLY had the meats.

  • Double Chalupa - Taco Bell

    https://youtu.be/eQkFvfiWNpI?si=eVEoQlnRYPwm0XMU It wasn’t very long ago that we were enjoying Double Chalupas at Taco Bell. They were seemingly double the size of an ordinary Chalupa and resembled a boat. Yes, a taco boat! How tasty is that? It also had Nacho Cheese on it, which makes me miss their Nacho Cheese Chalupa. I loved the big version of the popular taco. It wasn’t long ago that they had it on menus, and it always could make a comeback. I wouldn’t be surprised. Taco Bell seems to understand the assignment and give people what they want.

  • Szechuan Sauce - McDonald's

    Of course Szechuan Sauce makes the list! The people need it to come back! It’s one of the best sauces not only that McDonald’s has ever released but in all of fast-food! The sauce made its debut in 1998 as a promotion for Disney’s Mulan and then took a nearly 20-year hiatus before coming back thanks to a Rick and Morty promotion. People again went crazy for it during its limited release and would horde the sauce. Hopefully it will return for good one day because it’s that good. Mmm how I miss that garlicky spicy goodness. It’s truly one-of-a-kind.
