Here's something you might be interested in.
I was driving thru Mission Valley and noticed two Hooter's girls standing on the corner working. By working, I mean, for the restaurant.
One had a hoola hoop, but on her arm. Another had a sign. I couldn't read what it said. NOT because I wasn't looking at the sign. I was just driving by too fast.
The first bad marketing move here was having the women standing outside. Isn't the point to get the goofy guys to buy the overpriced wings and things, and checking out the waitresses in the orange shorts? If you put them outside, they don't have to spend money to oggle the gals.
Second...why use the pregnant waitress? It was a very odd looking. Don't get me wrong, and don't write letters. But a pregnant woman trying to look sexy, just doesn't work for me. Sure, Demi was beautiful on that magazine cover. But not sexy.
Then, I was at an AM/PM getting my crunchy ice fix, and filling up with gas. The line had five people and one guy was taking a long time. I finally heard what he was trying to tell the cashier. He said "It's that white van out there. I don't know what pump number." The cashier was looking out the window, trying to figure it out and couldn't. The guy had to finally walk out and check again.
People...gas stations aren't like they were in the 70s. We all know how they work now. You either use your credit card and never come into the store. And if you are, you look at what pump number you're at. It's really not that hard.
And lastly...I was listening to some of the Giants/Chargers game on the radio when I was driving to my destination. And the announcers mentioned the "New York Football Giants."
Come on, announcers. You've been doing this for years, and it just sounds silly.
If we're listening to a football game (or watching it), we don't need the destinction between the Giants baseball team and the Giants football team. For one, the "baseball" Giants left New York an awful long time ago. And they're now called the San Francisco Giants.
That's all.
