From Breastaurant Waitress to Stripper?

I was in our local Twin Peaks the other week with the guys from the office and actually felt like more of a PL than I would walking into a SC but that all went away when our waitress approached the table. She was a smoking hot 10 probably in anyone’s book and knew exactly how to bend over, arch her back, and stick out her butt for maximum effect when taking our order and every time she came back to check on us. I was mesmerized and would have paid a lot of $$$ to see her dance (and of course feel her dance). I was very tempted to ask her if she happened to dance nights but couldn’t quite figure out how to ask without potentially insulting her and also didn’t want to say anything in front of my co-workers.
This got me to thinking, since apparently SC experience is a gateway to escorting, is breastaurant waitress a gateway to stripping? Alternatively, could it be a day job for a stripper, especially in areas like mine where the SC’s don’t open until late afternoon/evening?

One of my friends used to live at a Tilted Kilt that was in a university town and the majority of the girls there were really actually in college. At the local strip clubs none of those girls were in college - you could see a clear difference between the two.
I have often considered the Millstream to be one step beyond a breastaurant. Full kitchen, topless dancers, tamer dances.
The jump from flirting at Hooters to nude, 2-way lappers seems to be a big one to me....
Do you think any strippers try to "clean up their act" - and move from dancing to working at a breastaurant?
Quite a transition, in my mind at least.

They dress in sexy/provocative outfits to draw attention to themselves and get tips/bigger-tips; sounds pretty similar to stripping.
I think Nina Mambina posted that she was a Hooters girl at one point but IDK if that was prior-to or while she was stripping.
Thanks for letting me know where to look. I remember there was a discussion earlier about all the views that pornhub gets each year - now there are a few more!
For degree of difficulty, one of my other current faves went from Buffalo Wild Wings waitress to stripper. I have no idea how that happened.
I would think you could make almost as much from tips at a busy Breastaurant unless you did extras.
All the relatively smart dancers I have ever talked to say the same thing that you have to work it hard both on and off stage to make any money. Sitting on your ass with a few young non spenders won't make anything. That is why there is such turn over.
To me what is the difference between a stripper that does extras, an escort, or a porn actress? All screw for money, just in different locations. Many new porn actresses think they can jump from porn to regular movies.NOT!
It's the same in most industries - as there is a small percentage at the top of the food chain - who make great money - and the majority work hard to get by - just like the rest of us.
I wonder to what extent this applies to women. A girl working at a breastaurant can honestly just tell people she's a waitress; it doesn't take much more courage to say she works at Hooters, I would guess. But it feels like it could be a pretty big psychological step to go from "waitress at a restaurant where I wear skimpy clothes" to something like stripping, which is stigmatized by society.
I could definitely see breastaurant waitress as kind of a gateway drug ... many/most women will feel that that's their personal limit and that they're happy with the money they're making, but a good number will decide "this wasn't as bad as I though, and if I make this much money here, I'm willing to go for big money stripping". And alternatively, I totally can believe a stripper who decides that stripping is too much for her (because of a boyfriend, or whatever), might use breastuarants as a halfway house step out of the sex biz
Do a google search-- about 10-12 years ago the Hooters in Auburn AL got in big trouble. Their female corporate trainer told the girls they were expected to "service" high rollers. One quote was about getting the whale tips-- "If that means you have to suck a cock, you suck the cock. Whatever it takes." That was from the female corporate trainer!
While she was not at the training session, one friend tried working at that Hooters for a short while. On football weekends there were lots of rich PL type guys parked around there in RV's. Some waitresses regularly went out the back door to take "Winnebago breaks".
The only perk ab being a waitress is that you don't have to dance on strange in a thong, and you don't have to give dances. Those girls still have ongoing customer relationship, and I've heard some stories ab breastraunt girls making even crazier demands than strippers of their customers friends. Plenty of strip club waitresses, and bartenders, make more than dancers. I know dancers who used to be waitresses, but couldn't stand all of the rules and demands of the club.
Is that what you meant to type or was it a Freudian slip when you intended to write stage?

Tiredtraveler, I would hope not. A girl I knew who did work at Hooters said she made $150-200 on a Friday or Saturday night. I would be appalled to make that as a dancer even on a weekday. I'm sure the money is better at really touristy places and get the occasional huge tip but in general I disagree completely.
At a corporate nationally run chain, such as Hooters, girls who can make it as strippers can't start out as waitresses. Because such chains require all the things which are useless to strippers but useful for their waitresses -- remembering a customer's order, arriving on time, working rapidly to all orders regardless of size or income-potential, raising tippage mostly off of charm and polite interaction, etc.. So, at a typical Hooters, I think most waitresses are likely to never become strippers, just as most strippers are not likely to ever have been Hooters waitresses, in general.
At a crappy single-location "breast-aurant", especially in smaller cities, I think waitresses are highly likely to link over to stripper-dom. Those places hire the girls without such corporate necessities in mind; they're the "village Venus" types, hottest girl in their senior class and never met anyone who didn't think so; they thrive on the positive feedback that their visual appearance automatically gives them. Then they hit the disappointment of lack of money for beauty which waitress-pay gives them, and upscale it. By learning literally no new skills, but walking across the street from "Hoot-o-rama" to the local strip joint, their income quintuples overnight.
So, stripper from waitress at corporate breast-aurant? probably no, with a few random variations; but, stripper from waitress at individual mom-n-pop breast-aurant? highly likely yes. IMO.
I knew of a stripper or two who got temporary jobs at Hooters. I saw them there. One was in between stripping jobs. One was leaving the business working on her degree. She succeeded. In a strange turn of events a year or two ago, I saw her on tv. A dog got dragged and taken to the vet for treatment. She treated the dog, I recognized her. I rarely get to find out that dancers successfully transitioned to other jobs while still young and pretty but I have seen it happen. Almost seems like a shame that they quit so early but I guess they wanted to quit the business. They thought of stripping as a temporary job.
