First off it sounds like you have a gripe and want plain old revenge. Its just a waitressing job, not like you just lost your whole career over it. Sounds like a classic case of revenge and nothing more. To have this carry on for what you had stated a year plus, going into other Hooters and trying to pull the same thing. You sound wachoish.
By law and Robert is correct, they can refuse service to you for any reason whatsoever, even if you didnt do anything. Remember your a representative of whomever you work for. The employer can say at anytime that your not wanted or we dont want you there anymore for whatever reason they want.
The fact that you deliberately went to every single hooters in the area, carrying that book with you, doesnt sound normal, sounds like your mentally disturbed. The real reason that you did what you did was purely as vendeta to get that other person fired. The fact that your carrying around pictures of other people without a release form puts you in a legal position of getting sued. Walking around with other people's photos and trying to use them for legal reason without concent should have had your butt for anyone that wanted to get you back including the person you tried to get fired. The fact that you go around and publically display this situation could be grounds for a law suit, defermation, wrongful termination, and lost wages if she got fired for your stalking tactics.
With all that time you wasted, you could of gotten another job, that incident would of been in the past and you would of moved on and forgotten about it. The fact is that you didnt care about Hooter's policies, didnt care about the book or what it involved, just as long as you got your revenge on someone and went to great lengths to go about it.

First off its a theme establishment, where they are inventing a brand and a way of running a business. When you think Hooters, the first thing that comes to your attention is orange shorts and white tank tops with skimpy dresses women. The waitresses at Hooters or any type of resturants that follow that theme are not called waitresses, they are called performers. The age old concept that naked women sell alcohol. Like Al Bundy said, "Pretty women make us buy beer, ugly women makes us drink beer!" Its the same concept. Chris Rock even said in his song "No one goes to Hooters for wings" in his song No Sex in the Champiagn room.
Don't care who you are, but the only thing these performers are interested in, is how much money they can get from tables. You have to remember, performers act, they put on a show. Just like a strip club, the stripper's main purpose is to get you to spend all the money you have in your pocket and stick it into theirs. If your a regular in that place, that translates to a steady source of income for anyone that works there. The illusion starts the second you walk through that door and stops immediately when that check is dropped off. The question the customer should be asking themselves, is how much do I believe that floor show thats going on. Remember you the consumer and their job first and formost is to make you buy beer, food, and merchandise. The second you pay that bill, its the end of the road, "see ya".
There are thousands of places to go to make money, no one in this world has sob story that they have no choice but to talk around in a scimpy outfit and parade around 1/2 naked. You cant blame it on the perves, the weirdos, and any other type of odd person for the simple reason that you attact them to. That guy your serving a beer to, what are they really thinking in their mind? They are thinking the same thing the perv, wierdo or odd person is thinking. And who's to blame for that? Hooters or the Hooters like store. Then you have places like the Tilted Kilt which sexual harassement is their middle name. And how do you think they invented their brand, by copying off of Hooters, for the reason of what Al Bundy has said. The whole gimic of Hooters is to attract men, its not a family style place, its a sports bar with 1/2 naked women.
As you saw yourself from the comments from their own employee's, its all about the benjamins! Its all geared to fluff up an illusion of how stupid you are to believe the hype. They are selling a product not a service and that business is dependent upon one factor, getting you the consumer to drop as much cash on the table as possible. Who pays $9 for a grilled chicken sandwich when the cost to them is $1.09. Who pays $2.99 for a soda that costs them $.06 a glass, a tap beer, less than $.70 and they charge you $5.00 for it. The waitress there will start blabing to each other about who leaves the most money, they will fight over tables, they will talk about customers behind their backs, they will too face each other and the customers and a bunch of other things. Thats what that environment is like, when there's the potential of money to be made via the laziest, easiest way possible.
So the next time you stop by your local Hooters, leave a larger tip, and then come in again and leave alot smaller tip, see how differently you get treated and you'll see first hand the answer to what they are all about. Remember the old saying "dont bite the hand that feeds you" but Hooters waitresses not only want your hand, they want your arm and leg as well!

And u sir and ur type was the only thing I hated about my job. The money was great ,I loved being in a glamous industry winning numerous bikini contest,real photoshoots, if u were one of "the pretty ones" this company will treat u well and live a very nice lifestyle. Plus having aton of other pretty girlfriends was the best but the downside for every nice respectful customer there's alway a few creepers that would regularly come in the store. Yes that's right we would call UR TYPE CREEPERS!! Or pervs or stalkers or weirdos oh and don't forget pathetic losers!!
U r so typical. U sir are on the extreme end but let me explain how u arewitout even knowing u. First your a pos second u r a white male, 40-55 YEARS OLD,'aybe married once but doubbtful,overweight, no children bc if u were a father u would realize that these girls are just babies, was somehow malested, slicked greasy balding hair probably wears glasses def wears cheap as f**k cologne, no fashion sense bc ur a dork. U drive a small compact car at least ten years old and u belong in a mental institute or on a prison so u have the full bondage experience.
Your obsesed with Hooters bc its the only time any women especially a pretty women has given u an ounce of attention bc we r made to bc its our JOB. SINCE U probably stole the handbook or paid a Hg ur whole paycheck to grab u one u should look towards the front were it says. "The restaurant is our stage and the customers are our audience!!" Its a big ACT! To make u come back and keep putting money into the company and tips into. Our pouches.
Ya u really showed hooters u pos by promoting their top girl that has a convention center right across the street. God ur a big pos. So stupid. Know. Wondering every store new about u not only are u a dangerous stalker ur an idiot. The would totally love to lose u as a customer as long as u keep promoting hooters.
U would cry like a baby if u knew what was being sad about u before ur album drama. U couldn't even imagine what was being said about u now the the weird lonely "fake photographer" actually proved how weird u are by doing this immature bs. The whole time ur in there and a girl was talking to u is bc we didn't wanna get in trouble and we hated that u would spend hours by urself with ur crooked homeaide business cards and ur big a*s old camera around ur fat neck. Just bc u like bondage,pretty young girls and u can print out some fake biz cards and u own a camera doesn't make u a photographer of any kind!!! What it makes u is a dangerous sicko loser that preys on young girls bc women ur age laugh in ur face and u can't afford a stripper to sit there long enough and listen to ur pathetic life. I wish the worst on u!!!

They can refuse service to anyone at anytime. Period. They are a private business as are my 2 business ventures. They and I can refuse service to anyone. If I tell you not to come onto my property because I don't want you as a customer, that's too bad for you. Oh, and I don't have to give you some fancy "corporate policy" reason for barring you from my premises-all I have to do is tell you to stay away. If you come back, it's tresspassing and you will suffer the legal consequences for it. They don't want your business-move on. You created a situation that they don't want to deal with. The easy solution was to bar you from the premises.

YOU DON"T HAVE THE GUTS TO GO PICK UP A STREET HOOKER SO YOU PICK ON THESE YOUNG LADIES WHO HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO MAKE A LIVING. YOU ARE QUITE FRANKLY ACTING IN A WEIRD, DISGUSTING MANNER TOWARDS SOME NAIVE YOUNG LADIES AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING. AND IT IS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE SOME FUN.ATTRACTIVE YOUNG LADIES IN DAISY DUKES AND CLEAVAGE --ALL AMERICAN CHEESECAKE...WHAT PART ABOUT OK TO LOOK AND DON"T TOUCH DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? IT IS JUST FANTASY AND WHOLESOME FUN...IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE WAITED ON BY LOVELY YOUNG LADIES BUT THAT IS IT. IT STOPS THERE AT THE DOOR! UNFORTUNATELY, YOU DON'T GET IT. I READ YOUR APOLOGIA WHY YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO JUSTIFY WHY YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO GO TO A STRIP CLUB OR GO OUT WITH LADIES MORE YOUR OWN AGE.. YOU PROBABLY FIND THEM TOO INTIMIDATING...MAYBE YOU LIKE BLACKMAILING THE YOUNG LADIES --ENTICE THEM TO POSE IN PROVOCATIVE PHOTOS AND THEN --GOTCHA! MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO GO PICK UP A STREET HOOKER OR SOMEBODY LIKE THAT IF YOU WANT TO SHOOT PORNO PHOTOS --BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO THIS. APPARENTLY NOBODY EVER WARNED THOSE YOUNG LADIES ABOUT SLEAZOIDS LIKE YOU AND THE MANAGERS NEED TO DO SO! THIS IS A RESTAURANT FOR YOUNG GUYS AND THOSE WHO LIKE TO BE WAITED ON BY PRETTY YOUNG WOMEN AND THAT IS ALL. PERIOD. UNFORTUNATELY, PRETTY YOUNG WOMEN TEND TO ATTRACT LECHEROUS WEIRD DUDES WHO DON'T WANT TO GO BY THE RULES OF THE RESTAURANT WHICH IS LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH, LEAVE THE HELP ALONE WHEN THEY ARE OFF DUTY, DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NAIVE INEXPERIENCED YOUNG PEOPLE... YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR CAMERA AND FIND SOME STRIPPERS OR HOOKERS WHO WILL BE MORE AMENDABLE TO THE KIND OF PHOTOS YOU WANT TO TAKE AND LEAVE THESE LITTLE WAITRESSES ALONE!!!!! FROM WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN HERE, YOU ARE ONE CONTROLLING, WEIRD ************!YOU WROTE A PAEN, AN APOLOGIA TO JUSTIFY WHAT CAN NOT VE JUSTIFIED! If I was that manager, I would pull a photo of you from the surveillance camera and give a copy to each law enforcement agency person who comes in and I would circulate it to all of the Hooter's in a 100 mile radius ---AND I would BAN you from my restaurant...And I would get an INJUNCTION to keep you OUT! IT'S JUST A PLACE TO HAVE A FEW DRINKS, EAT SOME CHICKEN WINGS,WATCH SPORTS ON TV AND SEE PRETTY GIRLS AND THAT'S ALL. NOW GO FIND YOURSELF SOME WOMEN OF YOUR OWN AGE AND SOPHISTICATION AND LEAVE THE KIDDIES ALONE!

You sound like the hooters girl's worst nightmare. A creepy regular. She probably trusted you at first and was looking for a way to make some extra money. Then realized it was a mistake and felt uncomfortable by your presence...just let it go.
