We’re former Hooters waitresses – the restaurant has the most bizarre request for the uniforms
FORMER Hooters waitresses have shared the restaurant’s bizarre request for the uniforms they had to wear.
The restaurant chain is known for its waitresses wearing tight white tank tops and orange shorts.
TikToker Dazee Mae (@dazeemaee) recently shared a video about her time working at a Hooters restaurant.
Dazee applied to work at Hooters shortly after turning 18.
She claims to have worked at three to four different locations over a three-year span.
Dazee claimed that she had to sign a waiver that stated that she was subject to being fired if her weight fluctuated.
After signing the form, she then claimed that she went into a bathroom to try on the signature Hooters uniform.
She then shared some of what she claimed were the dress code rules, including that waitresses aren’t allowed to have tattoos or jewelry except for a wedding band.
The former employee also claimed that waitresses are required to be in full makeup with their hair styled at all times.
Dazee went on to share a story from her time working at the restaurant.
She claimed that a regular customer would tip more if his check was delivered by a waitress riding on the shoulders of another waitress.
“Just for me to ride on her shoulders across the restaurant was a couple extra bucks for me,” Dazee said.
“I have no clue what I was fulfilling for him.”
Dazee’s video has been viewed more than 1.5million times.
Many shared their thoughts on the hiring process in the comments.
“I interviewed at a hooters, tried the uniform on, walked out of the bathroom to show the manager how I looked … and I was not comfortable with the process at all, felt weird to me to be modeling a [uniform] for someone my dads age. I didn’t get hired either,” one person claimed.
“I tried the uniform on and had to come out to show the middle aged male manager & have him take a picture of me to send to higher ups. Never went back,” another shared.
Hooters has previously been sued for allegedly discriminating because of weight.
Two Michigan waitresses sued the company in 2010 claiming that they were told to lose weight or they’d lose their positions at the restaurant, Mid-Michigan Now reported.
Hooters claimed at the time that the lawsuit shouldn’t be allowed because their waitresses are entertainers whose looks matter, according to NBC News.
The case was eventually settled outside of court.
The U.S. Sun has approached Hooters for comment and insight regarding their hiring process.
