I’m an ex-Hooters waitress – I made $100 tips but I had to fulfill the strangest request for an older customer
THIS former Hooter’s girl got tipped extra for fulfilling a bizarre request for an older customer and she has called the restaurant a “super-toxic work environment.”
The ex-waitress got tipped $100 on multiple occasions for not doing a lot of work, but there were some downsides to the gig including a few customers who made strange requests.
TikToker Dazee Mae (@dazeemaee) posted a video where she claimed that the Hooters servers at her old restaurant had “some really weird regulars.”
“One in particular that sticks out to me is a guy who requested that a girl bring his check to him on the shoulders of another girl,” she said.
Dazee explained that she “was one of the lightest ones on [the] day shift, and this was one of my good friend’s regulars.
“So a lot of times she would have me get on her shoulders and hand deliver his check to him.”
She added that the customer “would tip a lot more if we did this and I have no clue what I was fulfilling for him, but he was super old.”
“But just for me to ride on her shoulders across the restaurant was a couple extra bucks for me. So I did it,” said Dazee.
The ex-waitress said that the actual day-to-day operations of her job were easy, but the environment was mentally draining.
“There was multiple times I worked here where I got to up to a hundred dollars just for, I don’t know, being in shorts,” she said.
However, “it was mentally draining and exhausting,” Dazee claimed.
“It took so much of a toll on your mental health and to like see other girls be deteriorated by it was really sad and heartbreaking as well,” she said.
The ex-waitress added: “it was such good money for such easy work though.”
Dazee said that you didn’t have to do as much work as other service jobs would make you do.
“You don’t have to clean the bathrooms. You don’t have to clean the tables,” she explained.
Dazee added: “You basically have no side work at all whatsoever besides rolling silverware, which if you are in the service industry, you know, that’s not how it flies.”
However, “this really was a super toxic work environment,” she claimed.
Dazee said: “Even though I met a lot of people that I still cherish to this day, I don’t think it was ever worth it.”
