A Hooter waitress who has chosen to remain anonymous recently opened up on what she and her scantily clad colleagues are sick of hearing from jerk customers while working in a famous beer and wings joint. She also shared her responses to the creepiest ones and their lame attempt to ask her out.
The worker who spoke to INSIDER gave an example of a guest who had asked her, “Are you on the menu?” Her response was a fake laugh to ease the tension before saying, “Hahaha, Okay, whatever grandpa.” The waitress added she often overhears irksome sexual comments from customers.
A Hooters waitress has opened up about some of the comments she and her colleagues are sick of hearing.
One comment she regularly hears is: “Why aren’t you smiling? Just smile more. Aren’t you happy to be here?” The waitress, a Black woman, added she often also gets comments like: “I like me some hot chocolate. I love me nice, dark feisty girl.” The waitress isn’t definitely no stranger to fetish phrases, but of course, she’s sick of THEM.

However, ignoring comments as the mentioned above turns out to be a lucrative part of the job. The waitress had once trained another server on making three-figure tips, in part by ignoring sexist comments male customers make. Well, there are instances where she knows she won’t get a tip from patrons when they order a single glass of water.In response to a guest who asked, “Are you on the menu?” The waitress explained she fake-laughed to ease the tension.
“I’m not saying you can’t order water, but if there is a single guy or giant group of teenagers and they all order water, no food, I automatically know I’m not about to get a tip.” The worker explained. She shared other phrases directed toward her, and it’s that “Hooters is a strip club” and that “Hooters girls are dumb.”
The waitress, a Black woman, also often hears that “Hooters is a strip club” and “Hooters girls are dumb.”
The worker also revealed that many girls work at the restaurant as a side gig to earn extra money. It turned out the waitress had a master's degree, and her manager from her first store while getting her nursing degree was a Hooters girl. Nonetheless, Hooters has garnered some backlash over their skimpy outfits. In October, workers had been forced to wear shorts that barely covered their behinds, but thankfully, the company reversed its policy on dress code.
