A woman on TikTok went viral after revealing how much she made in tips at Hooters by wearing a "Birthday Girl" sash on the days surrounding her birthday.
Hooters server and TikToker @savwayy took to the social media platform to inform viewers of the impressive amount she made in just three shifts.
She began:
“Let’s see how much I make working at Hooters on my birthday."
"I don’t actually work on my birthday, but I work today, which is Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and I also work the 26th, which is Friday."
“But I’ll wear my birthday sash all of those days. And we’re gonna see how much I make."
The TikToker began documenting the Sunday before her birthday, sharing that at the end of that shift she had made a total of $272 in tips.
“I got $10 from someone at the bar just for it being my birthday!"
She then said that sadly she had to call out on Monday, but on Tuesday she was able to clean house as well. Although she worked the slower early shift, @savwayy still managed to walk away with $121.
And then on Friday, the day after her actual birthday she racked up $178 even after her shift was cut early.
“I probably would have made more, but since I went home around 2:00, I still made really, really good money.”
So, in just three shifts, the birthday girl made a total of $571. Not too bad.

We hope she had a wonderful birthday, as well, and hopefully she treated herself a little with her extra birthday cash!
