Hooters Criticized After Staff Member Reveals They Have To Buy Tights From A Vending Machine

Hooters Criticized After Staff Member Reveals They Have To Buy Tights From A Vending Machine

While Hooters has always carried the motto their place is one that will make you happy, it's clear some of their working conditions will not.

TikTokker @kenzjee has an account on which she posts lip-syncing videos and TikTok trends, but she also shares some behind-the-scenes looks of her life as an employee at Hooters, including the difficulties of putting her uniform on and communicating with difficult customers. Most of her videos were filmed in the restaurant's bathroom since there were rules about filming in the main area.


Recently, the TikTokker had been receiving a lot of questions about something in the background of her work-related videos—a vending machine with a picture of tights on it.

While getting dressed for her shift, the employee realized she needed a new pair of tights, so she filmed a video to introduce her viewers to the vending machine.

The tights cost five dollars per pair. They are dispersed in single, not for resale, packages. They also come in a variety of lengths.

You can watch the video here:

The video has since garnered nearly 350-thousand likes, with over 400 comments and over 300 shares.

Despite the brevity of the video, fellow TikTokkers had a lot to say about the employee's working conditions.

Though many companies require their employees to pay for their uniforms, viewers of the video were frustrated on the employee's behalf, because the tights are said to wear out quickly and are five dollars each, which undoubtedly adds up.

Others were more concerned about the appearance of the tights.

The TikTokker had to answer a lot of questions that looked like this one:

Some viewers of the video believed that "Suntan-B" was in reference to the shade of the tights.

But as she explained in the comments, the tights are all the same shade, no matter the skin color of the Hooters employee wearing them. Rather, the "B" or "C" or other options were in reference to length, to be determined by a person's height.

Fellow TikTokkers were concerned that employees had to provide their own tights.

While the TikTokker herself never complained about needing to purchase tights for her uniform, the TikTok community had a lot to say about it.

At least by posting the video, the employee might have created an opportunity to have an open conversation about improving work conditions at Hooters and elsewhere.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
