Hooters waitress exposes strict appearance and work policies in viral video
The service industry can be a toxic environment no matter where you work: with angry customers, demanding managers, and a fast-paced work environment that makes work even more stressful.

TikToker @jardintaylor has gone viral for a video she showed of herself dancing with her fellow Hooters, all in uniform, which quickly cuts to a screen of her alone saying "they're all getting fired". The video received over 4.8 million views.

She then posted a follow-up video, which received over 479,000 views, explaining what happened to all the workers who were laid off.
The first girl was fired for showing up late for her shift, which is internally referred to as a "drafting". This appears to be a punishable offense, but the TikToker explained that other girls have shown up late for their shifts multiple times.

She then delved into the strict dress codes employees face, including their hair and jewelry choices.
"One of the main rules at Hooters is that no matter how you look when you're hired, you must maintain that standard," she said. "And so [an employee] dyed her hair red and [management] said 'you can't come to work with your hair that color.' that color, so she got fired because she didn't want to change her hair."
The Hooters employee then explained that he was also only allowed to wear earrings (no hoops), no necklaces, one ring per finger and, per shot from another employee , no septum rings in the nose.
Entrepreneur has contacted Hooters for comment.
