I’m a Hooters girl – I hate it when customers tip less than 10% and my complaint has divided opinions
A CHEEKY Hooters server made a melodramatic video about her biggest pet peeve at work.
However, her complaint has split opinions online, and some critics accuse her of having unrealistic expectations.
The employee, 19-year-old Emily Baessler (@xemily_xxx), suited up in her Hooters uniform for a cinematic run through the restaurant.
In the video, Baessler jogged from the hostess stand to the dining room, letting her hair down and gazing up at the ceiling in anguish.
Caught up in the throes of distress, she was apparently grieving a hypothetical table of demanding customers.
She captioned the video, “When you listen to the table talk for hours and they still tip less than 10 percent.”
Running after the table that jilted her wouldn’t earn Baessler a better tip from the stingy customers.
But some of her viewers swore they would be different if they ever visited her workplace.
“I’d tip 25 percent,” one high roller assured her.
A different man, even more dedicated, said, “I will tip you everything I have.”
But not everyone was on Baessler’s side.
“Tipping is not mandatory,” a snarky commenter sniffed.
One even implied the disappointing tip was Baessler’s fault.
“Nobody wants you hovering if you only expect a tip,” the troll wrote. “That’s your reason.”
One creative viewer did place the blame on a woman’s shoulders, but it wasn’t Baessler.
They said the customer “Must have been married,” adding a shrug emoji to help her brush off the slight.
