I’m a Hooters server – female customers are rude to us but your relationship is ‘safe,’ I don’t want your man
MOST customers go to Hooters for the unique atmosphere and friendly staff, but some clients aren’t fans of the franchise.
The servers are aware of this phenomenon, and they have a message for women accompanying a husband or boyfriend to the restaurant.
The friendly tip came courtesy of server Katherine Urbina (@kat2bleaa), who works at a Hooters franchise in Texas.
She recruited a fellow staff member for a short video, filmed during bikini week, with a message for customers.
The pair posed in triangle tops, and matching scowls, as they used a viral TikTok sound to make a point.
In the clip, they recreated a common scenario: “When that one girl keeps mean-mugging us and doesn’t let her man order for himself.”
Shaking their heads at the camera, Urbina and her coworker lip-synched.
They reassured the hypothetical customer they weren’t out to “steal” her boyfriend. “We are good. We are good,” they mouthed. “You’re safe.”
“I promise,” Urbina added in the caption, “None of us want your man.”
The video was made in good humor, with lots of laughing emojis tacked on.
Luckily, the joke landed well with Urbina’s followers, especially other Hooters servers in the comment section.
“He doesn’t even tip good enough for us to want him, sis,” one waitress wrote.
Another laughed, calling the man in question a “$5 tipping a***.”
Female Hooters customers chimed in, too.
They pledged to be polite and respectful, and explained their valid reasons for ordering for their partners.
“Mine just doesn’t speak English,” one woman wrote. “I’ll have to worry about myself and not him,” she said, throwing in a laughing emoji.
Another woman said her boyfriend is particularly shy, but she would do her best not to seem overbearing.
“I always try and have a smile on my face and say please and thank you every time,” she said.
