The video, posted by @kenzjee on TikTok, was taken in the Hooters bathroom in Texas after a bad experience with a group of underaged customers.

In the TikTok, the waitress explains that she had a group of 16-year-old boys come in and beg her to give them bottles of Michelob Ultra.

Since they didn’t have valid IDs, she told them no, but that she could get them any drinks that didn’t contain alcohol.

The boys then ordered teas and no food, and instead of leaving a tip on their $13.94 order, they drew a photo of a middle finger.

“Little boys are so annoying,” the TikToker captioned the video.

“This group of, like, 16-year-old boys just came and sat in my section, begged me for [Michelob Ultras], no IDs.

“And then, when I told them no and told them I could get them waters or anything else, they decided to draw a middle finger on my receipt and not tip me anything after they left,” @kenzjee said on TikTok.

The video has reached over 363,900 views, and has sparked a lot of debate over underaged and teenage drinking in the comment section.

“Guys turn 16 and get a single hair on [their] chin and think they can pass for 21,” one user complained.

“That is messed up!” another commented. 

Some TikTokers told the waitress that she should have had the underaged boys removed from the premises immediately instead of being nice and serving them tea.

“That’s where you kicked them out immediately,” one user commented. 

“The restaurant that I worked at would kick people out and not give this a chance to happen,” a second responded. 

Some commenters were in favor of allowing the boys to have a beer, including one who wrote, “Stop accepting tiered adulthood as the norm…literally 99% of all the other countries allow alcohol at 18.”

In the state of Texas, if a waitress is caught serving alcohol to minors she could face a $4,000 fine and jail time up to one year.

Hooters’ press team was reached for comment on their underaged drinking policy by email.
