A server known as Jay on TikTok (@secretarnoldpalmer) recently lifted the curtain on the intense and specific standards required to work at Hooters, revealing a daily routine she claims would send the average person “into psychosis.” Jay, who posted the details on social media, outlined the exacting requirements staff must meet just to keep their jobs, covering everything from mandatory uniform checks to strict makeup grading.
If you’ve ever worked a job where you had to also be a model, then these will sound very familiar. In my time working at high-end sales places, I have seen models work as wait staff, and this kind of thing was seen as normal. Technically, these aren’t minimum wage staff, and they tend to make a lot of money, and they generally have “model” in the contracts. However, it comes at this high standard, and the strictness starts the minute the staff arrive for their shifts.
