FLIRTING with the attractive staff at Hooters may be fun, but it’s not likely to result in a big discount.
Asking for free drinks outright is even worse, and one server said it’s a major faux pas no matter how “cute” you’re being.
During her shift, feisty redhead Carissa (@carissasue) recorded a video aimed at a very specific group of clientele.
In the clip, she filmed herself behind the bar, preparing drinks for paying customers.
She pantomimed what her internal reaction is when Hooters customers “ask for free drinks.”
As she pulled a bottle of liquor out from the bar, Carissa danced, rolled her eyes, and flipped her hair.
She pouted and turned her butt to the camera in a final dismissal.
“If you can’t afford this six-dollar drink, I have concerns about my tip,” she wrote in the video’s description.
Servers from Hooters and other restaurants flooded her comment section in agreement.
A fellow bartender labeled the rude request “One of the most annoying things.”
“What about free fountains?” teased another would-be customer, pushing his luck.
One commenter familiar with the service industry mocked the customers who brag about their income but still beg for discounts.
“I’m a millionaire, by the way,” the jokester boasted.
There is one way to score a discount at Hooters, according to a former server who watched Carissa’s video.
But asking outright definitely isn’t an effective method.
“I never gave free drinks to anyone who asked for them,” the ex-Hooters girl wrote.
Instead, “Just be cool and memorable and maybe I’ll forget to ring some in,” she advised.
Carissa immediately endorsed the other server’s tactic. “THIS,” she wrote in response.
There was one oddball who said he’d be happy to forgo discounts entirely, as long as he got to look at Carissa.
“I’d sit there paying for every drink,” the admirer swore.
