A Hooters waitress from Florida has gone viral after revealing how much she earned in tips after one shift.
In a TikTok with more than 10 million views, Leah Fennelly shared with her followers the amount of tips she received throughout her 12 pm to 8pm shift at Hooters.
The Thursday shift began with $3, $7, and $8 in cash. After serving three more tables, she earned $43 in cash, followed by another $127 at the end of her morning shift. One customer even tipped Fennelly $34 because he “asked for my number.”
At one moment during the evening shift, one of Fennelly’s customers happened to be a famous athlete. “I didn’t realise I’m serving a Hall of Fame pitcher for a baseball team, so I’ll let you guys know how much he tips me,” she said.
While she doesn’t mention the baseball player’s name, she does explain how she realised he was famous when customers “started going up to him and asking for pictures and autographs”.
The pitcher only left a $7 tip, even though Fennelly said that the low amount was technically 20 per cent of his total bill. She also clarified that tips during lunch shifts tend to be smaller than dinner.
The next morning, Fennelly revealed her grand total in tips to her followers, while counting the stacks of dollar bills in her kitchen. She received a total of $282 in cash from the eight hour shift, as well as an extra $100 from one of her regulars via CashApp “for sitting at my table for so long”.
“So, $382? Not bad,” Fennelly said.
