(VIDEO) Hooters Waitress Says One Accessory Helped Her Earn $700 In Tips During A Single Shift

A Hooters waitress recently reported earning over $700 in tips while wearing a specific accessory.

Lana, known on TikTok as @lolligrrl, conducted a social experiment to determine how wearing glasses would influence her tips during a shift at the restaurant.

In a video that has garnered 5 million views, the Memphis-based waitress stated, “Today, I’m going to see if wearing glasses will affect my tips.”

With her glasses on, Lana revealed she earned a total of $702. Notably, she received a $500 cash tip after a customer learned about her upcoming trip to Miami. Her card tips included $46.44 and $80, along with smaller amounts like $5, $3, $10, $8, and $7.62.

“I might have missed some cash tips, but today I’m taking home $702, which is unusual,” she noted. “I was really lucky today. Some days I work much harder and make less than $100, and today I only had eight tables.”

She expressed gratitude for the tips, saying they would help cover her bills while she travels.

In her video caption, Lana joked about switching to glasses full-time, believing they positively influenced her day.

Many viewers agreed, with comments suggesting that glasses can boost tips. One user shared their experience as a waitress, noting they received more tips when styling their hair in pigtails and wearing glasses.

Another commenter mentioned their own experience at an ice cream shop, where wearing glasses and braids led to higher tips. Someone else added that they were more likely to tip generously if the server wore glasses, thinking it might create a connection.

Lana isn’t the only Hooters employee to find unique ways to boost tips. Tay B, a 21-year-old waitress, shared that she noticed increased generosity from customers after revealing her pregnancy, making $417 in a single day.

Additionally, Savannah, a 22-year-old from Dallas, reported earning $570 while wearing a birthday sash during her shift.
