A Hooters waitress has lifted the lid on working at one of the world's most famous restaurant chains in a candid Reddit thread.

The anonymous woman, going by the alias hootiecutie, says she lives in Canada and applied for a job at the chain six months ago to 'get experience' - although she has ambitions of becoming a teacher or book editor one day.

She invited fellow Redditors to 'AMA' - ask me anything - in the thread, and didn't hold back as she was quizzed on everything from her working hours to flirting with customers at the restaurants whose staff are primarily attractive women in low-cut tops.

And, in a bid to prove that she really was a genuine Hooters waitress, the English and History graduate even shared photographs of what she claims is her work uniform and most recent pay slip.

'I've been working at Hooters for half a year,' she explained. 'I've seen a couple other AMA's from hooters girls, but felt they weren't being 100% honest.

'I'm shy, quiet, and nerdy. Completely the opposite of what you would think a hooters girl to be like, but somehow I got hired anyways. Obvious throwaway is obvious. Ask me anything!'

Larossmann was keen to find out whether she finds it hard to 'respect' customers who may be more interested in the waitresses' physical attributes than the food itself.

'The regular customers I have a hard time respecting,' she admitted. 'But just general customers, I don't think I see them any differently than I would customers at a different restaurant.'

One Reddit user asked what their make-up policy was, remarking it appeared 'caked on'.

She also shared an image of what she claims is her June 2016 pay cheque from Hooters. She claimed she 'just' earns minimum wage but, in spite of that, she does not resent working at the famous restaurant chain

'Officially, we need to be wearing at least blusher/ broznzer, lipgloss and mascara but any time a girl has worn the bare minimum, she's gotten in trouble,' she replied.

'When I applied, I opted for a more natural look and was told that I needed to wear more makeup.'

Swackhammer quizzed her on the hiring process, asking: 'Do you know how the company gets around being biased off of looks?'

She said that having 'looks requirements' was dependent on staff being hired as 'entertainers' rather than waitresses.

She also said that she was asking to sign a form 'saying that I understood that I would be sexually harassed and that I was okay with it' - a claim that has not yet been verified.

When asked whether she had seen the Hooters edition of the Undercover Boss programme, and how accurately it portrayed the restaurant, she went into great detail on their dress code policy.

'They still do the uniform line up and inspections, and girls get sent up for not looking up to standards,' she said.

'We're not allowed to wear nail polish, french nails only. We're not allowed to wear jewellery. We're not allowed to show tattoos. Any highlights in our hair can only be a two shade different. No ombre, no roots.'

Others were keen to know whether the waitresses' charming demeanor was genuine or not, to which she replied: '98% chance it's not real,' later going on to say how after receiving a tip her smile will 'drop' and she'll 'roll her eyes' as she turns away from a table.

In one particularly cringeworthy anecdote, the Hooters waitress told how a female customer 'wouldn't let the guy she was with speak to me even to order' (file photo)

And in one particularly cringeworthy anecdote, she told how a female customer 'wouldn't let the guy she was with speak to me even to order.'

However she was quick to clairfy that this was an isolated incident, adding: 'Lots of the women are really nice and just genuinely curious. But I do live in Canada, and I think attitudes towards sexuality are a lot more liberal here.'

She also claimed she 'just' earns minimum wage but, in spite of that, she does not resent working at Hooters. 'I didn't have any experience or connections, so I got a job based on my looks,' she explained.

'Work there for a bit, get experience, find better job. It's a lot better than any of the other low experience jobs out there.'
