Viewers were shocked after a woman claiming to be a Hooters server said she and her co-workers were fired for breaking various "rules," including dying their hair and wearing more than one nose ring.

Jardin Taylor, known as @jardintaylor, posted about the incident on TikTok, where it received more than 470,000 views and 580 comments.

The video was in response to another viral TikTok that Taylor posted earlier that day showing her and co-workers dancing before allegedly being fired. The video can be found here.

Data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in November of 2021 found that more people were leaving the restaurant industry than any other.

Many employees cited low wages, few benefits and poor management for leaving, according to Nation's Restaurant News.

In a keynote address at the Future of Food Service conference in October of 2021, Chipotle co-CEO Monty Moran said it shouldn't be a surprise "when mostly what we're trying to do is manipulate them."

According to employee wellness company Limeade, 52 percent of food service and hospitality workers who left their jobs in 2021 said burnout pushed them to quit.

In the video, Taylor explained that one of her co-workers allegedly got fired because she showed up late to work.

When the manager confronted her, the co-worker allegedly started arguing that other employees show up late and aren't reprimanded.

She explained that after two write-ups, employees are supposed to be terminated, and the employee she was describing received three.

Another employee was allegedly fired because she dyed her hair, Taylor said.

"One of the main rules of Hooters is whatever you look like when you were hired you have to maintain that standard," Taylor said. "So she dyed her hair red and they were saying you can't come into work with your hair that color."

But since she already spent the money to get her hair professionally colored, the employee refused to change her hair back and was fired.

"Another girl technically didn't get fired but she quit before they could say that she was fired," Taylor said. "So there's a jewelry rule. You can only have studs no hoops and you can't wear a necklace at work and you can only wear one ring per finger."

She said that this one employee had two nose piercings and a septum piercing although the "rule" states they can have only one nose ring.

"The last girl got fired because a customer called up to the restaurant and said that their bill was higher than what they had left," she said. "Meaning they thought that their server changed their tip which sometimes can happen."

She explained that it is not intentional but that the restaurant gets crowded and sometimes when the servers are rushed it is easy to input a tip incorrectly.

"One time I tipped myself 10 cents and it was a $100 tip and I didn't notice it until I counted my money the other night," Taylor said. "On top of those four girls being fired, four more girls transferred to a different Hooters location and then two went to a competing store."

More than 580 users commented on the post, many mentioning that Hooters seems to have a lot of rules.

"I feel like they have rules like high schools do," one user commented.

"What is this? The military," another user commented.

"Hooters rules feel an awful lot like misogyny," another user commented.

"D**n they're strict as hell I'm glad I don't work with a corporate restaurant," another commented.

"Hooters is literally the most strict job I ever had," one user commented.

"It sounds like they are grasping at straws for reasons to fire ppl," another user commented.

Newsweek reached out to Jardin Taylor and Hooters for comment.

In another viral TikTok, a server filmed herself "taking revenge" on a group of customers that left without paying for their food. Another server was encouraged to contact the authorities after a party of 11 ran out without paying the bill.

On Reddit, a server went viral after claiming to have told a customer to keep their low tip.
