TikTok user @kenzjee, who works as a waitress at the restaurant chain, demonstrated purchasing the hosiery from a vending machine in the restaurant bathroom.The $5 (£3.70) tights, which come in different skin tone colours, must be worn as part of the uniform, which also consists of tiny orange shorts and a low-cut white shirt with the Hooters logo on it.And many TikTok viewers were stunned to find out that the tights weren't provided by the company and that waitresses had to pay for them themselves.Talking on the video, @kenzjee said: "People always ask me about our tights machine and I have to buy tights today so I'll just make a video about it."In the clip, which has now been viewed more than 4.7million times, she inserted a five dollar bill into a vending machine that sold the tights.She then chose the size and skin tone colour that she wanted before getting her pair.The vending machine was made by a company called Peavey Hosiery, which charges $8.49 (£6.30) for the same tights - called Suntan Hosiery - on its website. So at least they get them a little cheaper, we guess.Kenzjee explained that the reason Hooters doesn't give employees the tights for free is because they are considered 'undergarments,' so they have to 'sell them through a third party company.'She also said that the item of clothing is tax deductible as a work-related expense.However, many people still said that the company should not make their employees pay for the tights if they are required as part of the uniform.Some even blasted them the firm in the comment section.One exclaimed: "It's a company uniform, so company should pay for it.

Brother in Every Inch definitely offers the world something it’s never seen before — the training of Russian air force pilots on an actual Russian air base — but guess what: It looks exactly flight training in any other country. All the same, this second feature from director Alexander Zolotukhin (after his debut three years ago with A Russian Youth) does take you somewhere new as it examines the progress of twin brothers as they undergo the rigors of learning to fly jet fighters, even if it’s presented in a semi-arty way that is both aesthetically pleasing and dramatically skimpy. This visually entrancing short feature (just 80 minutes long) premiered in the Encounters section of the Berlin Film Festival.

Fêted and eternally fabulous, Isabelle Huppert is this year’s Berlin Film Festival honorary Golden Bear laureate for her life’s work so far, with an accompanying program of some of her most celebrated films. About Joan is her newest, screened out of competition as a Berlinale Special gala (though Huppert was unable to make the trip to Berlin after testing positive for Covid). That is quite a lot of weight to carry for Laurent Larivière’s slender story about the malleability of memory. That subject in itself, broad and deep as it is, may be too much for this rickety film to bear, even with Huppert’s flickering brilliance in the title role.

Jon Burlingame There’s a two-in-five chance that an African American will walk away with the Academy Award for original score on April 25, and if so, it will be only the second time a Black composer has won in that category. That’s because two films with Black composers were nominated this year: Terence Blanchard for “Da 5 Bloods,” and Jon Batiste, one of three composers nominated for “Soul” (along with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross).

Terence Blanchard likes to tell his students: "A turtle never gets nowhere unless he sticks his neck out." They’re words to live by for Blanchard, who didn’t set out to score films, or write orchestras, or create award-winning jazz albums. But, when the opportunities presented themselves, he took them.

After being completely snubbed by the 2021 Golden Globes, Da 5 Bloods made a comeback with the 2021 SAG Awards when nominations were announced two months ago, scoring three nods, including for stunt ensemble, making it one of the most-nominated movies at the SAG Awards this year. But the Spike Lee-directed film, which has since only earned one Oscar nomination, for best score, failed to win any of the SAG awards for which it was nominated.
