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.
