A waitress claims she was sent home for wearing an “ugly and inappropriate” top to work – and then lost her job when she posted about the incident online.
The woman posted a video on TikTok showing off her outfit at home before the shift, and followed it up with a clip of her left in floods of tears in her car after saying she had been sent home from her job at a restaurant and bar.
The 21-year-old says: “Hi guys, I just got off work and I got sent home for my top, because they didn’t like my top. What the f*** is this, a f***ing fashion show? I don’t get it.”
She claims that customers wear similar outfits but her long sleeve crop top and matching trousers were considered “ugly and inappropriate”, adding that the restaurant has “paintings of naked girls on the f***ing walls”.
The waitress continues: “It just doesn’t make sense. I’m so mad because I drove 45 minutes here.”
In a later update, she then claims that she returned to work another day, when she was fired for posting the video on social media, explaining: “I drove to work, and drove 45 minutes here, and they fired me.
“Yay, I’m so happy, I’m literally – this is the best day ever. They said because of my TikTok and someone commented the name of the restaurant near the TikTok. And I’m fired, and now I don’t have a job.
“I’m 100 per cent sure the owners and the managers are going to see this TikTok and I don’t care, I’m literally just expressing my feelings,” before adding that she had never named the restaurant in her posts.
The original video racked up more than half a million views, and people were left divided as to whether the restaurant had acted unfairly to let her go.
Some defended her, saying: “They’re jealous babes! You look amazing,” and a second said: “No because you don’t deserve this YOUR TOP LOOKS SO GOOD LIKE WHAT’S WRONG WITH THEM??”
