“When you worked there, you really owned your feminine energy. As a waitress, you have to be confident to walk up to strangers and talk. But we had to have thick skin and not just confidence, but you had to own it,” Brie said. he told the New York Post.
‘You’re approaching men who are excited and want to go crazy. So we knew how to keep them in line… and we all set boundaries… and we didn’t tolerate any nonsense from our clients.
“So he really taught me from a young age to stand up for myself and own myself, own the room and own the table. And I think he really helped me in pro wrestling to adopt that attitude.”
“Squeezing your cleavage, you’d be like, ‘Do you want more fries with that?'” Nikki commented.
“Yeah, we got really creative. With the slang, we even said, ‘I hope you had a lot of fun with Hooter-fic,'” Brie added.
“You came up with a pretty naughty line as a waitress there. And let’s face it, everyone loves watching the Hooters girls do the YMCA and hula hoop. The tips were adding up.”
