Waitresses Sue Hooter's Over TIps
The orange-shorted waitresses of two Hooter's restaurants in New York have filed a lawsuit contending the restaurant misappropriated their tips and forced them to pay for uniforms. According to the suit, Hooter's illegally required waitresses to share their tips with kitchen staff. The waitresses also contend that Hooter's was required to cover the cost of uniforms because they were not "ordinary street wear."
