“Hooters is a great place to work when you are young and find your place in the world.”

Brenda said she gets trolled online every time she posts about her work.

“I usually don’t make myself worthy by trolling for an answer because the basis of her jokes always revolves around questioning my self-esteem or my intelligence, two things I’m not even worried about at all,” she explained.

“It’s hard to take offense when you know all his comments are based solely on my Hooters uniform.”

Due to her law studies, Brenda can only work part-time, which is common at the plant.
