Jona said her tips are roughly the same as a lawyer's hourly wage
A Hooters waitress bragged she's getting tips equivalent to a lawyers' hourly wage – even on "slow days" at work.
Jona, who works in the famous chicken wing restaurant in a small town in Massachusetts, US, showed how much she earns during a four-hour shift on a Monday.
She said: "I make my first table at 7:15pm. I'm working 7-11 – four hours – but you guys are gonna be p*ssed."
The college student starts counting the cash – two $100 bills and some $20 notes, which provides a total of $415 (around £347).
Jona added: "That comes out $100 an hour and I only had six tables all night.
"One table gave me a 100% tip – their tab is $280 and they gave me $280 because they love me.
"I was cracking jokes with them, I was selling merchandise, like all matching T-shirts and took pictures with them.
"I took such great care of them the whole night.
"People will bless you if they get outstanding service – they can go to other Hooters in the country but it's the service.

In another video, Jona said she made a total of $3772 (£3,169) in one week – and revealed most of the tips came from regular customers.
The waitress joked she's "out here making a lawyer's hourly wage while in college".
But having said this, she doesn't encourage young girls to drop out of school to work at the restaurant.
Earnings can vary depending on your looks, personality and how you treat customers.
She added: "Not every day is the same, not everyone makes the same money.
"Some girls I work with today only made $100 or less."

Jona also said she put in a lot of effort when looking after her customers
While some may think Jona flirts with customers to get extra cash, she denies this.
She added: "I know the stereotype of Hooters girls, I don't flirt with men but you have to put on a show – I was dancing and singing in the restaurant."
Since the video went viral on TikTok, many have shared their thoughts.
One envious viewer commented: "I don't even make that in a month, now I want to work at Hooters."
And a second wrote: "I need to work there but the nearest Hooters is six hours away from me."
