‘Dang they need to keep me on Mondays’: Waffle House server reveals how much she makes in tips

‘On a Monday?’

Melody Heald

Servers often use TikTok to showcase how much they make in tips. A Hooters server made $553 after a 16-hour shift, and a Texas Roadhouse server only earned $60 during a 6-hour shift amid a blizzard. A Waffle House server shared how much she received in tips after working a six-hour shift on a Monday morning.

One would think Waffle House is less busy on weekdays, as it’s often seen as a late-night weekend spot. TikTok user Lilly (@sillylellers), who shares content related to her job as a server at Waffle House and has previously gone viral for counting her earnings for a Saturday 7am-2pm shift, is here to dispel that notion.

Lilly said she made $619 (per Toast, that’s “all revenue generated by food sales, beverage sales, merchandise, online orders, phone orders, gift cards, consumer packaged goods”)  during a 8am-2pm shift at Waffle House.

Lilly proceeded to count up all the money she earned in tips. She raked in $167 in tips, which averages out to roughly $27 per hour. “$167? On a Monday?” she questioned, pleasantly surprised. “Dang, they need to keep me on Mondays.”

Before wrapping up the video, the server announced she was working on Valentine’s Day, from 4pm-9pm, and unveiled a black apron embellished with red rose patterns she planned to wear. Her 5,000 followers are sure to be gifted with Valentine’s Day content from the creator.
