It's cringeworthy when someone tries to take a covert photo in public but their flash goes off, so everyone knows they're taking a picture.

It becomes an offense at a person's place of work.
One Hooters worker saw a customer taking photos of employees in their uniforms without asking.
Instead of simply calling out the customer to his face, Hooters waitress Lydia Warren took to TikTok to publicly shame the man for his actions where she has racked up over 1.3 million views and hundreds of comments of support.
"This guy wants to come into Hooters and just take pictures of girls without asking," she tells viewers before flipping the camera around and zooming it in towards a man far away from her who is looking directly at the camera," she says.
Warren didn't stand for workplace harassment and was praised by viewers.
One viewer wrote that they weren't being uncomfortable in silence anymore. I like it!
The second-hand embarrassment would make me leave if I was at his table.
Some commenters shared their experiences working with the chain and other rival restaurants with the same rules.
One former employee said that she was a Hooter girl 23 years ago.
One viewer said that when he was a Twin Peaks manager, he would walk up to the table and tell them to get rid of their incriminating photos.
In September, a Hooters employee went viral on TikTok for exposing that her former co-workers had been let go for dying their hair and wearing the wrong jewelry.
