Do You Have To Be Skinny To Work At Twin Peaks?

If you serve at Twin Peaks, you know what’s expected of you. You know how you’re supposed to look, and you know your appearance is judged every single workday. “From the beginning of orientation,” one former Twin Peaks hire told me, “they make it clear looks are a big deal. You get graded every day.

Colby acknowledges the Twin Peaks girls are evaluated on their appearance but uses different terms to describe the process: “We don’t call it a ‘grading system’; what we have in place is a ‘performance review’—our Twin Peaks girls go through a performance review on a daily basis, but we never use the term ‘grade.’”

The regular uniform at Twin Peaks is already revealing: Tiny khaki shorts, fur-lined boots, and a cropped, tied-at-the-ribs midriff-baring shirt with a deep plunging neckline.

In 2018, two former servers at Twin Peaks filed a complaint alleging that they were harassed at a Chicago area location of the restaurant, claiming that working there was tantamount to “work at a strip cub.”

What is a typical day at work?

A typical day at work consists of a full face of makeup, hair done, nails done, perfect uniform every day or else you would be penalized. Rank sucks and is a very backwards way of judging your employees. Management was cool, but not professional or helpful in most situations.

It is fun to dress up and look cute. Also they have a score sheet so if THEY felt you looked nice or did a good job you would get points and be the first one to go home. Usually they already had their favorites picked out so you didn’t stand a chance. And if you were hungry you had to eat a certain meal off the menu called spa meals so you would look skinny due to the small portions.
