Twin Peaks servers aren’t just expected to deliver food and drinks—they’re expected to look a certain way while doing it. For some women, that added layer of scrutiny can feel just as demanding as the actual work.
One server in Florida recently went viral for pulling back the curtain on how much appearance impacts her work environment.
Twin Peaks Worker Explains ‘Ranking System’
TikTok creator Cam (@camm.headd) shared a video describing what happens if her nails aren’t flawless before clocking in as a Twin Peaks server. Her clip has already drawn nearly 1 million views.
“You guys probably don’t know this, but working at Twin Peaks, we either have to have all of our nails on or no nails,” she begins.
Since some of hers had fallen off, she explains she saved them and started gluing them back on before her next shift.
Cam explains why it mattered so much. “They won’t send you home, but it will be very detrimental to my ranking next week,” she says. According to her, servers are ranked on a weekly basis. That rank then determines scheduling, sections, and even who gets to leave first at the end of a shift.
“Ranks come out every Monday,” she continues. “So if you have a bad score, you have a bad score for a full week, and you’re kind of screwed.”
She adds that the system scores workers on a mix of things: showing up on time, completing tasks like running food and drinks, helping co-workers, and wearing the right uniform for each day.
But appearance is weighed heavily, too. “Making sure you have all of your makeup on. Makeup is a big part. Nails go into makeup—same category,” she says.
Do Twin Peaks Locations Really Rank Servers?
It’s unclear whether this is a company-wide policy, but servers across the internet have described similar systems.
On Reddit’s r/waiters, one former worker said they spent six years at Twin Peaks and confirmed weekly ranking sheets were posted. “You can make a great amount of money but the job contributes to body image issues and harassment on the daily,” they wrote.
The rank, they said, depended on sales, appearance, and even “the tone of your body.”
Another person in the same subreddit but a different post described the rankings as a “date-ready” score, claiming it was damaging to young women’s confidence and often pushed them to compare themselves to co-workers.

Commenters Call It Toxic
Commenters overwhelmingly agreed the environment sounds unhealthy.
One person wrote, “I don’t even work there, but I quit.”
Another said, “That sounds like such a toxic environment.”
Others shared their own experiences.
“I just quit my Twin Peaks job and am sooo glad it’s over. I’ve lost all my eyelashes and my nails have never been in worse shape,” one user shared.
And someone else described the system in harsher terms, writing, “Ranking the girls and calling them sisters seems like psychological warfare.”
