Hooters waitress donates kidney to customer

Mariana Villarreal shared her story on Facebook following successful surgery

ROSWELL, Ga. – Hooters is well-known across the country as a place to go for great chicken wings and cold beer.

You can now add organ donations to that list.

A waitress at a Hooters location in Georgia went above-and-beyond her duties by donating a kidney to a longtime customer of the restaurant.

According to WXIA in Georgia, on Friday, Mariana Villarreal donated one of kidneys to Don Thomas who had lost both of his to cancer.

Following the successful operation, Villarreal posted a picture of her and a smiling Thomas to Instagram.

Villarreal, who hasn't worked at the location very long, said she was moved to make the gesture after her grandmother recently passed away from kidney failure.

No word on how big of a tip Thomas, a patron of Villarreal's Hooters for 10 years, will leave after his next visit.
