I've been searching for a summer job over the past few weeks. So far, not much has turned up. Radio Shack turned me down; Famous Footwear hasn't called back, and neither has Starbucks. The one job offer I did get turned out to be offering so few hours for such bad pay that I had to turn it down.
Today I finally got an interview — and a second interview — with a new sports bar opening in Grand Forks. I never actually thought I'd want to work in that sort of environment, but lately, the thought of working with food has started to be more appealing. So, when the interviewer said she'd like to offer me a job, I decided to accept the second interview.
Then I saw the uniform: plaid mini-skort, black baby doll tee, and knee high hooker boots. It's sort of a naughty English school girl look.
It can be degrading, I know, but I'm truly torn at this point. The job seems fun. The uniform isn't that bad. It's going to be interesting from a societal experimentation aspect as well. It's not like I'll be a Hooters girl. Plus, I think everyone needs to work in food service to really understand what they're getting when they eat out, and my time as an undergraduate working at a non-professional job is running out. It's this summer or never, I suppose.
Plus, working in a bar almost definitely ensures free drinks, right? ;)

So did you take this job? I'm curious, because I'm trying to think of the male version of that uniform...maybe plaid tights with a codpiece?
I definitely agree about working in foodservice--it helps you understand who NOT to piss off when you go to the restaurant.
