Professionalism is key

"Walk the restaurant and find something to do!" That's all that the managers tell the servers and they constantly talk to one another. It's dead season. This means that from July up until the end of October, restaurants are slow. People are recuperating from back to school and getting their schedules back on track. Therefore, servers have to find a way to make it through the hardship. 

So as I continue to talk the restaurant, looking for something to distract me from wanting to fall asleep standing up (been done before), I hear my coworkers talking about something sounding scandalous. 

"Did you see her?" "Damn, she's so hot." "I hope they hire her." 

Didn't talk too long to realize that after glancing at the cocktail area, there was the girl that they were all cat-calling at. She was sitting down at table 503. Blonde, shoulder-length hair. Heavy makeup with bright purple eye shadow. Her top only covered her front area, barely her cleavage. Her jeans were those purposely washed out and ripped around the knees. As she is filling out the application, I can hear my managers laughing and giggling. 

They continuously kept asking if she was being serious. Thinking that she would be getting hired after coming to a job interview dressed unprofessionally. They then proceeded her way when it looked like she was done with the interview. Everyone deserves a second chance, so they gave her another to come back tomorrow, dressed more professional. 

Safe to say she did not get hired. And not because of her previous attire. She was not hired after she was asked if she had experience in the food industry and was able to carry a tray. Lets just say that the tray did a back flip in the middle of the dinning room.
