That's right, we have to buy all of that from Hooters: tank, shorts, nylons, sock, pouch, shoes. That totals to just over $70 a uniform. Seriously. Now, I'm not having to buy all parts of the uniform at once obviously, but it's still expensive. I probably buy nylons an average of once a week, maybe every two if I'm lucky. At four dollars a pop that shit adds up. But I guess I signed up for it, right?Saucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07533032399795009120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-5177938414494714282010-06-13T10:26:46.517-04:002010-06-13T10:26:46.517-04:00I'm on the east coast too.

This weather SUCKS right now. <br /><br />The kicker at my restaurant is that we wear short-sleeve polos.... no matter how cold it is in the wintertime. We're not allowed to wear a black long-sleeve underneath, nothing. I get so fucking cold at time I stand in the grill line trying to warm up. <br /><br />And ironically enough, my word verification is "i caring"JumpIthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679491498657927023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-34651824514214900392010-06-13T10:22:49.325-04:002010-06-13T10:22:49.325-04:00www.pakhaxors.comwww.pakhaxors.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-41765720279318934322010-06-13T09:58:27.713-04:002010-06-13T09:58:27.713-04:00Hey Bitchy,

I've been a restaurant groupie for ...years!! And now I've got like four kids in food service! Shit!<br /><br />What the suits never seem to realize is that the front-of-house "glad rags" that they make the waitstaff drape themselves in are an important part of their marketing message. Say what you want about someplace like Hooters, for example, but at least their marketing message is consistent. I swear <b>if I see another cookie-cutter khakis-and-polo uniform I'm gonna puke!</b> Tux shirts and black pants or skirts are almost as bad. <br /><br />Positioning is what it's all about in business to make your product offering stand out. Even the simplicity of whites and a contrasting apron, like red, green, or even orange, says more than a stupid-ass polo shirt! Don't even get me started on jeans and a logo'd tee-shirt! Can we tell the staff from the customers?<br /><br />Anyhoo, I enjoy your blog a lot and congrats on Blog of Note.<br /><br />Bdrumr56Bdrumr56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-56340192377709332262010-06-13T09:38:04.595-04:002010-06-13T09:38:04.595-04:00Okay.
