The wanted ads havenât changed since yesterday, which pisses me off. I ball up the paper and throw it toward the trash can. âGod damn it, what am I going to do,â I say out loud.
âWhatâs wrong pretty girl? Is there anything I can do to help you?â A feminine voice scares me, making me jump. I was so wrapped up in finding a job that I didnât see a customer standing in front of the window.
âUnless you know of a local place that needs someone to cover the night shift, Iâm afraid not.â I slump forward. Iâm at a loss for what to do. Taking the money from Parker would afford me more time to search for a job, but the thought of doing that makes my skin crawl. Iâve never taken money from anyone. I really donât want to start now.
The girl, who looks no older than me, places her hands on the counter and leans forward toward the glass. âActually, I do. The place I work at is always hiring people. The pay is alright, but the tips are where we make the most money.â
Iâve never been a waitress before, but the sound of the fantastic tips sheâs talking about makes me willing to try it. âIs the restaurant in town? I swear I havenât seen anything about one hiring.â
A laugh falls from her lips. âHoney, I donât sling drinks. I work at Mickâs. Itâs about a twenty-minute drive from here.â
My saliva gets caught in my throat, and I start coughing, trying to get it down. Iâve heard of Mickâs. Everyone around here has. Itâs a strip club outside of town, bordering on the state line. I hit my chest several times to try to stop the coughing. My eyes start to water, but soon the coughing passes, and the saliva goes down.
âI take it youâve heard of the place.â A smile spreads on her face as she raps her fake nails on the counter.
âYes, I have, but I donât think I can get up in front of a bunch of horny men and take my clothes off.â Just the thought of what Iâm describing makes me feel dirty. Iâm not one to shame someone who does that for a living, but⦠I canât do that, can I?
âWe have waitresses as well. We had a few quit the other day, actually. You donât have to take your clothes off, but you will have to wear the uniform. The tips arenât as good as us dancers get, but it has to be better than what you make here.â She waves her hand around.
âWhat does the uniform look like?â Serving drinks is something I can do, and I have to be realistic here. Nothing in this town is hiring.
She walks over to a dryer and opens it, pulling out two scrap pieces of fabric. They are bright pink and hurt my eyes when I look directly at them. âThis is from one of the girls who just quit. It looks like it would fit you perfectly.
