WTF restaurant industry

Posted By on Mon, Mar 26, 2018 at 4:59 PM

I once worked at a local eatery for several months where I thought myself valued by staff and customers. One day, my female employer took me into her office and told me I "wasn't here to get a boyfriend" (yes, I am very friendly and therefore naturally flirty, and yes, my boss was neither, and likely jealous). I went home crying (I was young). The VERY next day, she gathered the entire female staff and said we need to wear more lipstick and "spice up" our looks (for more business). I GTFO. Double standards, bullying, general drama...So glad to be out of restaurant industry. —Lipstick H8r
