IMHO, she’s probably doing this less as resons of “personal comfort” and more for reasons of “personal thrill”.
And, if pressed to wear undergarments about the waist and crotch, she might very well choose the tiniest of thongs and justify by saying “But I’m being FORCED to wear them.”
I used to work for Public Health as a restaurant inspector. I also had to inspect bars and strip clubs. Strippers weren’t allowed on area that may be food contact surfaces. Bars were OK if there wasn’t food served. (Strippers couldn’t be behind the bar, however.) If food was served, they had to stay on stage or on platforms, but weren’t allowed to dance on the bar.
The rule used to enforce this (in Alabama) was 420-3-22-.11(1)(d) *Employees shall maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness and shall conform to good hygienic practices during all working periods in the food establishment. * Naked + food is not considered good hygienic practice.
Why? Because I’m going into a restaurant to eat. If I want to ogle naked women, I’ll go to a strip bar where the climate is more controlled, and I know what to expect. I’d much rather ogle my husband though.
You get a grip, just because you rather like the thought of catching a glimpse of your cute waitress’ snatch as she serves the table beside you, doesn’t mean that everyone else does. I personally don’t want to be used to fuel someone else’s fetish like that, I don’t like being used by others so they can get their jollies. That’s what the person mentioned in the OP is doing IMO.
It’s not hygenic. DeVena explained it well. You’ve never worn a dress that short, I have and preserved my dignity and ladylike reputation, too. It took concious effort to do so, and a good deal of careful work. It IS my business when some floozy’s bare crotch is at plate level to me.
I’d much rather go to a place where I know care is being taken to make sure my drinks/food aren’t contaminated, and where the displays are more forthright and honest, than go into a place like the OP works in. At least most strippers are direct when displaying themselves, with none of this underhanded crap. I respect that it’s (apparently, inferring from your posts here) titillating you to think of such a situation, and I ask that you respect the fact that it isn’t for me.
I’ll add, that there have been times when I’ve seen some beautiful woman walk by, paused, turned to my husband, and said “Wow, if I were a guy I’d be all over her!”. I’m not some dried up sexless husk, but I do like social boundaries to be respected. I’m not going to be discussing the nature of my bowel movement at the dinner table, and I sure don’t want to see some strange woman’s snatch as she serves the table beside me. If I want to look at that, I’ll rent a porno, or go to a strip bar. I’m not asking too much, I’m asking for courtesy and care to be taken by my food servers. The waitress in the OP is showing neither.
A question for the ladies responding to this thread. (Or the men, for that matter)
Ever went commando? Yes? Raise your hands. Ever went commando to school, parties, etc?
OMG, just last Saturday night, you might have left secretions on the counter of the bathroom at the club, in the dorm, your best friends house, or gawd ferbid, at a food place.
Or even at work. However, you have no problem because nobody noticed apparently.
Yes, I know this is a workplace issue, and agree standards should be set, but come on people.
I understand the hygienic issues, but the self-righteous indignation from some of you is sounding like the sex police.
Actually, I don’t have much to say on the subject of Fanny’s fanny. But I do feel that constantly sitting on the counter, nude and spread or fully clothed, is unhygenic. Where food goes should be kept as clean as possible. Period.
No self-righteous indignation from me, Klaatu, but I have never gone commando, nor do I ever plan on doing it. Is it THAT weird that most people don’t want to see some snatch when they go to eat? If I wanted to see snatch while I eat I would sit naked at my house with a mirror and chomp on some pork and beans.
If a naked fanny left secretions on a chair, couch, or toilet…so what? Secretions on a food-prep surface? That’s nasty.
And let’s say that when she pops her rear on the counter, somehow, magically, her short shirt covers all flesh and absorbs all secretions. Still, she’s recently pressed that rear on her car seat or the floor. Leaned against a wall; sat on her stoop. Food and drink workers are expected to wash their hands frequently, but she probably isn’t washing her nethers throughout the day, much less the fabric of her skirt. You might as well put the food or the silverware directly onto that nasty old public-transport bus seat.
Matters of secretion aside, This is a place where people of all Age and gender frequently patronize. Even if a small percentage of people get their jollies when they are flashed unexpectedly, I don’t want to have to explain to my 5yr old Daughter, (who’s hieght is more appropriate for such a view) that it’s wrong but nothing is being done about it.
I’m teaching my daughter that there is nothing wrong with the human body, HOWEVER, There are certain boundaries of appropriateness that are set by the public standard of morals and decency. And for a 5 year old to see that it’s happening and not being dealt with minimizes the issue. This is not an Adult entertainment venue, it’s a cafe.
For those of you who think it’s no big deal, think of it this way: If a patron in a restaurant had a laptop and were viewing upskirt pictures (even discreetly), they would be violating public decency laws simply because it stands a chance of being seen by someone other than it was intended for.
In this case, unless otherwise stated by her, it is not intended for anyones viewing, so it was not even intended for those who have inadvertently seen it.
This Girl Needs to be confronted and told that if she choses not to wear undergarments, she must wear something more suited to keeping it discreet, like shorts or a longer skirt.
I assume this is not an “adult dining establishment.” My children are four and five and FACINATED by butts. They also have nothing approaching inside voices. And they are at the age where we are trying very hard to teach them “private parts are private and shouldn’t be shown to or touched by strangers - or even people you know unless Mom or Dad says its OK” so they are less easy victims of a preditor. So if my kids get flashed, I’m going to have several problems. One is that they will annouce in a loud voice noticable to the ENTIRE restaurant “MOM, YOU CAN SEE HER BUTT! SHE ISN’T WEARING UNDERWEAR!” The second is that she will undermine my hard work of teaching about keeping private parts private and proper attire (my kids also love to strip nude and have a naked parade through the house. I want them to be comfortable with their bodies, but they don’t need to strip nude and do the naked parade around company).
I have a dream today… I envision a world where cute young ladies from sea to shining sea would feel free to… FEEL FREE!
Would be free to let it ALL hang out. Free from the tyanny and oppression of undergarments. Young ladies (cute ones, preferably) should be able to walk around FREE of the encumberance forced upon them by a fascist, male dominated society!
Coochies everywhere should be able to breathe the air of FREEDOM! Not be stifled by tricot, and/or cotton!
OMG!
:smack:
CG your manager needs to take Commando Girl aside and tell her in clear, consise language that 1) sitting on counters is verboden and 2) wearing undies is necessary at work. If CG is that dizty she needs to be told and given a deadline by which she must comply with standards of conduct/dress. And bounced if she doesn’t.
I had a friend who had to take a part-time job stripping and also worked part-time at a Subway sandwich shop. She knew better than to “not” dress for the shop job. However, a customer of both establishments had the stupidity to say, “Hey, didn’t you take it all off last night? Do it again.” at the wrong place. And she decked him… I believe the manager of the sandwich shop agreed with her but had to fire her b/c assaulting stupid customers is still a no-no. :rolleyes:
Most dress codes are vague enough to enforce as is. Apropriate attire requires underwear with dresses. Even Hooters has an obvious dress code.
Without going too far into the land of ewww, this isn’t a Playboy shoot. She is there for 8 hrs doing the things all people must do to keep from exploding.
If she’s a flasher maybe she can get a job as a prison guard or a Sharon Stone double (some day I’ll have to actually see that movie).
Now I hate to bring this up but a lot of people are suggesting this kind of action. Who, exactly, is going to check that she’s complying with the new rules on wearing underwear?
I won’t tax the hamsters, but there was a thread not too long ago about a school that carried out underwear inspections at a dance to make sure girls weren’t wearing thongs - provoking appropriate outrage!
I guess you could make the rule and then just ‘keep an eye out’ but even that’s more than a little dangerous in my opinion.
