As a hostess, I am in a unique position to observe the behavior of my customers. I’ve been working in the bar and restaurant industry for a few years now and I have seen countless customers come and go, all with their own stories and motivations.
It’s a shot glass that is typically filled with juice and costs $20 a glass. I always accompany the customer when they order the drink and I usually try to convince them to buy 10 to 20 shots. The commission I receive can range from 40% to 80% depending on my monthly sales target.
At first, I thought it was a harmless way to make a bit of extra money. But then I started to realize that the men who were buying these drinks were not doing it out of pleasure. They were desperate. They were clearly trying to fill some kind of void in their lives or to numb some kind of pain.
I would start to see the same faces come in night after night, the same desperate eyes looking for a girl. It was heartbreaking. I began to understand that I was preying on these men’s desperation. I was taking advantage of their pain and suffering and profiting from it.
I felt guilty and ashamed. I knew I had to stop, but I was also scared. I was scared of losing my job and the commission I was making. So I kept selling the drinks and kept preying on these desperate men.
But then something changed. I started to realize that these men were not just targets for my commission. They were people with stories and struggles and pain. They were people who deserved my compassion and understanding.
So I started to talk to them. I asked them about their lives and what brought them here. I listened to their stories and offered whatever advice and comfort I could. I even started to drink with them.
By doing this, I realized that I was not just a hostess. I was a person who could make a difference in someone else’s life. I was no longer preying on desperate men, I was helping them.
It’s been a few months since I started doing this and I can honestly say that I am a different person. I am not just a hostess, I am a friend. I am not preying on desperation, I am offering hope.
No matter what industry you work in, it’s important to remember that everyone has a story. We all have struggles and pain and it’s important to be compassionate and understanding. We should never take advantage of someone else’s pain. Instead, we should try to offer them comfort and hope. That’s how we can make a difference in the lives of others.
