I worked at a family owned BBQ restaurant located right off the interstate in a busy area. We were the home of many regulars, but to even more travelers with a cheap hotel in the parking lot over.
My boss was the typical sleazy older man, but with a kind heart. He had arrangements with certain waitresses, these were the ones who would come and go.
Even though I knew about these affairs, it never really affected me. My boss always treated me like a lady and with respect, with a few comments here and there on how beautiful I am and how he would pay me any day to dance for him. But, it truly felt all in fun.
At the time I was in a broken marriage that was collapsing more day by day. I wasn’t trying to meet anyone, have sex, or honestly save my marriage. All I was focused on at the time was saving money.
I worked during the day cleaning houses and the restaurant at night. I could have made more money working at a more high end restaurant, but it was flexible with my schedule and I really liked the atmosphere.
