The other day I was with two of my
friends, Hannah and Lexi. Hannah works for a club in downtown New Haven. She
works every Thursday and Saturday as a shot girl at a club downtown. While we
were hanging out, Hannah told us that her boss had said that they needed help
finding girls to help with the shots and Lexi and I volunteered. I wasn’t sure
what the job was going to be like because I had never done any kind of work
like this. Hannah told us to look cute and be ready to get the bus at 7:50. As
we were getting ready, I was getting nervous because this was going to force me
out of my comfort zone and make me talk to people I didn’t know. I’m usually
not the kind of person to start a conversation with random people but I knew
that it would be something that was good for me.
When we got to the club, the
bartender told us what we would have to do. Basically sell 20 shots for $2 and
then pay them back $30 for the tray of what we made. I figured it wouldn’t be
too hard of a job because all my friends would be there to help me out. When more
and more people started showing up I realized that being a shot girl wasn’t as
easy as it looked. People were not as nice as I had hoped they would be and
were standoffish when I walked up to them and asked if they wanted to buy
shots. At the end of the night I had made my money, paid the bartender, and met
a few nice people. I had gotten over my “fear” of talking to new people and I
was beginning to feel more comfortable introducing myself to people I had never
met or talked to.
