As yall know, I recently graduated from a state university with a degree in communications and a Public Relations minor. I applied to several large firms within my industry, but they told me I needed more work experience, and tons of human-2-human interaction. I applied for a position in the Marketing + Branding department of Chili’s, but they told me I needed to start ‘from the ground up’ within their corporate hierarchy.
I became a hostess at an upscale Chili’s brand which they are beta testing in several U.S. markets. I work at one in Phoenix (Scottsdale), Arizona. Being a hostess here is amazing…even the uniform is a little bit stylish. I have met tons of amazing people. This Chili’s is great because we don’t serve food to the poors. We are looking to be a place where business men can wine and dine their mistresses, and seem ‘rich’ while still eating variations of our original Chili’s menu.
I’ve made some of my best friends at my job, so we’re able to pre-party while we work, then go out and get mad crunk afterwards. Sometimes it sucks when men tell us that we smell like hamburger meat and fried foods, but I think after a while, they start 2 like it. Our bartender is sooo sweet, and always makes us the best fruity drink remixes.
Our signature dish
Ultimately, my job as a Chili’s hostess has been a positive experience, and I believe that I am using my degree to its full potential. I am really becoming an ambassador of the Chili’s brand. I love the girls at my job, and one of the most positive parts of our job is that we have an iMac computer to share at the hostess station. We get to huddle around, and look at facebook/myspace messages, and comment on which men look ‘hot’ and which men are ‘ugly.’ I couldn’t ask for a better group of girls–not catty like other bitches.
I am looking forward to my career. I don’t wanna make a ton of money–I just want to be happy, and that just means socializing with people who look like me, getting buzzed, hooking up, and talking about life/drama. Sorta like The Hills, except in real life, u can’t get glamorous jobs like those girls. Just have to do the best with what you’ve got, party, and travel to party spots around the world (Mexico) for ur vacay.

@anonymous,
like i said before… but i been away from the internets….
my email is jf827504@ohio.edu
i let it be known because i’m serious.
i’ll soon start a website, a sort of ‘anti-hipsterrunoff’
the reason for this startup is simple: carles tries to fit into too many age groups, consumer projections, etc.
“going to prom” “design school” etc., he tries to appeal to too many groups to be in and ‘alt’ / etc / whatever the word this moment is for cool,
he wants to be similar to the ‘masked dj / exotic / unkown is cooler / ‘it’s not about me’ aesthetic, so he doesn’t let us know who he truly is, his age, etc.
i’m not about that. i’d like to consider myself more real.
let’s all do it together.

At the upscale Chili’s you got epaulettes and fake tits all over the place. The perfect kind of joint for a certain kind of guy to take his mistress for a night of knocking back artichoke dip and whispering sweet little lies to one another.
Scottsdale. Fucking Arizona, man. Too hot to be California and too white to be Texas. No place for a freelance Brand Development/Social Networking consultant to land any action.
Wyoming maybe. The natural gas industry could do with a little indie cred. I headed north.

One day, when I am in art school (or private college), I will go visit my suburban past by eating at Chili’s. There I will meet a hot “mainstrm broad” (via above pic of myriad chicks) who will want an authentic altBro like me because I am relevant and give a shit about things, unlike the dumb jocks that populate the suburban landscape that has been bestowed upon her. Feel like after getting to know me she will either view her job at Chili’s in extreme irony or migrate to an authentic alt neighborhood in the city to become a barista at an authentic coffee shop (via independent, locally owned establishments).

@Funky Rutabaga, how can a “suburban landscape” be “bestowed upon” someone? Somebody gave her a suburban landscape as a gift? Also, how are there “myriad chicks” in the picture above? There are only 4.
I bestow upon you the title of “Worst Pseudo-Literate Commenter of the Week” (for myriad reasons).

What the hell is this? Looks like a Madame Tussauds exhibition on American Domestic Animals. In Belgium we don’t have places where you can see fake people. I mean, I think we should. Over here it’s just the same old “granma with huge knockers serving your fries with wurst” no fun @ all. Might move to the States of United whores, sounds like phun.
