| 2. | Service Industry Night | ||
|
1. AKA SIN. Usually a Sunday or Monday night where Bars will give drink specials to those who work in the "Service Industry," and by service industry they only mean other Bartenders, Barbacks, Waiters, Waitresses. Customer Service reps, and McDonalds drive thru workers are not considered part of this crowds service industry. SIN only occurs in areas with high concentration of Hipsters. 2.A night in which the weekend bar tender critiques and comments on the drink pouring of the day time or Sunday/Monday bartender. When you get done from taking customer complaints at your job with Direct TV make sure to stop by Service Industry Night at the bar... O wait somehow I forgot that only bartenders get discount at service industry night.

| 4. | Waiter Butt | ||
|
Service industry related buttock chafing as a result of humid and hot conditions whilst waiting tables. Scientific documentation of waitress butt has yet to be proven, as females are less likely to discuss such an ailment.
Add'l info: Bartenders don't get waiter butt, since they don't do as much walking. Sucks to be a waiter, eh? "Have you seen Dave? He just got double sat."
"I just saw him in the kitchen getting some corn starch." "Oh, he's been walking like a duck all night. "Waiter butt will do that to you." ------------------------- (snapping) "WAITER! Can we get some more free rolls?" "I'm baking some in my ass (due to the heat of waiter butt). They'll be done in two minutes." |

| 6. | Whore's Dilemma | ||
|
The business issues related to not demanding payment up front and by allowing a customer to set a price after services are rendered.
more...
A classic red flag in the services industry. In sex work this tends to be more of an issue for semi-pros and "friendly gals" looking to pick up some extra cash than it is for genuine mercenary hookers. The phrase is commonly applied to any service business where there is no product that can be returned (house cleaning, tree surgery, psychotherapy, hot dog vending, midwifery, meth dealing, lap dancing, wedding singing, etc) From a customer perspective the value of a service is worth less after it has been delivered. Being asked to do something on the basis that you will be paid according to the customer's view of the value afterwards. A man in a titty bar will pay $300 for a ten minute hands-off pants-up lap dance after three vodka-redbulls and an hour or two of watching T&A. If the same dancer meets him after work instead and screws him at a motel and asks for a tip afterwards he'll notice that she has a caesarean scar and that her boobs are a little lopsided and she wouldn't let him touch her hair and her teeth are kinda yellow and besides... she liked it too. and offer her $50 bux. (conversely, getting a customer to set a price before service and pre-pay or contract to pay that price can often benefit the service provider. People tend to inflate the value of services they hope to acquire) |
