This restaurant is known for nightly bands andgreat entertainment. The usual uniform for waitresses is jeans or similar long pants and a"Sandtrap" T-shirt.Business is always good during the spring and summer months while everyone isvacationing, but during the winter months there is a steady decline. In an effort to improvebusiness during the off-season months, Fred, the Sandtrap's owner, tried a number of newstrategies and gimmicks to increase patronage. A past plan was to include extended happyhour specials and complimentary forger foods to customers. His latest successful strategy isto require all waitresses to wear low-cut and tight-fitting shirts and very short shorts.Sales have improved with the new dress, but there have also been some problems. Manymale customers make lewd and abusive remarks to the waitresses, particularly after havingseveral drinks. Lucy is tired of being abused by customers' physical and verbal actions, soshe consults Don, the manager, and tells him that she will no longer wear the skimpy outfit.Don tells her to wear the revealing attire for the present.Now, in view of her complaints, Don has to decide what he is going to do. He is reluctant toallow Lucy to go back to the old uniform since he is convinced that the new, revealingclothing is drawing customers that the restaurant badly needs.Author: Dr. Marilyn M.
