Stripper–Turned–Waitress Can’t Leave Former Job Behind
She glides around the dining room like silk wafting on the wind. She’s been known to strip off her shirt and bra to combat the heat in the kitchen.
The most recent addition to the Red Robin wait team, Paula Roche (also known as Mystique and Sable), who spent the past five years dance at many upscale gentlemen’s clubs, is discovering that old habits die hard.
“We absolutely love with Paula around,” explained Red Robin director, Ted Sunds, who seemed to be having issues adjusting his wedding group. “It’s is really a joy to welcome her as the newest addition to the Red Robin family.
“Your guests love her, too. She’s been, in just a brief while, our most asked server simply by far. We’ve even set up an exclusive room on her to accommodate all of her regulars, who, incidentally, are usually a pretty wealthy and los Angeles Strippers folks. Who would have guessed the mayor would dine regularly at Red Robin? Ha. Take that Chili’s.
“Along with the morale about that place has gone through the roof”
On any particular night, Roche waits as much as 75 guests,” and demands the help of that which amounts to her personal team: 2 bussers, two food/drink runners, a bartender, and her own floor manager. Along with besides the 6′ 3″, 275-pound Bruno Iafrate–used by Roche and required to uphold the doorway to make sure that the VIPs remember their dinner manners –her entire support team is womanly.
“I’ve worked with Sable earlier,” explained Envy, one of Roche’s runners. “In reality we functioned in The Flashing Chest and Booby Knockers together, and also we were working the same shift that nighttime Knockers was closed down because of the recent laws. It had been kind of a drag, but I will see today that things happen for reasons. This is a nice change of pace, and may truly be a gig that is rewarding .”
Judging from the rolled up bills safely tucked in her currency belt/garter (newly added to her Crimson Robin uniform as a result of Sunds), Roche & Company are already reaping the rewards. She works four nights a week, coming on the floor at 5 pm, and again for meal sittings in 6:30 and 8:00, although exact amounts aren’t available, it’s estimated that she attracts home anywhere from $500-$1000 per night.
“We do okay,” explained Envy. “Sable is in high demand as of this particular place. It’s nothing just like the other places where the contest had been cutthroat, and also girls had to immediately launch their territory and then guard it against the wolves. In contrast to Booby’s, these additional girls are child’s play”
“The male employees love Sable. . . .Paula,” said Sunds. “She seems to possess a natural bond with all the inventors, and so they’ll do anything because of her. However, others–both the female hosts and bartenders–uh uh. . .not so much.”
Together with all of her small groupies. I presumed this is a restaurant. What happened to suggestive selling, and sexy food , and all the other Red Robin serving procedures we were trained to follow? She’s a prima donna with her own schedule, and she’s got management wrapped around her g string. It’s disgusting how that they treat her, like she has some type of celebrity. I’ve been here six years, and it took me two to get my preferred program. She has been here what, a month? It’s garbage.”
“And she always needs help,” said waitress Tanya Stearns,”but if you’re say, helping take her out food, you may only move up to the door of this room. You can’t go in. It’s similar to this law, and naturally there’s always CoCo, the talking ape, to make sure.
“She completely speaks down for youpersonally, as you are this piece-of-crap waitress and she is above you and also gets additional income. . .oh, you know what I mean. It’s like we’re simply there to help and everyone comes into watch her. . . .anyway, the people don’t seem to have a issue with her. She speaks exactly the same means in their mind and so they eat that crap up. And Ted. . .oh my own God, Ted. He is always turning up the heat inside the kitchen and freezing outside the dining space, also he’s always messing with the music everywhere she comes on the floor.
“If his wife could just see him”
“to begin with,” said Sunds defensively,”Paula has single-handedly created a new definition for’suggestive selling.’
“2…I am maybe not wed,” he added, discreetly tucking off his wedding band. .my wife does not know me.”
Roche was unavailable for comment. The only way she would grant any sort of access, an interview or otherwise, was if your celebration made a dinner reservation within her section, and also the earliest available reservation is for a week from Thursday.
