It all started when one of my big travel customers invited me to a happy hour at one of his businesses, an upscale carwash in a nearby town. He and his wife were great customers, booking many trips to the Caribbean and Mexico through me, and the carwash was on the way home so I decided to stop in for a drink or two. When I got there the sign said closed but I noticed several cars there so I walked to the door to be greeted by his wife. Her husband was behind the counter turned bar and greeted me, asking me what I would like. I noticed some of my favorite white wines in the cooler and easily accepted the wine. The small lobby had a few women also drinking various drinks and were very friendly introducing themselves.
The owner offered me a special after hours carwash for free. I was curious about what an after hours carwash was, when his wife took me by the arm and led me down a hallway to the bays where I quickly noticed the girls washing the cars. She told me the men talking to them were mostly the husbands or boyfriends of the girls I had just met in the lobby. She again offered to get my car washed, but said it might take a little longer than normal, since two of the regular car washers were out sick. And since the ones there were working late, she and her husband were giving them $500. "$500 dollars for a couple of hours??" I asked.
She said yes, more than their normal $200 for the night. I jokingly but half seriously asked her if they had any openings. She said they did and I could work tonight if I wanted to. She didn't think I was serous but took me out to the bays and showed me around. I also noticed the girls were in various states of very sexy attire, cut off jeans, bikini tops, and thin t-shirts, all braless. One of the customers quickly noticed me and said,"If she is working tonight, I'll give her a $200 tip!" I soon realized none of this was a joke.
I was too nervous and said "Thanks, but I'm not too sure", with a smile on my face, and went back to get my third glass of wine.
