Yesterday's installment of the Tiger Woods Saga was a cautionary tale to those seeking a career change to inamorata of a professional athlete. It ain't as plush as it seems.
One of Tiger's "friends" gave up a promising career as a Perkins Restaurant hostess (Tiger eats at Perkins? Maybe he was there for the Tuesday dinnertime appearance of Barney the Dinosaur.) only to find herself following him on the golf tour by flying coach on Southwest Airlines. Of course, Tiger paid for her airfare, but one would expect a man earning tens of millions of dollars per year would at least upgrade her to first class on a non-discount airline.
She also revealed that Tiger treated her to a Subway chicken wrap before one of their trysts. Even impoverished high school kids hoping to get lucky would spring for a "$5 foot-long".
It's a well-known fact that the career of a Perkins hostess is a short one. Beauty fades and assigning an equal number of customers to each wait station can be mentally taxing. But to give up delighting kids with crayons and a color-on placemat for the middle seat in the rear of a plane and a Subway chicken wrap is just not worth it even if your "bags fly free".
Perkins hostesses of the world, stand your ground!
