Waitresses, Waiter To Pose Nude For Website

ATLANTA, GA—On the Job, a local print publication which recently launched its commercial web site, is attempting to promote both versions by showing servers posing nude on the web. The company plans this as an ongoing format that will premier February 1.

"I'm really excited about the whole idea," said Peggy Abraham, a waitress/bartender at R.P. McMurphy in Atlanta. "I can't believe they picked me out of all the other girls who came out. I told all my family and friends, and I even went out and bought some really nice news clothes for the photo shoot."

Abraham was one of 23 females, and a lone male, selected for the pictorial series. Models were chosen based upon a number of criteria, including style, presence, grace, poise, personality, charisma, ability to contribute in a team environment, check average, sales-per-guest ratio, amount of add-on sales, amount of voids, number of walkouts, shift preparation, side work, average hours worked per week and, most importantly, number of guest requests.

Molly Boggs, a full-time student with a 4.0 GPA at Georgia Tech and part-time waitress at Ram's Horn, was another girl picked for the layout. "We really didn't have that much time to get ready for the selection process. I think we heard about it like two weeks ago. I had to crash diet just to get in a little better shape, but still I think I lost, like, 10 pounds already.

"My actual photo session isn't for a little while, though," she said, "so hopefully I can lose another 50 or 60 pounds before then."

Possibly even more excited than the ladies was Ryan Beamer, a waiter at O’Sullivans in Atlanta and the only male selected. Though the series of photos was originally supposed to include only women, Beamer, who is number one in sales and has by far the most requests in the restaurant, met all of the criteria and even surpassed most of the females in many of the categories.

"We thought it was understood that this was only for females," said project manager, Bruce Sillio. "But when that Ryan what's-his-name started in on how it was discrimination, and basically put up a hissy fit...Jesus Christ, what a whiner. Anyway, we kinda had to let him do this.

"Should be fine, though. Most of these girls look like they're packing more than him."

When it was implied that the initial selection process had been altered for him because he displays more than one man's fair share of feminine traits, Beamer had mixed reactions.

"Whatever. You know what it is? J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y...jealousy, that's all. I even heard people saying that I'm gay. Can you believe that? Again...jealousy. I got that reputation when I was younger. I swear to God, you go down on a couple guys after too many drinks, and forever you're labeled.

"Just ask my friend Calvin. He'll tell you," said Beamer. "Calvin said I couldn't possibly be gay because I'm so horrible in bed."
