The Laid-Bare Hotel.

The Laid-Back Hotel was considered to be one of the nicest hotels in the beachside town of Shoreside. it had always been proud of it's professional appearance, extensive facilities and stunning views of the beachfront. during the spring and summer holidays, they always saw a flood of people swarming through the doors of the hotel. every guest was treated to comfortable rooms, stunning views and access to all the facilities in the building. it was always the first hotel everyone saw when they pass by the seafront.

usually, the hotel was thriving during the summer holidays, but not this year. sure, they still had customers coming through the doors, but there wasn't nearly enough to fund the hotel's resources. it was noticeable one night when the manager of the hotel, Herbert Ronson, entered the dining area and noticed that over half of the tables were empty. "this is not normal" he said to the bartender, a young ginger girl called Amy. he always hired females to work at the hotel, not because of appeal to male customers, not because it cost less, but because the staff he had were all reliable and hardworking.

after seeing the half-empty dining room, Herbert decided that he had to do something drastic. something that would cut the costs of running the hotel and also boost the number of customers that came to the hotel. after looking over the costs, Herbert realised that most of the hotels funds went into the uniforms of the staff. "well, we could always turn to cheaper alternatives. or..." he looked over the costs again, and smiled. "that's it!" he cried, shooting up from his desk. "we can reduce costs by getting rid of the uniforms!" then a second thought came to his mind. 'they sure won't like this. what if they leave?' he contemplated this for a moment, before deciding on something. "benefits." he concluded. he set about planning his plans.

Herbert called a meeting for all the staff, and they all gathered in the dining room. "thanks for coming everyone" herbert announced. "first off, I want to thank you all for coming to this meeting. as you know, this year has been a little quieter than usual." the staff nodded in agreement. "so, I have a solution." "well, go on." amy asked. "I have decided that, in order ot save on the running costs of the hotel, I have decided to scrap the uniforms." the girls looked at each other in surprise. "what, we get to wear our own stuff?" "no, policy still states you have to wear company-supplied clothes during work hours." some of the girls gasped, and others muttered amongst each other, "I understand this sounds a little strange, but I can assure you this will make the hotel easier to operate, and potentially boost customer." the girls all looked at each other, still unsure. "if you're gonna do that, you'd better pay us more!" one of the waitresses retorted. "that's the plan. anyone who opts to work in the nude will receive a 50% pay increase" herbert announced triumphantly. the girls all chattered excitedly. "well, surely, it'd be easier to filter the system in." Herbert looked at amy with a curious look. "y'know, like a trial system. we get one group of employees to try it out first, then we try it with the other staff if it works." the other staffmembers nodded in agreement. "ok, good plan. so, who's willing to go first?"
