Our college social site Playboy U doesn’t take off when school is out of session. We asked Playmates and Playboy U-sers to tell us about their experiences working summer jobs. Here’s what Playmates Pilar Lastra and Alison Waite unloaded on us...
Pilar:
“You know those ads that say, 'Managers needed, great pay, rock-and-roll atmosphere?' I answered one of those in Los Angeles, and it turns out that this company's idea of 'rock-and-roll' lifestyle meant selling paintings out of the back of my car.
They gave me 10 paintings and said if me and this girl that they placed me with sold a painting, we would get $10 apiece. We were supposed to just drive up to businesses and make sales.
It was a mess. We were escorted out of a few buildings by security, and the girl had us take a detour to meet with her parole officer over her DWI. At the end of the day we sold seven of the paintings, although to make the last sale the other girl gave an attorney my number, and he didn't stop calling me until recently.”
“I have had my fair share of funny experiences at summer jobs, but working at a lingerie store when I was 16 takes the cake. My job was to measure people to be fitted for new bras. (Mind you, I had no clue what I was doing, so I would simply ask them what they normally wear and would go up or down a cup depending on my own non-professional judgment.) We were supposed to use measuring tape, so I would usually have to wrap it around the lady, and that was always uncomfortable. I would try to avoid brushing up on their boobs, because some of the ladies had some rather large cans! I really was unqualified for this job, and the fact that my employer trusted a 16-year-old to dictate what size of intimate apparel a woman should wear is laughable. I think that was when and where my boob envy began and could be why to this day I would name 'boobs' as a favorite body part. We used to get free bras working there, and I would always pick out bras in a 34D even though I was only a B cup size. I was determined to get boobs one day, and luckily it all worked out!”

Wow, the story about you working in a lingerie shop when you were 16 years old. I think that would be borderline questionable practice and illegal in some states. Because due to the adult nature of the material and that you weren't 18 years old, being underage would put your former employer at risk.
That wasn't just a weird job, but sick too.
