I was working for a Reception centre about 10 years ago. One of the other waiters turned up for her shift wearing blue slaks, short sleve white shirt and slides with two gold bars. I asked her if she was a CPL or doing an instructor rating or simillar. Nope.......she was working part time on a river cruise boat on the Yarra River!!!
Embarrassing???
I flew a charter once where I was invited to come into town with my pax and spend the time with them at their function. During the post function nibblies, I was asked (by one of the patrons) which one of the coach busses I drove............OMG!!!......how embarrashment!!!!!...........
