The Guest Stars of
"Raisins"
by Wild Willie Westwood
Raisin Girls, and Bouncer
Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, Ferrari, Maury
Mercedes seems to run the operation at Raisins, being head waitress. She greets the customers as they enter the restaurant and orients new employees like Ferrari on the Raisins way of making their customers feel at home. Lexus is the Raisins girl who takes a liking to Butters, but only because he looks like an easy mark. His feelings back to her are genuine, so he has to learn from his parents how girls like Lexus work. Butters doesn't like the lesson, but Lexus makes it clear that she's not his girlfriend. After she dumps him, Butters sees that his parents are right. Porsche is the Raisins girl Kyle hooks Stan up with, but Stan doesn't warm up to her. She's rather air-headed, as Butters' mom rightly concludes, so hearing her talk on and on just reminds Stan of Wendy, with whom he had conversations of more substance and intellect. He gets miserable and finally asks his friends if they can leave. Ferrari is the new girl, and her orientation provides insight into the world of waitressing. Maury is the bouncer any good restaurant or bar has. Lexus calls on him to escort her to her bike so Butters doesn't try anything funny on her. Once she's gone, Maury returns to the restaurant.
Goth Kids, including Henrietta, and Benny's Waitress
The Goth kids are rather homogeneous and interchangeable. The first Goth boy has hair that often falls on his face, so he has to jerk his head back so the hair falls back into place. He wears blue shoes and has red streaks in his hair. The second Goth boy sports a pompadour and wears a suit. The Goth girl, Henrietta, seems most at home in the Goth environment - think Elvira - and the little Goth boy is quite brainy for his age. They consider themselves non-conformist, but amongst themselves they share the same tastes and style of dress, showing that there is conformity even among themselves. All a new member has to do is dress like them and listen to the same music they do, which is the very definition of conformity. They fail to see the irony. The Benny's waitress is the usual waitress you would expect to find in an establishment that has been around a looong time - she's been working there many years.
