Ugh. The "bell" is what is rung when an order is up. The song also talks about "tips" being her only pay. Prostitutes, although they may accept tips, set their pay rate. The song is about a woman who waitresses for a living...probably at a little corner coffee shop. Back then, there were not many jobs for women other than secretarial; waitressing; flight attendant; etc. This is a song to show respect to working women....not working girls:)
Even though this post is from awhile back, I wanted to share what I heard Donna Summer say in an interview about this song. It's actually about a restroom attendant in a restaurant she went to. She really felt for the woman when she saw her and interpreted, in this song, what she imagined the lady's life was like.
