A hat check clerk is someone who stores people's hats while they are at a restaurant or other establishment (like an ice rink). This idiom is hinting that you have a low-level, slightly demeaning, job that anyone could do.
Multimedia performance artist, Laurie Anderson wrote a song called Let X=X about a hat check clerk. Here is the text:
I met this guy - and he looked like might have been a hat check clerk at an ice rink. which, in fact, he turned out to be.
and I said: oh boy. right again. let x=x.
you know, it could be you.
its a Sky-blue sky. Th satellites are out tonight. let x=x.
You know, I could write a book. and this book would be think enough to stun an ox. cause I can see the future and it's a place - about 70 miles from here. where it's lighter. linger on over here. got the time? let x=x.
