Can I add my experience at a sushi restaurant on my resume?

Hi guys,

I am a rising junior at a semi-target/non-target school studying economics. I am interested in getting an internship in the capital markets or sales and trading division.

In May, I worked at a japanese restaurant for like 2 weeks. Can I add this on my resume? Since I have not had as many experiences as others, I would like to demonstrate that at least I did "something" on my resume.....Obviously, the date would be "May 2014"... Is it going to hurt me?
