Would You Tip Your Waitress More Money Just Because She Is Hot?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

In my previous post I asked, “How much do you tip your waitress?” But perhaps the better question to ask is do you have the tendency to tip your waitress more just because she is hot? Seriously, if your waitress is just absolutely SMOKING, are you going to give her more money simply for that fact? What about service? Are you more forgiven with mistakes just because she shows off her boobs and gives you a big smile as she apologizes for spilling hot coffee in your lap causing you to never to be able to have kids again?

Before you answer this, seriously… take a moment and think about it and be honest. I think that many younger waitresses use their looks to make up for a lack in performing their jobs effectively. I also too think that older waitresses might not get as high tips even though they provide a better service just because they are older and less appealing due to their age.

Is my guess wrong? Well… tell me otherwise, I am sure that waitresses of all shapes, colors and sizes will receive nice tips for providing a great service; however, if you have a 24 year old HOT, SMOKING waitress showing off her ta tas in what appears to be a bra that is about to explode and two sizes too small who provides equal service compared to the others described, will she end up getting more money?

How Much Do You Tip Your Waitress?

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

So I am always curious as to what the magical formula is with tipping your waitress. How much money do you tip your waitress? What conditions have to be met in order for your waitress to get a good tip? What elements have to happen in order for your waitress to not receive a nice tip?

For me, I tip high. I think I tip higher than the average person. I understand that this is a very difficult job and many people treat their waitress like shit. So when I receive great service, I usually tip a little higher to compensate for the last person who was a total jerk to the waitress.

Really though, I am very low maintenace when I am at a table. The only thing I want is good tasting food (which falls outside from the responsibility of the waitress) and I want my drink to constantly stay filled.

Also, to help with being proactive most restaruants provide free re-fills, so I always order one drink plus a re-fill in advanced so that it is less work that the waitress has to do.

If my food is not hot, that may fall under that category of being the waitresses fault as my food must have sat under the heat lamp a little too long.

That’s about it. I just want a friendly smile, hot food and my drink constantly re-filled. If those conditions are met, then don’t be surprised to see a $10 to $20 dollar tip on a $50 to $75 dollar bill.

So, how much do you tip and what is your little magic formula used to calculate the amount?
