Larger breasts correlated to larger tips according to study.

   
Okay, not terribly surprising, but I was surprised by this: "Though most customers say they reward service, Lynn reports that quality of service has less than a 2-percent effect on the actual tip."

And disturbed by this: “It also informs management decisions about who to hire,” Lynn added, explaining that servers who earn higher tips are more desirable employees because they are likely to stay at their job longer. Higher tips also indicate higher customer approval of the server, and by association, the establishment in general.

http://cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2010/05/07/l...

Prof. Michael Lynn, marketing and tourism, surveyed 374 waitresses about their perceived “sexiness,” breast size and other physical characteristics and correlated these results with the amount of tips the waitresses received.

His results indicate that evolutionary instinct trumps the ideals many patrons profess. Though most customers say they reward service, Lynn reports that quality of service has less than a 2-percent effect on the actual tip.

Instead, he found that waitresses with larger bra sizes received higher tips — as did women with blonde hair and slender bodies.

While this may seem self-evident to some, Lynn said that “it’s always important to test what seems like obvious cultural wisdom.”

Lynn believes his research, conducted from a wide range of women, is important because it “fills in some holes” in the area of tipping behavior.

“This study uses a broader array of stimuli as they appear three-dimensionally ... to themselves and their customers,” he said.

Lynn explained that his study could be useful to a potential waitress as it can help gauge her “prospects in the industry.”

“It also informs management decisions about who to hire,” Lynn added, explaining that servers who earn higher tips are more desirable employees because they are likely to stay at their job longer. Higher tips also indicate higher customer approval of the server, and by association, the establishment in general.


myself?  i am at a loss to explain such results.  how could this be?

but then?  

i am not a scientist.  that requires government money.  to study such things.


duh!






pfffttt...

because his study  “fills in some holes”


heh!

9. What bullshit
   
Maybe in 'breastaurants' like Hooters, but not in the rest of the restaurant biz. Statistically most patrons are hetero couples, and statistically (like it or not) more women make financial decisions than men.

Women tip based on service, period.

Bullshit study


ummm...

how many here are guessing that dummy leftstreet is an "a" cup.

is that wrong?  does that make me a misogynist? 

i don't mean to second guess dummys, it just seems all of their "phobias" and "hatreds" of society are personal.



if y'all think i am being "racist" (the dummy catch all for those that disagree) or anti-women or homophobe (another catch all) then just tell me and i will stop posting.

i am really just an anti-dummy dude.  an "equal opportunity" dummy hater.

leftstreet is an "a" cup.

i just know it...

Heh, heh, heh! I'd be inclined to think you're right! Hell, how many women actually "tip" when they are with their man?

"Toots" don't put the money on the table, I do! And I'm sure as hell not in the practice of tellin' her how much I tip a "looker"! I'd like to have a little "relations" when I get home, for cripes sake!

Wonder how much this guy got paid for this study? I could have done it!!

Having 2 children who worked in the restaurant business since they started working as teenagers....I've heard all about how people are good tippers and how they are bad. Those that are bad tippers, for the most part, fall into two categories...those that have no clue and those that are just classless asses.

I have been a 20% tipper for 20 years or more....regardless of what the server looks like....as long as the service was average or better. Simply because I admire the patience and tolerance that servers have....I couldn't be that nice to jerks.

As far as a server's looks ....the higher the prices on the menu....the more attractive the server is. And when was the last time anyone saw a homely bartender?

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Hawg's Pen, Route 11, Farmington, NH.  Butt-assed ugly one there last time I went there.

Then again, the local watering hole I go to doesn't have stunning women, but I tip AT LEAST 20-25 percent (usually more).

It's hell when they're making LESS than minimum wage, pay taxes on tips based on SALES (not actual tips, mind you--Thanks, Billy Jeff!), and get jammed up by some asshole who thinks tipping 50 cents on a $4.50 drink is "good enough".

My son's been working in at an Applebee's since he's been back home. His "salary" is $2.50 an hr, not allowed to work more than 40 hrs per week, and hates, hates, hates it there! Runnin' Buddy and I were in there one Saturday night during a marathon errand/shop day, and we stopped in to see him and have a snack. He had just waited on a table with a $67 and change tab, the guy gave him $70 and told him to keep the change. That was his tip! He took the tray back with the difference and told the guy and his companion to have a good night. The guy said thanks and picked up his change. Didn't leave anything else. He said that's typical of the people that come in there.....

He can't wait to quit, but is on a "wait list" to work for a friend of ours over in Oak Ridge. And he wants to start back to school in the fall and finish his engineering degree - I'm thinking working at Applebee's has been a great thing for him... :-)

Having worked in tip jobs as recently as a year ago, I can tell you that when someone doesn't tip, that's one thing.  To me, it's almost MORE insulting when someone leaves a pathetically shitty tip for what was good service.  Almost makes you want to drag the ****er back to the board explaining wage laws and show them the part about how tipped employees make LESS than min. wage, and ask them if they enjoy screwing people over like that.

Have you and my son been talking to each other?  :confused:

He applied Thursday to another restaurant, that I didn't realize he hadn't checked before he went to Applebee's, but it wasn't there when he left in 2002, and I didn't even think about it... :thatsright: They hired 4 servers Wednesday. When he went in yesterday to check on his application, turned out he'd gone to HS with the server manager....who just happens to be female...she told him to call her next week to see if someone didn't work out. Something tells me he could be there soon. :uhsure: He bartended at a private club in NE for the last year and a half, and would really rather do that, but bartending jobs are hard to find.

*shrugs*  My waitress last night had a big rack, she got a 20% tip.  Granted, it did have more to do with arranging the birthday thing for my son, but still, she had a big rack.   :-)

I was out with a couple friends and I was buying and left a 20%+ tip for our very good waitress in a nice restaurant.  Even though they have both done that job, they said it was too much, but they had both worked in local taverns/resorts.   Huh, I don't understand that one bit.   Maybe they had a better hourly salary.

Was at a local TGI Friday's not long ago and had a waitress with ample busoms.  When she brought me my drink, she walked up behind me and set it on the table.  She also managed to put my neck in her cleavage.

I don't know if it was on purpose, but when tip time came, it was more than 25 percent.
