I wear pigtails to my waitressing job because men tip better when I do. It grosses me out, but the money is worth it.

When I started my business career a million years ago, I had to stop wearing old blue jeans, running shoes, and t-shirts.

It grossed me out to wear a conservative suit and tie, but I noticed I could get a job and my income went up.

It's just weird, but what the heck...the money was good.;-)

I get the sh*ts when the “food service community” trots out the $2.13 minimum wage sad sack line. Federal law stipulates that if their tips and wages combined do not meet or exceed $7.25 then the employer is obligated to make up the difference. And I guarantee you the vast majority do not report all their cash tips (actually I have no problem with that).

A dear friend of mine did very well in tips for many years.

She was an all around people person and down to earth type.

I would take her over the over made up types of now.

Actually, WAY back in the day, they had an awesome grouper sandwich. Which is really why I went. This was 25+ years ago.

I agree. It is part looking good and part acting nice to the customers.

When she started wearing pigtails she started being less glum. After a few good tips she started being really being happy and that changed how she interacted with the customers.

“What the hell do want to order” changed to “Hi, how can I help you”.
Something like that.

How many of those new 87K IRS thugs will be used to harass single mothers for their "unreported tips"?

Government doesn't understand society so they hate it.

I’m guessing she has had a fair amount of feminization through school and somehow considers mens interest in pigtails a sign of male dominance, sexualization of girls and chauvinism.

Yet why would pigtails be any more repressive than say a Tossed Lob?

Another guess I’d make is she loves rap music and oddly doesn’t see a problem with lyrics like:

“ These hoes! They hate! Your boy! Today! . . .Bend it over, lift it up, bend it over, lift it up, make that jump. . .”- Drake, Nice For What? (Ranked #1 song in America currently). —2018

Or…:

“ “Tryin’ to send the b–ch back to her maker
And if you got a daughter older then 15, I’mma rape her
Take her on the living room floor, right there in front of you
Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna do?”—DMX, 1990s

So - she’s willing to do something she claims is disgusting for more money - I think a lot of prostitutes use that line...😎

I always tip in cash, whenever possible, for exactly this reason. Screw the IRS.

That’s fine. She is maximizing her sexual assets and making money about it, which I am okay with.

Her being “grossed out” casts a different light on it though. It is more akin to prostitution than maximizing her sexual assets.

I always up my tip when my waitress wears pigtails. Doesn’t everybody? I’m surprised that people are suprised by this.

“There’s nothing that turns me on more than an 80 year old chick in pigtails!”

Last week we were shopping at an upscale furniture store, and one of the sales ladies had long, very blonde braids. We guessed she was about 60. She looked ridiculous — not serious.

We hoped she wouldn’t break out yodeling.

Katelyn Boss is a biased fool. Customers aren’t tipping her more because her pigtails have a sexual overtone; they’re tipping her more because she looks younger and they think she needs the money more.

If those men are pigs, then the women that work there are whores.
