Tipping pretty girls

    This is inspired by the "Do you tip thread".
    I always, for reasons that are obvious, give pretty waitresses bigger tips. I am not ashamed of this. I enjoy seeing a pretty face. Today I was served by two attractive waitresses and left a large tip even though the bill was quite small.
    What I want to know is, is this common? Does your tip increase for the more attractive girl?

    What other meaning could there be?
    The poll option makes it clear too: "No, I suppress my masculinity".

    ROLF. If you tried to give her the tip you mean, you'd be arrested.

    No. I was expecting men to start confessing, then women would denounce them, then someone would point out that all the hot waitresses are Polish and then, Nesf would lock it.
    I was hoping to find out if its just my weakness or if others do it too.

    No he was expecting everyone to say
    ''Yes me too. The prettier they are, the more I tip them because the prettier you are, the more deserving you are.''

    I can just see the Concern ad. now for starving beautiful people... :~(

    Tipping pretty girls more is clearly a bad habit you've picked up from using too many prostitutes.

    No idea why - but I'll always tip a good looking girl - especially if she's friendly.

    Damn - I'm a sucker............

    Yeah cos prostitutes tend to be pretty? Seriously though why are prostitutes (that Ive seen on the street etc) always so minging? They tend to look like married mothers of 5... I wouldnt go and be a sock model if I had flat feet or verucas, and that is one type of girl I definitely wouldnt tip.

    Edit : Insomnia speaking

    So yea .. prettier girls get more to swallow so?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Demetrius


    The OP's question seemed to be aalong the lines,

    "do more physically attractive peoplee get better treatment because of their looks"?

    To that I would say yes and no. Many tend to view phsically attractive peoploe in a positive light, due to the their good looks, but sooner or later the real you will come through and, attraction , love and infatuation will peter out if you are not really interested in the person.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 850 ✭✭✭DOLEMAN


    All the pretty waitresses come from Offaly and Poland.

    I tip them all as long as they're pleasant, they rely on tips for their wages.

    Not necessarily 'pretty' girls, but the more pleasant they are, the bigger tip they get. So if you're a waitress, act happy :)

    TBH its not just pretty waitresses that get large tips (stop with the sexual inuendo!). Pretty waitresses are generally very friendly and the more friendly you are the bigger the tips. I'm male working in a hotel and generally the more you chat, and be friendly to them the happier they are to give you their money :D.

    Not true, they get as good a basic wage as anybody else in that sector

    While I ususally tip provided the service is good, I wouldn't tip them extra just because they are pretty... unless they were really worthwhile.

    I'd be more likely to make them laugh / wind them up / get their number.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    doesn't really matter how they look. it's all about the service.
    in saying that, i used to fall into the trap of the fluttering eyes and sexy smile.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭Smoggy


    A good waitress will spot a good tipper, usually male under 30 and spend a little more time with them knowing that her time will be well spent when she produces the bill.

    It doesn't make any difference whether she's good looking or not. It's the service that's important.

    Eh no, they earn far more than they should be because Irish people seem to want to believe they live in Manhatten so much that they'll tip waitrons just to appear like they're living in an episode of 'Sex & The City'.

    Waiting staff in Ireland receive minimum wage. Same as the bloke stacking shelves in SuperValu or the girl taking your coat in a nightclub cloakroom. Don't let yourself be so influenced by American movies.

    One of the poll choices is problematic.:rolleyes: Seems to be male oriented? Wouldn't it also be interesting to see how females tip or fail to tip pretty female waitresses, too? And the "why" could really get interesting?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 575 ✭✭✭JustCoz


    I always, for reasons that are obvious, give pretty waitresses bigger tips. I am not ashamed of this. I enjoy seeing a pretty face.

    Well you should be ashamed of it! Thats so shallow. So if the girl serving you is crap at her job and not that friendly but good-looking, you'd give a bigger tip then a friendly, accomodating ugly girl?

    Service counts as well but if the pretty girl smiles she'll do better than an equally talented plain girl.
    Oh and since most polled agree with me I'm not ashamed. I am actualising my inner man-beast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    I tip according to service and how my pocket looks at the time. Although if i am with a couple of my gay mates and there is a hot waiter then we always give him a bit more of a tip. Male waiters are just as good at flirting with their customers as girls are. What I do hate are waitresses that will flirt and smile with all the men in the place and just chuck your food at you if you are female. Which is stupid and heteronormative as some of their female customers could be gay.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭eiretamicha


    Here, servers DO depend on their tips for their wages, so if they seem sincere and are doing their job, they get a whopping 20% from me. :)

    That said, if any girl, sexy or otherwise, is being a bit too nice to my husband, she gets a big fat "Oops, I forgot to leave a tip!" :D

    Just out of interest, would you tip at pizza hut?


    Boys throw rocks not girls, silly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭eiretamicha

    In the States, we tip at any restaurant where someone (a server) attends to you (asks what drink you'd like, brings food, etc.)--this includes Pizza Hut. :)

    Tip? Quite a foreign concept to me(unless she is hawt). Jk


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,663 CMod ✭✭✭✭faceman


    Myself and some mates once tipped the waitresses by leaving a few quid and our four mobile numbers on a sheet of paper saying 'can you pick a winner?' The phone was ringing all night... not!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 575 ✭✭✭JustCoz


    Well just wait and see Firespinner, just wait and see... Mwahahahahaha.

    Yes I would tip in Pizza Hut. I'd tip anywhere I was served
