Before her third consecutive double shift at a pizzeria last year, Grace Velez pulled her hair, which fell past her waist, into pigtails. Ms. Velez says she was used to inappropriate comments from customers, but what she experienced that day shocked her.
Regulars who usually never tipped put money in the pizzeria’s tip jar. A few older men winked at Ms. Velez, 21, as they dropped in cash. Another man, who Ms. Velez guessed was in his 30s, tried to flirt with her for 10 minutes before asking her whether she was a high school student.
About halfway through her shift, the University of North Florida student began to suspect that it was her pigtails that made her tips double. She typically made $45 to $75 in tips during double shifts, but she earned $140 that day. On a whim, she made a TikTok about what had happened.
“It’s something that you notice, and then you never unsee it,” Ms. Velez said. “It drew a lot of attention to the fact that young women are definitely fetishized.”
The TikTok post was viewed 1.4 million times, and comments streamed in from others who had similar experiences.
“i do it because it’s such an easy hairstyle when i forgot to put up my hair but i’m always getting hit on by older men and now it makes sense,” one commenter wrote.
“Wait this makes me nervous I didn’t think ab that one time I wore two braid pigtails cuz I was running late and got a 15 dollar tip that night????” said another.
When Bella Woodard saw Ms. Velez’s TikTok and others commenting about how “tiptails” brought in extra cash, Ms. Woodard decided to try it herself.

Ped0s like to show young girls big tips.
>“It drew a lot of attention to the fact that young women are definitely fetishized.”
Wow, you think that a cultural standard extending back to the beginning of time is a thing?
Nothing new here
It has been know for a long time better looking severs get better tips.
Very friendly good looking servers even get better tips.
Wonder if it can increase the odds of getting raped, too?
Somehow, I find it hard to believe that they are bothered by more tips.
I wonder if that shop teacher is going to try that.
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life . . .
Or sniffed?
"Well, just try this one trick ..."
"Wow! I'm making so much money tips!! I am unhappy!!"
Stop ! I can't eat breakfast while laughing.
This is tiktok porn

Nevermind servers actually doing their jobs. /s
I reserve the single dollar insult specifically for the good-looking cranks who never come back to the table except to collect $$, especially now (post-pandemic woke liberals populate most restaurants in our area and I have zero tolerance for those who refuse to do their damned jobs).
Hope they save outrage for Japan; there are entire mainstream stores devoted to men and women who are into this.
Tv shows, comic books, whatever.
Quit complaining.
I will now be on the lookout for pigtailed waitresses with substandard service and may reserve a penny tip as a new level of protest.
(yes, I carry cash)
Hmmm. Cute girls attract attention. Wow!!!
So let me get this straight. If the tips are too low, they complain. If the tips are too high, they complain. What am I missing here?
