I can’t remember the last time I saw a male defendant in a Peter Pan collar or a pussy bow blouse, though. :-)

As for the pigtails, there may be a tie-in with Japanese anime. Anime creeps me out.

Mary Ann or Ginger? What say you Gentlemen?

Mary Ann. Ginger would be high maintenance.

$60/day in tips typically. That is $8/hour. Is that factored in to the poor low minimum wage workers? $15/hour minimum plus $8/hour tips = $23/hour or $45,000 per year to sling pizza.

Long hair inna restaurant is a health hazard. Look at the guys in the back — they are wearing nets.

Pigtails and braids look cute, and are healthier. If some guy tips them, fine. If someone thinks that is a sign of predatory behavior, they are probably ugly.

*** Very friendly good looking servers even get better tips. ***

I guess I met the first criteria back in my cocktail waitress days. But not the 2nd criteria, and my lack of tips compared to friendly girls showed it.

Customer drops napkin on purpose so he can goose the waitress.
Friendly waitress: “Oh, you naughty Rooster. I better keep an eye on you.”
Sockmonkey waitress: “I’m not picking that up. Pick it up yourself you pervert bastard.”

Once a customer put his hand on my belt buckle. Automatic reaction: I stabbed him through his hand with my very sharp pencil. Yep, all the way through it.
He was shocked. “You bastard, you stabbed me. I’m going to have you arrested.”
Sockmonkey waitress: “You touched my belt buckle.”
My boss, a great guy, threw him out.

Dawn was definitely pin up material

In working with her, I was very surprised that she was single! We chatted about how I had a mutual friend in Russell Johnson on Bainbridge Island and she gushed "Oh, I so would have married him! We were always best friends!" I thought it was a very special thing to hear as, when I was a kid, I thought their characters should have married. Ha!

Ha ha ha!

Luckily, Natalie had Dawn to take care of her at the very end. It was nice to learn how most of the actors were as close as the characters.

“because it’s such an easy hairstyle when i forgot to put up my hair...”

Sure, because pulling your hair into 2 pigtails that you have to make sure look even is much easier than just pulling it into one ponytail.

See, nowadays they got “water bras” so even the non-busty waitresses can get those “cleavage” bonus tips.

Then, in 2014, I directed Dawn Wells in a Breast Cancer Awareness PSA.

Dawn was living in Driggs and came to Pocatello to shop for a new SUV. She expressed an interest in an ice blue 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid at Courtesy Ford. My wife was interested in the same vehicle. We purchased it that afternoon and heard the Dawn Wells connection as we were doing the paperwork.

The servers at my local Garcia's are paid $3/hour plus tips. They really depend on tips for their income.

Mythbusters did a show where they had a woman name Kari Byron put on different sized padding under her shirt.
The bigger they were the bigger the tips....

Maybe she normally looks like a slob and the pigtails were a big improvement? But let’s not consider other factors. Let’s use it as an opportunity to male-bash.

Do shop teachers get tips for the holidays?

MY wife was a waitress for 40 plus years.

Never in a place that served alcohol.

But I heard lots of stories.

Probably true

But I was considering attractiveness.
