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

Katelyn Boss is a 22-year-old server at a sports bar in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She thought it was a waste of time at first. The tips were bad, and her base wage was $2.13 an hour.

Then she tried putting her hair in pigtails to get higher tips from male customers — and it worked.

When I first started working as a waitress at a sports bar and grill, I was struggling to make tips. It almost felt like I was wasting my time. I was making so little money, because the minimum wage in Utah for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour.

I saw the 'pigtail theory' for making more tips on TikTok So I went on TikTok to look at what other waitresses were doing to make higher tips. I was looking for any ideas and tricks I could use, and I came across the "#pigtailtheory" trend. In it, women realized that if they wore their hair in pigtails, they made more money in tips.

I was kind of surprised by the idea, but I decided to just give it a try. I put my hair in pigtails and went into the bar for my waitressing shift. That was the night I made my first $100 tip.

Basic sexism, middle aged men were too nerdy in school to get the hot babes so now if one plays up to that while taking care of him (e.g., waitressing), they will tip better. Kind of like why strippers wear schoolgirl outfits.

So she needs to take advantage of it while she's still young as that cutesy look ages out.

Shake em while you got em, babe. Push those girls up and out. The tips will roll in!

HOOTERS aint got that good of hot wings. They just dont.

Men are always more likely to spend money on pretty girls.

Perhaps her attitude changed with the pigtails.

Good waitresses with a good attitude can do well.

As opposed to what? A greasy blue haired smelly trashed up looking feminist?

Good grief. Eating at a restaurant is not just about food.

Humm rolling my eyes on this post, give me a break it was a sports bar, men that go to those places are basically pigs. She needs to be working at a family restaurant like Cracker Barrel.

That’s it. Ban waitresses. Order from an app and a sloppy guy from the kitchen bring out the food.

Thread is worthless without pics!!

Que the chick from suicide squad!!

[HamiltonJay]

And bartenders and waitresses that show cleavage get bigger tips. Why is this news?

Tik Tok saves another lost soul

[maddog55]

She bitches because she found a gimmick that works for her. I’m guessing she also changed her attitude as well. Good waitresses get good tips from normal people...

[Erik Latranyi]

Guess what?

Women tip sexy waiters better!

Those who think we should deny natural law are the problem.

I'm calling BS. Most waitressing jobs would not pay for collagen injections .....unless we're talking about something else.
