Prof. Michael Lynn, marketing and tourism, surveyed 374 waitresses about their perceived “sexiness,” breast size and other physical characteristics and correlated these results with the amount of tips the waitresses received.
His results indicate that evolutionary instinct trumps the ideals many patrons profess. Though most customers say they reward service, Lynn reports that quality of service has less than a 2-percent effect on the actual tip.
Instead, he found that waitresses with larger bra sizes received higher tips — as did women with blonde hair and slender bodies.....
Lynn explained that his study could be useful to a potential waitress as it can help gauge her “prospects in the industry.”
“It also informs management decisions about who to hire,” Lynn added, explaining that servers who earn higher tips are more desirable employees because they are likely to stay at their job longer. Higher tips also indicate higher customer approval of the server, and by association, the establishment in general....
Lynn’s results were met with distaste and disappointment from some of his colleagues at the University.
“I am disappointed but not surprised to learn that female servers with larger breasts receive more generous tips,” said Prof. Sherry F. Colb, law, who studies sexual equality.
Colb criticized the tipping system in general as facilitating the kind of discrimination that Lynn uncovered.
“Like the employer who fails to promote an employee because she does not sufficiently conform to the feminine stereotype, restaurant owners share in the blame for utilizing a pay structure that turns unenlightened customers into the ‘boss’ in charge of determining a server’s take-home pay,” she said.
Colb suggested instead that a uniform percentage “gratuity” be charged with each meal.

You’re kidding, right?
That is Sophia Loren.
Nice pic, when did Matthew Modine get a sex change?
Beached whales, I'm sure, have a role to play in society. It's just that stewardesses and waitresses ain't it. One is a safety issue, the other an appetite killer, not the best inducement for a pleasant meal.
I could suggest counterweights for large cranes, or traffic barriers...
Keep reading, chief. I’ve already been corrected.

“Its QUALITY as much as QUANTITY.”
Quanity has a quality all its own.
Yep, shoulda done. So, you’re clear on who that lady is, yes? Never make the mistake again, right? And just failing to care one way or the other for the duration I assume?
LOL :D
SD, I don’t know if WUAV was serious.
Sophia Loren, BTW.
Looks like Spock’s deep into the Plak Tow.
I was distracted by the big-boobed one. I had to look at the picture four times just to see Ms. Loren/ Hepburn/ Kennedy.
Maybe if she had a bigger rack, I’d have remembered better. Haha.

I like to think of it as preventative therapy for Alzheimers.
What on Earth makes you think that joke was appropriate to post on FR?
I could have told’em that without a study...Everybody sort of knows that already. But Colb’s reaction is classic...
S’all right. It’s a pic I have seen many many times, and being something of a Loren fan (she can act, as it turns out), I’ve had an advantage.
And, I figure her amplitude is jusssstt about the extent of what any woman should have. There really is a limit to every good thing, IMHO.
She could have donated it here: My Free Implants
The best I can tell, this isn't a joke. It might be a scam, though.
1. They can't run away as fast
2. Their far easier to tip over
These two factor seem increase in direct proportion to boobs size
So the bigger women's boob the easier she was for a man to catch and have sex with her
I think I will get a grant to study this
>> “Women are not for decoration”
Classic.
