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....
Lynns 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 servers take-home pay, she said.
Colb suggested instead that a uniform percentage gratuity be charged with each meal.

Oh I’ll comment; Upon seeing the pic I have to believe that the only reason this woman wrote this piece is because she cannot understand the inexplicable reason that men prefer tall stacked blondes over skinny wimmen that resemble an angry chicken.
Elaine Benes knows all about this.
DAMNIT! You just beat me to it.
24 posts before a Hooters photo-a little slow today,boys!
I would never of imagined that this could be true.
Ping!
Yep, hands on study, LOL.
Well, anecdotal evidence seems to prove this out. Most restaurants seem to have attractive girls there.
Heck you have a whole chain, Hooters, which is built around this kind of theme. I’ve never been in Hooters, but, have been told that the food is nothing special. The guys like to go there for other reasons.
I wonder what kinds of tips they get at Hooters? That could be an interesting study.
I guess he didn't bother to consider men who wait on tables. Such an egalitarian professor!

Whenever I see that pic I wonder if JFK was the only Kennedy hittin’ that. Jackie O seems really “taken” by the hot blonde on her left.
The List!
Ordinarily, I pop into a thread and make a quick, humorous post, but I believe this subject warrants a more complete examination before I comment.
