And the research bears that out as well.
This plays into actually what psychologists call the halo effect.
That is that we just naturally assume good looking people are more likable, competent and deserving.
And that's not just in the food service.
That's sadly in society.
That is objectively unfair.
And researchers have also found that female servers who wear red lipstick tend to earn higher tips.
And getting back to what you were talking about, where you noticed that a lot of times they'll sit or crouch by the table.
The research bears that out as to that those who sit or crouch at the table instead of standing when taking an order, they earn more tips as well, including they also found that adding a small personal message to the check boosts a tip.
Every time you get a check and it's got like, thank you with the smiley face on it.
That is a server who has either through personal experience noticed that they make more tips or maybe gone in and read the psychology of tipping and understands that's why they do that.
And somewhat uncomfortably, the research even says that a light touch between the server and the customer, like briefly placing a hand on a customer's shoulder while asking how everything was going, this also associates with higher tips.
Yeah.
No, you nailed it there.

And this is so interesting because research has repeatedly shown that restaurant workers in states with the tipped minimum wage, that is to say...
The sub-minimum wage, that is to say, they are relying solely on the tips.
