Women who work in restaurants of that nature report much higher levels of sexual harassment.
According to industry studies, women working in states with the tip minimum wage were almost twice as likely to report sexual harassment compared to women in states where they received the state minimum wage.
And they were also, in the tip minimum wage jobs, far more likely to report managers telling them to dress sexier to increase tips.
Yeah.
I'd be curious about the experiences of the listeners who've also waited tables and see if they line up with my experiences.
Because my experience was mostly that the female servers I knew laugh it off.
Like, it takes a lot to offend them.
A dude would have to be a particularly egregious piece of garbage for it to become an issue.
A lot of cringy compliments, too, about their looks from dudes.
It's just, speaking of the stories that I've told, I don't think this could happen anymore, but I do remember one time in 1995 at the Chestnut Tree Mall in Massachusetts, my first job as a waiter, some dude totally crossed the line, I can't remember what, but I remember the manager walked up to his table, put him in a headlock, and dragged him out to the parking lot.
It was actually called paparazzi.
Oh, God.
The Chestnut Hill Mall.
It's still there.
And I will say I dream of their spaghetti bolognese.
I will tell you that.
Research also shows that social norms play a major role in tipping.
Most people just always tip 15-20%.
There's even some meta-analysis suggesting that tipping has an element of mystery and unpredictability.
All that said, I can tell you from experience, and again, I'm curious what the listeners' experiences might have been, but that a good server definitely makes more money than a bad server any day of the week.
