I made more money when I wore red lipstick as a waitress — America's tipping culture is gross
and I can't help but think that's part of why the red lipstick theory works so well with female servers. When I was working in a more upscale restaurant, I noticed a darker shade of red worked best whereas in a more casual restaurant, a bright fire engine red was the key to more tips.
When a man is sitting in a restaurant, he's probably already hungry — then the red lipstick is stimulating his appetite even more and maybe even subconsciously making him consider fertility. I don't think men are consciously realizing this, but there are all these subtle cues in place.If I had a slicked back ponytail with the ends of my hair curled, that made a difference in tips.
I know it's gross to think that men may be tipping me more because they think I look young, but women have to put up with men's unseemly behavior all the time. I might as well make some money from it. The tipping culture in the U.S., where we have to hustle for so much of our pay, is ridiculous and it leads to stuff like this.When I put on my red lipstick and curled my hair, I was putting a mask over my real self. I could laugh at customers' dumb jokes and put up with their silly requests more easily. I knew they wouldn't recognize me outside of the restaurant without makeup on. It was just a facade I was presenting to them.
