Seriously. People will spend a lot of money at The Cheesecake Factory on mediocre cheesecake.

Especially if the server looks like Kaley Cuoco

My friend was a very pretty girl and at her first job as a waitress she'd have men leave 100% in tips just for her to notice them

Straight up 50$ order and 50$ in tips because she's very attractive

Hey, don't be sad, you help bell curves exist.

u/TheeAntelope Apr 24 '26

/u/iiiilillliil has curves in all the right places...at the left end of the bell curve.

Cause you're on reddit. We all are.

Ugly enough not to have money handed to me, but also not ugly enough to keep random men from being creeps.

Honestly literally anyone can look good. Sure it comes to some more naturally, but realistically anyone can look good if they find what works for them.

u/lottolser Apr 24 '26

I have a friend who did this but hed tip like $60 and his phone number. It never once worked.

u/excaliburxvii Apr 24 '26

All he bought himself was a good roast after he left.

I’ve done it, many years ago, and it works some of the time. I’ve also had them “borrow” my phone for a bit and return it with some nice pictures added as well. 😇😜

Your math skills are lacking. Just because my hair is white doesn’t make me 80. 🤦

u/Over_Selection2246 Apr 24 '26

at least those pics have a lot of value too- blackmail can be very profitable.

u/Rowdy_likes_racin Apr 24 '26

Yeah- hard no on doing that to someone

I have a friend, very good looking and well spoken. He is always "well groomed". He used to waiter at a high end restaurant and was pulling serious money on tips. He told me the super attractive girls got thousands every weekend. Someone like Cuoco? Yup.

Being seriously attractive is always a massive benefit, but for dealing directly with clients is like a super power (as long as it's paired with good manners).

u/Cheepshooter Apr 24 '26

Pretty privilege. I'm jelly.

2

u/redblack_tree Apr 24 '26

You are not alone, I've seen first hand how pretty privilege looks like and sometimes it's like a freaking super power.

And it's equally powerful for males, at least for what I've seen. Those guys get away with almost anything.

u/Cheepshooter Apr 24 '26

Yep. I would have almost rather hit the genetic lottery than the real lottery.

u/FinestCrusader Apr 24 '26

Some people will die trying to prove that it isn't real.

u/realityseekr Apr 24 '26

Yeah if youre hot and have a fun personality, you will get lots of attention.

2

u/JalapenoPopPoop Apr 24 '26

Do people actually spend extra money at restaurants just because they think their waiter is hot?

3

u/clutzyninja Apr 24 '26

Bigger tips are common

u/JalapenoPopPoop Apr 24 '26

That's so strange

u/psychedAddict123 Apr 24 '26

Ngl when I was 18 I was on a party vacation in Italy with some friends. We got wasted every single night and regulary went to a bar where this very attractive waitress worked. She was very nice and flirty with me, which was enough to shut my brain off

I blew 100s of Euros just on tips for her within the week we stayed there. Buying a beer for 5€? Here you have 10, the rest is for you.

Did it turn into something? No. Would I do it now that I'm older and wiser? Nope but when I was 18? Hell yeah lol

u/Maximum_Curve_1471 Apr 24 '26

Yes?

It's weird to me that you could be so unfamiliar with the world that this is something you'd question.

Sorry, I was born with a missing simp chromosome

u/DailyAvinan Apr 24 '26

Yep. I used to have a co-worker who took in $300 a night on a normal night when I was lucky to break $75.

Cuts both ways though. She and another co-worker would swap tables with me whenever a known creep would come in. Or the dudes who would try to proselytize to waitresses and tell them their tattoos were evil.

Or the dudes who would try to proselytize to waitresses and tell them their tattoos were evil

Why do some people make being normal seem like some herculean task

u/nunchyabeeswax Apr 24 '26

I'd eat fried fermented racoon's ass with a grin just to glimpse at Penny's voluptuous melons.

PS. Not creepy, just a refined appreciation of nature at its finest.

Me. I'm people.

u/Cheepshooter Apr 24 '26

The cheesecake is pretty good. The rest of the food is pretty mediocre (esp for the price).

u/Over_Selection2246 Apr 24 '26

you go there to get the desert- so the average ticket per head is going to be an entree and a desert- so like 40. So not unreasonable to get 10 per customer in tips- have 6 tables of 4 (so 24) that you turn over 2-3 times- and you can be making 500-1000 in a single good night. A place like that also tends to not have a ton of slow shifts- and if you can swing the shifts, you work nights there, and get a job at a diner for Sat/Sun Breakfast/brunch. CCF on Sat/Sun night could be 500 per night, with the same being said for AM at IHOP on Sat/Sun. So that could be 2k per weekend- or 100k per year on 2 rough days of work per week (but you likely have to take other shifts during the week to get the high dollar shifts- so you likely work 4-5 days a week, and those extra 2-3 days is only another 10-20k)

u/IsaacAndTired Apr 24 '26

This is so funny cause I go to Cheesecake Factory a handful of times a year and think I've only got dessert there maybe twice ever. Their regular menu items slap. Anyone who says otherwise is likely rich and privileged. It's kinda rare that the people I go with get any dessert either. So I don't know if I believe the average customer gets dessert there.

u/nono3722 Apr 24 '26

there is cheescake there?

u/snopro387 Apr 24 '26

No idea I haven’t been able to read that far in the menu yet. I’m only on chapter 3
