How to get more tips (if you are a waiter/waitress)
-
Assuming that their services are equally good, will you give more tips to a waiter that
stand next to you while taking your order squat next to you while taking your order lower his body i.e. bending down, while taking your order
Believe it or not one study found that food servers who squatted down next to their customers to take drink orders got higher tips than servers who stood next to their customers (Lynn & Mynier, 1993)
Supposedly, the increased eye contact and closeness generated more positive feelings. Nobody likes to be 'look down' by others especially if you are a customer.

Just curious where in Singapore can you find waiter that squat down beside you while taking your order?

You are so much better than your manager. You should take over his place.Originally posted by shade343:How come you only post this when I quit my waiter job???
