"Pigtails for Tips: The Controversial Server Strategy"

A 26-year-old server from Ohio has revealed her sneaky tricks to get higher tips from male patrons, including wearing lighter makeup, showing some cleavage, and tying her apron higher to cinch her waist. However, the biggest success came when she wears her hair in pigtails because it creates an 'innocent' look that men find attractive. The 'pigtail theory' is a popular one among female servers, and Hannah Pemberton claims that she is playing the men who tip her and loves it. She believes that it's empowering to make the male gaze work for her.
