Appearance

What is the first thing you notice when meeting someone? Their appearance. Yes, this is superficial but true. It is the first thing to be noticed, to be judged on. As a waitress for the past nine months I have noticed a correlation with appearance and tips. When more of an effort is made on my part the tips are generally higher. Typically I go to work just as I would for school, hair wavy (natural), no make-up, and glasses. When I make an effort, I straighten my hair, put make-up on, and contacts. This has resulted in over a $20 difference. This has something to do with the weather and time of the year however too. So it is difficult to really gage these things. But that is the overall trend that I have noticed time after time.
