Probably a reason auto-grat going away
"marketing models” are not servers so no tip?

Good call art.

It's a bit unfortunate that we have a society so bent on lawsuits. Yes, these "servers" have to deal with a lot of pressure from management to look and act a certain way. However, they are getting paid 6 figure incomes to walk around and serve liquor. Where else in the world could you earn that type of income for those types of job duties.

And that doesn't mean I'm for verbal abuse, but the women knew what they were singing up for when they interviewed for the position.

The fact that a professor would think that in another city a woman would win a lawsuit is absurd... Hooter's had to invent the concept of "models who serve" when they got sued by some dude because he didn't get a waiter job there (at least I'm pretty sure they came up with it originally). The exact same principal is applied in every Twin Peaks, Hooters, and Tilted Kilt in America... only without the 6 figure part...
