Blonde female bartenders get more jobs and higher tips based on looks

Baxter Lomax
   Blonde female bartenders are four times more likely to be hired as compared to toher grous according to a survey on the hiring practices of bars and restaurant hosts in the state of Indiana and this should not be surprising most likely reflecting a bias. The amount of female blonde bartenders is very evident in the state of Wisconsin and on my own personal investigation of bars and resterauts in Southern Wisconsin one comes across a very high preponderance of female blonde workers behind and attending bars. These hiring practices of these private businesses are rarely spoken so I was a bit surprised to see a report finally dealing with this topic as I have had a hard time competing for jobs with buxom blonde beauties for these prized gigs.
In my forty years of attending bars I have ony seen one black female bartender in a bar that was not in a black predominate surrounding community and the hiring practices of bars should really be investigated more thoroughly. Take Mandy at the Brass Monkey for example. this blonde in this Milwaukee bar is slow and bad and often makes me wait a half hour to getting me my next round of draft. When you look like Mandy you can act as you want regardless of the customer and are there basically for eye candy for the owner. The role of tipping and how peoples biases on good looks and their tipping amount has been a study and again women with full beauty looks and blonde hair get the hire tips without regard to more aggressive fulfillment services studies have shown. This inequality based on looks should also be examined given the amount of investment and tax deferred increment districting plays and the role of bar and restarants in this areas of economic speculation and preferences of improving a neighborhood.
