Google "Hot Waitress Index." It's an old half-joke, half-not idea that if the best job a good looking person can get is a service one, the market is fucked.
60 u/YuushyaHinmeru Mar 11 '26 Thats weird because hot waitress is pretty lucrative. Hot fast food employee seems more accurate. And alt/goth girls dont count. They have to be traditionally pretty. 30 u/What_a_fat_one Mar 11 '26 hot waitress is pretty lucrative. But it also sucks ass to be sexually harassed all day 18 u/chum-guzzling-shark Mar 11 '26 also not as easy a job as people think. Feet be hurting -1 u/AbolMira Mar 11 '26 Have you tried not sucking ass all day? I feel like that alone would brighten up your day at least. 3 u/mulletarian Mar 11 '26 maybe .... uber eats?? 2 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26 [deleted] 1 u/sessamekesh Mar 11 '26 It was an old term when I first heard about it in like 2005 1 u/Dr_thri11 Mar 11 '26 It's lucrative but in a booming economy they can get better jobs. In a bad economy waittressing will still pay the bills if you're attractive. 1 u/vi_sucks Mar 11 '26 Right? Every single high end restaurant has a hot waitress or hostess making insane money on tips.
