How to Pick Up a Waitress

In both the manosphere and real life, I've heard of men trying desperately to sleep with a waitress they met at a restaurant or bar.  I've worked in the service industry for several years, so for those who you who want to sleep with the waitress who served you a burger or rum and Coke, here's my advice on how to sleep with them:

Get a job as a server, bartender, barback, host, or busser, and hook up with girl(s) you work with.

No, seriously.  If you are a customer, you have no chance of sleeping with a female server or bartender.

Yes, the cute, young, blonde server or bartender may be giving you so-called "indications of interest," but these are almost certainly false and meant to encourage you to tip more.  The average restaurant or bar, after 9:00, is filled with couples and a 5:1 single male to female ratio.  The women who serve you food and drink flirt with you, yes, but they do so in order to turn a 15% tip into a 50% tip.

In my years in the restaurant/bar industry, I have never once met a female bartender or server who has slept with a customer.  But, I've known dozens who have slept with their coworkers

Yes, what I'm saying is that even though your cute server may act flirty with you, once you tab out and leave her $10 on a $20 tab, she'll end up going home with the 16 year old busboy before she goes home with you.

I've also noticed that male servers and bartenders are much more likely to sleep with customers.  I remember at one place I worked, the managers assigned a male to work cocktail on a weekend night.  He ended up netting several numbers.  Most male servers and (especially) bartenders I've known have slept with customers, but as I've mentioned, I've never met a female server or bartender who has.  When female servers get numbers on credit card receipts, they pocket the tip and throw away the number, but if a guy gets a nice tip and number from a cute girl, he will keep both.

So, wannabe PUAs, if you want to add a waitress to your belt notch count, instead of wasting money at a bar and tipping your waitress 50%+ in hopes that she will reward you with a number, get a job at a bar or restaurant.  You'll end up having a lot more success.

Eating Out with SWPLs

The tail end of The Asian of Reason's post in which he describes social class at pizza buffets reminded me of the adventures I've had eating out with my SWPL friends. With my normal friends, eating out is a simple task. We go to a place that has good, filling food, is relatively cheap, and is close by. Sometimes we go to a fast food burger joint like Wendy's or McDonald's, other times a sit-down restaurant, and sometimes hole-in-the-walls (on a side note, I love hole-in-the-wall restaurants). Deciding where to go is a simple task, since we aren't very picky.

With my SWPL friends, it's the opposite. They have an aversion to typical fast food places like McDonald's, considering them too "greasy." They are correct about fast food being greasy, but anywhere you go, a burger will have fat in it, which makes it greasy, and anywhere you go, French fries will be fried in oil. One place they are fond of is Chipotle, which specializes in burritos the size of bricks, crammed with meat, cheese, rice, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, beans, and salsa. That can't be too much healthier than a Baconator. They also are fond of sandwich shops, probably because of the "fresh" and unfried ingredients.

Trying to decide where to eat with them is a pain in the ass. We can't go to any of the "usual" fast food restaurants and whenever one of them decided they are not in the mood for burritos or sandwiches, it can be nearly impossible to decide on a place to go. None of them have any money due to the fact that they are (or were) liberal arts students, so going to a sit-down restaurant is out of the question. Once, the only restaurant they could agree on was one that was an Italian fast food place five miles away! The obvious irony is that SWPLs are environmentalists, yet they wanted to drive ten miles roundtrip to eat at a place that is about as greasy as McDonald's. I guess it was okay because it was "ethnic" food.

SWPL friends can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
