short shorts and a tight skimpy tank top as most of my coworkers suggested...did not wear my wedding band or diamond...and I made $127 in tips my first night....I don't smoke much, but my coworkers have also suggested that in addition to skimpy outfits, miniskirts, tight jeans, tight tops, I might also try smoking one of the feminie 120 length cigarettes when I smoke when I am working so that I will look more sexy for tips...as I say..I don't smoke too much except when I go out and when I am working in the bar...should I make the switch to long cigarettes to increase my tips as they suggest?

If it increases your tips, it is worth a try!

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. The answer is NO! Why compromise your health for a few bucks and who in the world told you that it is sexy? Some guys may like it, but you may lose tips from others who think it is a turn off when girls smoke. You health is going to cost you a lot more money in the long run if you smoke to make a few tips now. Seriously, look at the big picture.

actually more men probably will find cigarettes to be a turn off instead of a turn on, to be honest.
The short skirts and tank top is a great idea, a push-up bra would also be wonderful. Wear big earrings if you can. Play up your assets and you'll make some good $$$. I just wish that I was blessed with a wonderful body like that to do that. Alas, children really change the shape of things, that's for sure.

I wouldn't smoke. If most of your clientele is men, dress what accentuates your qualities. If you are overweight, DO NOT WEAR skimpy outfits. There is nothing more repulsive than a fat chick who shows off her flab. If you are overweight, wear something black, something that will hide your midsection and call attention to your breasts.
But, lets say you are more slender and wear the tight clothes. The next step is flirting with your body. Lean forward on the bar like you are flirting with the guy (unless you are super busy). Make eye contact and smile. He may be a drunk bastard, but make him feel like he is king of the world. We go out to feel good, it is part of your job to make sure the man is feeling good. Also, you are new to the job, give it time. You will become more comfortable with what you do and you'll be able to have more fun when you've got everything down.
Good luck!

Skimpy clothing doesn't hurt your body health-wise... smoking can cause cancer which can kill you.
I think that the clothing they suggested is more than enough. Becoming a nicotene addict for a couple more dollars just doesn't make sense. Smoking is deadly. Wearing a skimpy outfit should be more than enough! :)

I don't think you need to change who you are just to get more tips.
Smoking decreases your life span, is that really worth a few more bucks? Plus it's so gross.
I personally think you shouldn't have to dress or do anything differently but just give good service and take the tips you earn for your service, not for your looks.
You're not a hooker, you are a waitress.

You know as well as I do that the reason they want you to have something dangling from your lips is that it looks phallic.
If you are going to go that route, why don't you try suckers instead? Or a straw or a pen? Do you really think risking cancer and emphysema is worth it? It's bad enough to be breathing all that second hand smoke.
Wise up sweetie.

Don't smoke at all, just show more skin. Nothing is sexier than a lot of leg and boob showing, smoking adds nothing to the image, high heels help a lot too. Smile and be friendly.

well, you might try it and see how it works out
try a couple of nights (not just one, because it might not be conclusive) in which you smoke long cigarettes, in a "nice" way, in plain view, at the end of the night count your tips
then try a couple of nights without those cigs, count tips again
and just compare the results
easy, huh? :) trying never hurt anyone... but a word of advice: beware of looking way too sexy and inviting, because you might get more results than you expected... guys are silly..

I dont think it will help much. Flirt and try out the cigarettes if you want. It might make a difference but i doubt it

I think your on the road to being single, unless your husband is ok with this. One thing will lead to another & eventually you will be divorced. You may need the money, but be prepared for problems down the road.
