Apparently they do tip on top of the >= minimum wage. Another reason why Canada is the superior North American country... something to be proud of if it wasn't compared to such a crappy food service industry. All relative.

A friend of mine was the kitchen manager at a popular bar and grill chain. His best servers always made more than him per hour and often came close to his salary in weekly pay. 125k is an exaggeration but it's not that far off.

Mythbusters actually checked the adage of "Bigger ***s means Bigger Tips". Had Kari (who was already a generous C) work the counter at a coffee shop doing orders and collecting tips, one day as normal, one with her chest tied down to a smaller size, and then with a very convincing padded bra (up to about an E). The first two were identical in tips. But when she went larger, things got very lucrative.
The kicker was that yes, men tipped her more, but so did the women. In fact, the increase was about 10-20% greater than the men's increase.

Yep. It’s because large breasts are a universal draw. Male or female, gay or straight, people are programmed to notice and respond positively to large breasts.
It’s not a sexual thing in most cases, believe it or not. It’s a maternal thing. Human beings are born with an innate understanding that breasts are a source of sustenance and comfort. Newborns knows what to do with them long before they’ve experienced their first conscious thought.
In that context, it makes one wonder whether the huge boob lovers of the world actually have an Oedipal thing going on.

Re: 18-09-18 I can respect that
Zing.
Still, I gotta applaud Didi for sticking to her principles in the 11th hour. It was a minor morale victory to be sure, salary notwithstanding apparently. It just reinforces that she cares for her friends more, not wanting them to be hurt. There were no orgasms involved to tip the scale into Gigi's favor (thanks to Maura winning Lynn's staged fight for her affection). Had Didi and Lynn slept together, I think this strip wouldn't have happened.
I wonder if there will be any blowback from Gigi onto Lynn for not acquiring Didi. If she was truly Vader-like, a Force choke would be in order... not to mean that Gigi would get to offing Lynn... just that she would 'react' poorly or via tantrum. Considering there is more training needed and the direct mention of "partenaire" with Roxie blushing at being referred to such fondly, I expect more wrestling arcs. Also, the Tempests and Maura and how Tess will take to Maura sleeping with Lynn. I'd like to know what sauciness exists there, but I can understand if the creative team leaves that alone to focus on other 'more mainstream' characters and their finales/denouements.
If she makes so much money, I am curious as to why she is in the apartment. Perhaps she is happier to be with more people? Perhaps she is used to paying X amount for her living expenses. We have never seen Didi want for anything and she dresses fabulously. I guess her money goes to her wardrobe and accessories and naughty underthings? Charity to help balance her otherwise selfish on-panel antics?

Lynn did her job. She found Didi, got her interested, played her nearly perfectly and brought her to GiGi. That Gigi was unable to seal the deal isn't Lynn's fault. Of course, that doesn't mean GiGi won't blame her for it. Sometimes, life ain't fair.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 2:57 pm

Not what I heard. It was a Canadian told me how they don’t tip in Australia (which also turned out to be perhaps-outdated information).

Re: 18-09-18 I can respect that
Who knows? But GiGi comes across to me as quite professional. There was probably a very loud “Damnit!” after DiDi left, but I don’t imagine a serious tantrum.worldshaking00 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 18, 2018 2:57 pmI wonder if there will be any blowback from Gigi onto Lynn for not acquiring Didi.

I doubt that there’s time now.Considering there is more training needed and the direct mention of "partenaire" with Roxie blushing at being referred to such fondly, I expect more wrestling arcs.
DiDi seems to think in clichés. Waitresses live in shared apartments. End of.If she makes so much money, I am curious as to why she is in the apartment. Perhaps she is happier to be with more people? Perhaps she is used to paying X amount for her living expenses. We have never seen Didi want for anything and she dresses fabulously. I guess her money goes to her wardrobe and accessories and naughty underthings?
Also, taking this far too seriously, I seem to recall that she hasn’t been in the city for very long, so she may not have been making that sort of money for very long — so she may not have very much saved. She may be better placed to put down the deposit and initial expenses for a bigger place in a couple of years time. So this could be pitched as a smart strategy.

Re: 18-09-18 I can respect that
It's not that Australians don't tip, they just don't feel forced to. One of my best friends lives in Australia and he tells me that the tipping rule is this: You don't have to tip, ever; but you can if you want to. No one is gonna look you down or shame you for not tipping.
Unless the wrestling stuff develops in a spin-off. But for this comic, I'm with you, there's no time.

Re: 18-09-18 I can respect that
If the restaurant Didi works at wasn't busy all the time before she started working there, it sure as heck is now that she is working there. She ought to be making more than the base salary because Didi effect most certainly brings them in a lot of business.
I find women more physically attractive than men, but I just can't get into the monster boobs myself. B or C is fine by me... Though I tend to be into cute girls more than sexy ones, so I'd probably choose Roxie over Didi any day of the week.

Didi has got to learn to read the room. Whilst it's good at giving us punchlines to laugh at, she is going to find it terribly difficult to make and maintain any meaningful friendships if she keeps depth charging them with her casual anecdotes and ill-timed expressions of her principles

Re: 18-09-18 I can respect that
My impression is that FiFi just has the big boobs. I mean, she's a perfectly pleasant-looking woman, sure, but she doesn't have the DiDi Effect. Which is a largely inexplicable hypnotic phenomenon granted by the power of comedy. The boobs focus or amplify it, but they aren't all of it.
