How much extra money do girls make in tips (as servers) if they work at a Hooter's/Tilted Kilt/(any other restaurant where you wear a flirty outfit and have to be relatively good looking) compared to if they work at a more family style restaurant such as TGIF's or Applebee's?
How much does a Hooter's waitress make in tips compared to a waitress in a less sexualized restaurant?

First of all these places are not "sexualized". Sure the outfits at Hooters, Tilted Kilt, and Winghouse are more revealing than those at TGIF or Applebee's, but that's it, not all the girls at these places are cute. They are, however, family restaurants just like any other place.
As far as tips go, I've never worked at a TGIF or applebee's, but it's probably close to the same.
I work at Hooters and you still get shitty people that will leave not even a penny for a tip.
I don't think anyone has done a research study on it, so there's really no way to tell besides asking a Hooters waitress who had also worked previously in a regular restaurant, but even that would be a biased survey.

Personally, I think the tips are going to be about the same - or even possibly less.
I am a guy and yes, I like cute, busty girls. But I will never patronize such places. I bet the food is average to terrible. Plus, you probably would have a bunch of blockhead guys in there cat-calling and whistling and all that BS. I can't stand that kind of male behavior ANYWHERE, and I'm sure I don't want to have to hear that BS while I am trying to enjoy a meal. See, those beer guzzlers and hooter watchers spend their money on food and beers and talk all their macho BS. Once they are out of money and are drunk, they leave with some more whistles, I would think.
Not much cash left = not much of a tip left.

Like about 2 years ago, I was out and about with a couple of my old high school friends (we're all guys). They were saying we should go to Hooters. I could see what was coming. It was disturbing. I could tell from their faces and their language that they were already picturing looking at boobs and behaving like freakin' Neanderthals. I find that disgusting. Luckily, I managed to steer us into a civilized restaurant with good food. I prefer to behave like a civilized person rather than like a barbarian.

It seems that Carlie has confirmed my story. Thanks for the thumbs-down, whomever gave it.
