Don't Dishrespect mePosted May 16th 2007 4:42PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Restaurants, Business, MagazinesThough the article is a couple of months old, the issue it addresses is timeless. Is there sexism in restaurants? We're not talking about sexism in restaurants as a workplace, but in restaurants as the customer. Cythia Kilian of the New York Post poses the question and finds that indeed, there is a gender-based bias in the quality of service received by men vs. women.Who do you think gets treated better?To be honest, I thought women would be treated better, but apparently, men get treated better. Apparently, there is a stereotype that women diners are stingy with the bill and tip less than men do. WIth that expectation already out there, I suppose it's natural for servers to automatically downgrade their quality of service to women.What do you think? Have you found this to be the case in your dining experiences? What do you think is the reason for it?
