Truth: To Gawk or Not to Gawk?
Gawking: to gape or stare stupidly
Recently I was having breakfast with some business partners. It was at a sports bar type restaurant. Everything was good, the food, the meeting, the company...very productive. However there was a waitress that wanted everyone to know she was pretty. It wasn't good enough I guess that she was pretty, she had to emphasize that by wearing a very low revealing top. It was pretty evident she knew what she was wearing, and what she was doing.
Needless to say, it became a topic. It just happens that way. But my interest was trying to figure out what this waitress was thinking. Does she make more money when she tramps it up? Do customers request her because how she dresses? What if she was the worst waitress in the world, would it matter?
I also noticed how guys were gawking. I found it interesting, not that they looked. But they didn't care if she saw them look. And she didn't care obviously that they were looking. Somewhere in this dynamic is probably a lack of class on both ends - the waitress and the guys looking. Who's really at fault here? The gawkers or the waitress reeling them in?
