Hot Enough For Ya?
June 11th, 2009
A simple behavioral experiment–
Become a waiter at a restaurant. Each time someone orders a particular dish which is labeled as “spicy” on the menu, ask that individual to fill out an evaluation form after he or she finishes the meal. However, on a random basis, when that person first orders, ask if he or she can handle spicy food.
the correlation was spotty, so i added another variable and secured a control group. my extra question: “are you easily swayed on a subconscious level by subliminal slights at your manhood from a waiter performing a psychological experiment?” the new curve fits like a glove. although my tip money has decreased…

ingenious! though i was just trying to test if people from new england could handle spicy food.
also you should make a shirt that says, “keep tipping,” with a cow falling over. that might help.
