Summary
An Arizona woman, who claims to be a psychologist, shared a tip on TikTok for servers and bartenders to increase their tips. She suggests saying the higher number first when making an upsell, taking advantage of the anchoring bias and primacy effect. The video has received over 105,000 views, and some commenters have shared their own tricks, such as removing the choice altogether or using the Sullivan nod.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Saying the higher number first is now a “psychology hack” to get more tips. Because, clearly, it’s not just about being honest and transparent with customers. The “secret” is out, and now everyone can use this “trick” to make more money. The anchoring bias and primacy effect are just fancy terms for “people are easily influenced.” And, of course, the Sullivan nod is just a subtle way of saying “buy more stuff.”
The routine arrives with confidence, and the lifestyle enters the chat, where people share their own “tricks” to get ahead. Because, in the end, it’s all about making that extra buck.
