For nearly a century, thousands of cocktail waitresses in Nevada (U.S.A.) have been working in high heels, 40 hours or more a week. Then, when they are outside of work, they may wear heels a few more hours. So, these cocktail waitresses are in a class similar to the “devoted high heel wearer”, who wear heels in excess of 50 hours a week because they love to. However, it should be noted that the cocktail waitresses are different because they are standing up and walking around in the heels most of the time.
Now, consider some points that are not included above :
a) The problems with high heels are much milder with mid-heels. So, the cocktail waitresses who are complaining should be very grateful for that.
b) From a fashion standpoint, high heels go best with their skimpy outfits. Mid-heels are kind of border line. Flats simply do not mesh. So, the casino policy makes sense. Heels and the rest of their outfits, make the cocktail waitresses a sight for sore eyes and makes it much more pleasurable for one to gamble in the casino, especially while losing. However, I would rate the desire to travel as #1, desire to gamble as #2, desire to see shows with show girls as #3, all ahead of the cocktail waitresses for alluring me to Nevada casinos.
c) The more pretty and sexy the cocktail waitress is, the bigger and more tips she usually gets. So, it is in their own best interest to wear heels.
d) There are rumors that the cocktail waitress job in Nevada can earn tons in tips (and in some cases, fortunes in top casinos at tables with high rollers). So, compare what they make to what the police, fire fighter, soldier, trapeze artist, and other jobs that put lives at risk get paid.
e) In regards to the issue on eliminating the closed toe, it does not work with mid-heels. It takes a slightly higher heel height (3 to 5 inch heels) to make an open toe pump or sandal look as good as a closed toe mid-heel pump with skimpy outfits. (Note that the sandals should be equipped with ankle straps. Don’t want any shoes slipping off, while carrying a tray full of beer glasses.)
f) Is this matter all due to misfit shoes? We know from various surveys that many women wear shoes that are too small. Also, not all of the cocktail waitresses are complaining. So perhaps, those experiencing problems need longer and/or wider pumps. Have they tried Easy Spirit pumps, those advertised with girls playing basketball in them? They come with toe boxes that are a bit larger than pointed toe boxes and in various widths.

So i been in the buissness for ten years and counting. Yes our shoes are and should matter how comfortable they are. Yes we are georgous woman who allure you to come down spend your money and smile and say “Have a Lucky day.”Blah Blah i just wish someone would give a damn about our feet i searchedup and down the web and back and can not find a great shoe that i could where for 8hrs or more if needed. We do where what is consider policy but once forgotten about its back to the shoe that gets us going yes we do have a nice sexxy dress to wear a pretty smile to put on.So do you really think they are checking out our feet please. I think in any casino they should allow us to wear whats consider a comfortable shoe to us and as long as we get our job done why dont they base it on that. You know i recently got a write up for not having my name badge,picture and all taken by who better then survaillance and not once ever in the oh say years have i been praised for the great job i do with customers and my job performance. So if you really think about it im getting them wasted all lossend up so the casino can take their money and i get the shitty end of the stick when it comes to work performance. We are either to fast or to slow make up your mind.The new thing know is we are being replaced by that young pretty 21yr old because our 25years of this fancy so called life o a “Cocktail Waitress” is know over. Who really cares in the end……Anybody care to comment
