Bartending jobs seem to be based on looks sometimes?

So would you buy more drinks because the girl behind the bar is cute or the guy is cute? Really. I’m just trying to understand what looks has to do with making drinks in this world. Especially New York! And no, I’m not unattractive, but I am in my late 30s.
