>heard this same stereotype repeated by bartenders and servers on numerous occasions<

This is as it has always been: just another symptom of an underlying prejudice. Twenty years (and another career) ago, I was a waiter. The same lie was often repeated. I didn't believe it and it never seemed to apply to my customers. If I offered good service, I was rewarded with good tips. Often to the "astonishment" of co-workers who believed the canard.

This is no more complex than any other distortion attendant to bigotry. Prompt seating and proper service would, in fact, be a big step towards a remedy. Treat all customers equally (and treat them well!) and they will return respect and tips aplenty.
