Beautiful people tend to have a lot more luck in the work world.
Research has shown people deemed attractive get paid more, receive better job evaluations and are generally more employable. It's even been shown that good-looking CEOs bring better stock returns for their companies.
In part, this may be because companies believe consumers are more likely to buy things from beautiful employees, which is perhaps why retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch use looks as criteria in their hiring process.
There's some evidence, however, that this worker "beauty premium" may be wearing off—at least when it comes to employees who interact with consumers.

We found that how close a consumer felt toward the waiter correlated with how they rated the quality of service they received. That is, if they felt distance from the waiter, they were more likely to give him or her poor marks. Furthermore, we found that people who thought the server was attractive but were themselves not good-looking—using our objective beauty assessment—were more likely to feel distance.

I think the scientific term for that cohort of people is called Haters
So apparently beauty can help you find employment, and be advantageous in high-powered jobs. But it can work against you in the service sector, because insecure ugly customers will project their animosity towards you.
