No kidding. I mean what do you expect people to tip you on? If you're a waiter, you gotta run around and carry my food and places back and forth and get me drinks and all the shit I want. Along with every other table you have. At a Subway? I just tell you what I want and you give it to me unless you're the "cook" too.

thts actually a good idea! i should try tht! thx OP!

agreed

So this is how I make money playing music on the street.

Its called "priming the pump"

That is true. I sometimes freelance as a bartender and by doing this you can usually get a great deal more tips...Also when the jar gets full take the overflowing bills and place them under the counter so that the jar is 1/4 to 1/2 full. People are more inclined to make the Jar full.

Fail

Not first!

OP, sorry. But really, I hope you...Go play. All it takes is 3 days per week.

agreed. maybe you should also improve the quality of service that you put out and maybe people would want to tip you. for instance: be polite and follow good hygene.
