As some of you know, I earn my living primarily with my vocal chords and fingers, as a singer/guitarist, and lately, as a joke, have been using this sign over my tip-jar:
Since starting to use it, at every one of my performance venues (primarily restaurants), my tip-jar earns 2-3X as much as usual...consistently!
Today's gig, from 11am - 2pm, brought in (in addition to the $150 the venue pays me) an extra $71, whereas for the 3 years I've performed there (4-5X a year), I've averaged $15-20 in the jar.
Do people just think the sign is that funny?
Is the economy improving that quickly?
Do people REALLY hate Justin Bieber that much?
Some combination of the previously mentioned reasons?
I'm stumped as to why this silly sign makes that much of a difference!
Whatever it is, 'though, I can't complain...nor have I any plans to leave it @ home!
