I was a pianist in a restaurant for three years, and I was paid pretty decently by the restaurant ~ $12 an hour. I ended up putting a tip jar up because people would just come lay money on the piano, and that just looks tacky. I took tips to be a gauge of how they enjoyed my performance. The nights i've earned successive $20 bills tells me that I'm doing my job right
