]]> Comment on Tipping Musicians by Bunny snowden http://etiquetteschoolofohio.com/2008/12/12/tipping-musicians/#comment-22479 Bunny snowden Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:07:12 +0000 http://etiquetteschoolofohio.com/?p=297#comment-22479 Knowing that many musicians are dependent upon tips for income and are often not paid by the venue, I would say a $1 tip is not sufficient or acceptable - and even less so if the musician plays a special request. When you are in a restaurant or club where you do not pay an entrance fee, the appropriate amount to tip is the amount you would have paid to see the artist in concert, with $3 or $4 as an absolute minimum. If you find the musician worthy of a $20 entrance fee, you should feel good about putting $20 in the tip jar, or $10 or $8, etc. as you feel fit. If the music was not something you would pay to see, simply tip $3 or $4 politely as a gesture for their service and work.

I still think a few dollars tip is required, plus $1 per request played. I feel I should disclose I have worked in restaurant management previously. However, when there is a solo artist or duo or trio - basically anything other than a lounge pianist or mariachi-type group, you might be surprised how often the musicians' tips are their only source of income for the night - or the venue may pay a very low fee, even as low as $25 or $50 for the whole night, telling the musicians they can receive tips. The venue brings them in to attract more diners. Because of this situation, I feel they should be tipped more generously.

There are rules to help us do this. However, the rules cannot be followed 100% of the time. Occasionally, we have to go with the flow to make other people, who may not know the rules, feel comfortable. I have posted a guideline for the rules of the toilet seat. Do you have to follow them in your household? Absolutely not. However, you do need to agree with the people in your household on a rule that works for all of you. Pick your battles wisely. I'm not sure arguing about the toilet seat for 3 hours is the best use of time in the grand scheme of life. Etiquette is about respect and helping others feel comfortable.

Who said it was proper ettiquette to put the seat down? I just had a 3 hour argument because I forgot to put the lid down ONE time in the house I pay rent in, buy food for, pay bills in for something so simple as a woman looking at the toilet before she sits down. As a single man a great deal of my life, I'm used to my seat being up or even closed. If I have the sudden urge to urinate at night I still look before I stand, sit, or do anything so why is it incredibly difficult to do the same as a woman? I agree with the guy who said either both keep the seat closed or just lift/put the seat down/up before you use the restroom. This argument sounded like one person not wanting the responsibility of putting the seat down or not looking when they fall in. My whole thing is where did this come from?
