I made the mistake once when a young couple, as we were ready for our break, if they could buy us a drink and what drink did we want. I made the mistake of saying to the girl that I'll have what she's having. At the end of the night, I had several sloe gin fizzes on our table.
If any band I was ever in had put out a tip jar, I would have felt like a DAV sitting on the sidewalk in NYC passing the hat. Never was going to happen, never did happen.
