From: Laurensurp@aol.com Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 22:17:35 EDT Subject: Tips To: balloon@balloonhq.com Sorry to bring us back to the tip thing, but I have a question: We frequent a restaurant that advertises a magician/balloon twister who goes table to table. He's fun - average - but fun (my kids can do most of the balloons he does - they're 5 & 6 LOL) Anyway, he does not wear anything that mentions tips and never do I see anyone tipping. So - from the tipper perspective, how would I know if he is working for tips (short of just coming out and asking of course) or paid by the restaurant. Since he does what my children can do (excluding the magic part) I am not overly driven to tip. I never work solely for tips so I am totally clueless to this. Thanks for the input.
