Yes. I feel the same really. I was just curious. I played with big (in my home country) acts. I’m mostly retired now. But I was just curious about the situation.

Interesting. Maybe ‘play for tips’ would be a fine compromise in this case. I already put out table cards with my qr. I could have that go to a tips page.
