Drifters Bar

[LivinInThe603]

My group went yesterday. Had a fabulous time, music was excellent.
There is one annoying part . . .
They pass the hat way too often, for bar staff, wait staff and for musicians.
Why not just charge a flat entrance fee? I'd prefer that��

You don't have to give every time, or at all... or just give what you would over a series of "hat passes", like 2 bucks at a time for a total of ten.

I always throw in a few dollars each pass, and maybe a little more if it's a guest singer I really like. Sometimes I wait until the end and put in 10 bucks. I've seen the money bucket poured directly into a backpack before, which make me think the money goes right to the band.

I definitely see your point of view, though.
