Running around w/the tip jar irks me...

Was at Cellars for dinner, beer and a pita pizza, no room to sit so doing it standing up and a women picks up the tip jar for the couple of old guy bluesy band playing and runs around soliciting tips. I dunno, that kinda irritates me, don't do that. Don't know if she was with the band or not - there seem to be a whole group there that were together. If I like the band, I would have thrown $5 in or something, but not before I've actually listened to them. Pet peeve, I mean I get it under some circumstances, eg, crowd watching/iistening to a street performer but I dunno, that just bugged me.
