To Tip or Not to Tip...

I own a venue. I pay my tier, I purchased almost everything that is in that club. I run it on my own.
I have live musicians on SL who perform at my club twice a week. They don't perform for free. Usually, I pay for their fee week by week. Very rare do I get a sponsor to cover it for me. Not complaining. If I was in SL to make money I would be in the wrong business, unless I added strippers and dancers and had deejays there...but that's not what I had in mind for the club, so I don't make money.
I don't have a problem with the performers themselves. I do enjoy having them in my venue. I enjoy their music, and THEY DO make money. They get their fee, on top of most of the tips. Why? Because of the patrons. The patrons tip the performers more than they do the venue, if anything at all. I am truly grateful to those who do spend a little linden in donation or tip to my venue. They are who give me reason to keep the club going. They show their appreciation for me having the venue, and for the live music for them to come and enjoy.
Unfortunately, it is the ones who have no problem tipping the performers, but do not tip the venue. If it wasn't for the venues these performers wouldn't have a place to do their music, and what would you do then? Why are you only tipping the performer? Is the venue not good enough to receive a tip too?
Do you really think I don't notice you don't tip my club? It's almost like a slap in my face. I'm here enjoying something you paid for but I'm not going to tip you. You didn't do anything after all...hmm?
So, what I am doing now, is tipping the venues more than I will the performers. There's got to be some fairness in it all. The venues don't make much money, I bet their tips don't even cover the performers fees!
Bleh.
