I do art things like airbrushing and caricatures at functions, corporate events and stuff but my managers said I'm really not supposed to accept tips? Why? Don't people usually get tips at functions. I don't know the rhyme or reason why I shouldn't. Does it just look bad?

I see what everyone means. thanks.
The clients don't pay me though they pay the company, but I see how it could be like being payed twice. I just thought if the guests really wanted to tip to show appreciation they should be able to, not that I expect it, b ut they insist. I totally see the negatives now

If you are working at functions, you should not be expected to get tips. The people attending are guests and your services are paid for.

As you are being paid to attend the function it is totally inappropriate to accept tips. It would just look cheap and there is no reason for you to be paid twice.

Because its not the type of job to accept tips. So many jobs think they require tips but they don't. That's like McDonalds or DQ trying to accept tips and they shouldn't if they ever start. You shouldn't because you already get good paid.

properly, maximum atheists will settle for mathematical proofs as properly, as any life like guy or woman could. that may not fairly the comparable difficulty as clinical evidence. In arithmetic, recommendations could be shown; in technological know-how, in assessment, any hypotheses would desire to be testable (and subsequently concern to disproof, if the evidence shows that such hypotheses are incorrect). different than those 2 strategies, i understand of no sturdy reason to settle for a proposition. If the president, or the pope, or whomever, tells me that the moon is made out of snow, working example, i'm nevertheless going to choose directly to study the evidence that helps this declare. Arguments from authority (which contains historical texts, regularly referred to as "holy books") are thoroughly non-persuasive to me.

It must be against their company policy. I work at a hospital, and we are not to accept tips, either.
One funny story... one time I took care of a stripper. I asked her what it was about that job that she liked... she said the tips were good. I said "the only tip I would get would be - HEY FAT GIRL, GET OFF THE STAGE!" HAHAHA!

you are already being paid
tip giving would then become a forced thing as people would see one person do it and feel obliged
i feel it would cheapen your companies image
but i would look to see that your boss is not cashing in at your expense, quite often when someone is employed to attend an event the planner/organiser will give a gratuity for the person attending, THAT is how people who do what you do get their tips, not directly in their hand, its done discreetly

Company's rule. I'm guessing you're not a bellhop, waitress/waiter, valet attendant, etc.
If you accepted tips in a job that does not require patrons to tip, then it would appear that you are taking a bribe, or something else.

No, people do not get tips at corporate functions. I've been to dozens and never seen anyone get tipped.

i agree that you should be able to accept tips unless gratuity is included in your pay already.....is the artwork you are doing being paid for by clientelle or is it a courtesy for an event to provide entertainment?

I dont know why they would object to tips. I can see not soliciting them or putting out a tip jar but grateful customers should be allowed to be generous if they are especially pleased
