It's unusual to hear of a tip jar in the squares, but why not. The performers get paid by the stores, not TV, although the Entertainment Department hires them. They usually get paid much lower here than when playing in other venues in Central Florida. It is, however, a steady gig. So, I'd say if the entertainment was good, you enjoyed yourself, you requested a song and it was played, tipping doesn't hurt. Tip if you want, don't if not. It's a no harm, no foul kind of thing.

BTW, I've always given money to a band when requesting a song.
