Message: <blockquote data-quote="aramis erak" data-source="post: 8357338" data-attributes="member: 6779310">I've worked in a service industry - multiple, actually - but not ones where I got tips.  Fast Food, Education, Retail Management (of a music store), and Receptionist. (One of the receptionist gigs was in Mental Health; one was in the National Archives system)I've NEVER seen a check with a suggested tip. Not once. Not anywhere I've paid for a sit-down meal... Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Florida. The only suggestions have been at the register when paying by card, on the tablet or touchpad.Square does allow changing the 3 displayed. Same source, next section, rendered on same screen. Read your  sources carefully before implying that someone's a liar based upon them. And, as for game design... FFG, WotC, Paizo all pay a living wage for the in-house employees, but all of them also use freelancers, because it's not possible to pay a full staff of good creatives even on their budgets and hit their production targets. GDW, before it closed, did the same.  Fasa, too.  The biggest change in the last 20 years is the PDF version... Some indie designers (John Wick, Ken St. Andre, Mr Rahm, Mr. Hillmer, a few others) choose to set PDF at enough that they make more from the PDF than from a physical... often $3 to $10... but belowOthers price at half of the dead tree MSRP... because they don't want to reduce dead tree sales.Marc Miller does both - sort of... $35 for a CD (or, if you ask nicely, thumbdrive) with 10 to 80 PDFs...or $4 to $10 per PDF via Drive Thru. ISTR that MIf you want the maximum money back to the designer, you pay for PDF direct from the designer (if you can) or the publisher.If you want your FLGS to continue to exist, buy your dead tree through them rather than from Amazon or even the designer or publisher.The games industry is a no-win series of choices. Maximum value? Wait for a PDF bundle. Maximum Jobs, full price at FLGS. Maximum to designer/publsiher? PDF from them. Any way one goes, someone is losing out...</blockquote>
