Elmo makes $400 a day on tips!

Did anyone else catch that story out of LA where an Elmo impersonator was arrested for harassing customers for tips? What happened was these impersonators would stand outside of tourist attractions and pose for and with tourists. Many people think this sort of thing is free. However, if Elmo doesn't get paid, he gets pissed. Three impersonators got arrested for scaring tourists away from famous landmarks.

I find this story funny as I am in a similar profession. Both Elmo and I believe that when a service is provided, a tip should be awarded. Although I said we're in a similar profession where we provide a service, there is definitely a difference in what I do and what Elmo does. But geez, $400 a day is insane! I'd do it!
