SubmittedService industry workers across the world are
already being hurt by social distancing recommendations and the economic
effects of COVID-19, and many servers, bartenders, and other industry folks are
being told they may not have a reliable source of income for a couple of
months. Many of these people rely heavily on the tips they receive while at
work.We’ve built a way to support our bartenders,
waiters, and servers while we are hunkered down at home. It’s simple and it’s
totally free. This will not completely solve our neighbors' financial
challenges, but we have been told again and again by our server and bartender
friends that it is a great morale booster to see a sign that someone cares.How It Works:If you are able to tip:Go to <a href="https://serviceindustry.tips/en/ks/hays/">https://serviceindustry.tips/en/ks/hays/</a>. We will present you with a randomly selected worker in the
service industry from the Hays area and show where they work. You can then send
them money directly with Venmo or Cash App. We don’t charge a fee and don’t
collect any of your data.We suggest tipping the first worker, so everyone
gets a turn. Or you can refresh the page to see another name.If you are a service industry worker:Go to <a href="https://serviceindustry.tips/en/signup/?city_code=HYS">https://serviceindustry.tips/en/signup/?city_code=HYS</a>. Fill out a simple form to be added to the list! Then, please share

Tenn., by Dan, Donald, and Galen, with help from Matt in Denver. The purpose
of this service is simply to allow people to support those who work in the food
and beverage industry, or those whose income is largely tip-based, during the
COVID-19 crisis. The site is rapidly growing. Select your city and fill out a simple
form to be added to the list.Our reach is rapidly expanding with a presence
in over 100 cities across 48 states in the US. In the last week alone, more
than 55,000 tips have been sent across the country. Brooks Barber is the volunteer administrator for
the Hays area. As of Friday afternoon, Hays, Lawrence, and Wichita are
currently covered by ServiceIndustry.tips.For more information, visit <a href="https://serviceindustry.tips/">https://serviceindustry.tips/</a>, or contact Brooks at <a href="mailto:brooks.serviceindustrytips@gmail.com">brooks.serviceindustrytips@gmail.com</a>.
