I am a solo performer and will often put out ye olde tip jar, when it's cool with the venue/host. Right now it says "TIPS" and underneath it says "(Thank you!)"

Would it be a bad idea to put "AKA Grocery Money" on it, instead of "Thank You"? It's true - I do put my gig money toward groceries. I'm wondering if people would be more likely to tip if they saw that, or if there's some reason that it is a bad idea.
