As life in Dane County comes to a standstill and businesses close as a result of COVID-19, people have begun to feel the strain as their work hours disappear. But for those who rely on tips in the service industry, Madisonian Philip Crawford hopes to keep the tips coming.<\/p>\n

Crawford, a local software developer and co-founder of the checklist service Manifestly<\/a>, heard through Twitter that a virtual tip jar had been set up for the service industry in Pittsburgh<\/a>. Workers there were asked to fill out a Google Sheet with their names, place of work, and Venmo or PayPal info. Customers could then access and tip them digitally.<\/p>\n

Crawford reached out to the creators on Monday and spent the next two hours setting up Madison\u2019s own virtual tip jar<\/a><\/strong>. He shared it on Facebook and Twitter, and his friends did the same. There are now over 1,000 names on the list, and it\u2019s growing by the minute. Crawford says he\u2019s received several emails from service industry workers, expressing both gratitude and ideas about how to improve the system.<\/span>\n

Lots of people are willing to help. It\u2019s just a matter of connecting with folks who are in need of something.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Public Health Madison & Dane County announced evidence of community spread<\/a>, which means there isn\u2019t a known source of the disease for 19 confirmed cases here and that precautions are now even more important. Gov. Tony Evers has restricted gatherings to no more than 10 people, ordering all bars to close and restaurants to run only on takeout and delivery. (When bars start closing in Wisconsin, you know<\/em> it\u2019s serious.)<\/p>\n

Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway released a statement<\/a> on Wednesday morning. \u201cWe are advocating at the state and federal levels in support of all workers,\u201d the mayor\u2019s statement said, \u201cbut especially those most impacted by this crisis \u2014 workers who earn low wages, lack benefits like sick leave, or (whose) industries have been shut down to minimize transmission of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further advised citizens to soften the blow by ordering takeout, buying gift cards and tipping workers well<\/a>. As service employees sign up for the virtual tip jar<\/a> by the hundreds each day, Crawford hopes they can find support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish them and all people who are temporarily laid off the best of luck in these trying times ahead,\u201d Crawford says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
