Why would you pay for your food and then also pay for the person who brings it to you? Isn't that double paying for the same thing? I hate tipping too, but that's how the system works. Restaurants pay servers $2.13 per hour and expect customers to tip for the rest of their pay. At the moment, that's the way college athletics works too. Fans buy tickets to games, yet the universities and NCAA also expect fans to compensate the players. Maybe it will change someday. Until then, join CougConnect and tip the players. It helps us get better service.
