Tailgating at BMO Field

[LLB997]

At 15%, we are talking about tipping 50 cents on a $4 beer. Tipping or not tipping a kid who is probably doing this as a summer job to pay for university is even a question? How many beers are you going to drink? Four or five? That means you will have to part with a whole $2 after 3 hours of drinking and eating your own food.

A. you don't know how much the grunt guys make
B. you don't know if the tips are being shared
C. not everyone in this world makes the same money
B. if the grunt guys were riding the bikes and selling you the beers, you would be complaining that the Argos were too cheap to hire pretty girls to sell the beers

Tip the girl! I always hated the guys my daughter delivered the news advertiser to, who wouldn't pay, but demanded some 12 year old bring him the paper 3x a week.

first off, i've never tipped 50 cents on a 4 dollar beer in my life. I generally hand over a 5 and will do so if i make it out to the tailgate. If tipping is not generally being asked or displayed in some manner, i see no issue in paying 4 for the beer if that is how its being advertised and promoted by the club. I do not know how much the grunt guys are making (true) the same way i do not know how much the servers are paid. A pretty server doesn't make the beer taste any better so i could care less as pretty women in Toronto are a dime a dozen and free to look at if i so choose. I get your point though as servers deserved to make a living wage like anybody.

The guys at work were talking about the tailgate and their desire to go today. They're excited they can take the GO train and grab $4 beers before the game. They're 25 and under and the tailgate and BMO field has sparked their interest in going to the game.

Plants would be my guess.

[mchesher03]

hahah glad someone else sniffed that one out

who cares tho - every team in this city (probably except the argos) have at one time or another papered their attendance or whatever.

if it helps with the vibe and our owners seem to be big on getting the vibes back - I'm all for whatever.

Honestly can't wait until next Thursday!

[AngeloV]

Plants would be my guess.

At the risk of getting the morals police after me, I don't think they were quite hot enough to be plants. Good looking for sure, but plants would usually be really hot.

Would they want to be that obvious though?

I guess that's a good point.

I got my tailgating pass for the Home opener, Friday August 12th, Labour Day rematch against the Ti-Cats, and the Saturday October game against the Riders. I can't wait for the home opener. I will be in the Ontario place lot.

At the risk of getting the morals police after me,

That was offensive!! (What's risk without reward? )

[AngeloV]

That was offensive!! (What's risk without reward? )

Sorry Ron. I will try an be more sensitive going forward. I'll check out the Argos at BMO thread over at RPB's for some pointers.
