Re: wasn\'t sure where else to put this strange tipping question ...
Dammit - it is NOT a numbers runner !!!
If ANYONE is familiar with the Philly area and the Mummers Parade, there are organizations/bands/brigades that participate in the parade and they do FUNDRAISERS all year long to raise money for costumes, club expenses, etc!
It's a legitimate fundraiser for the organization - each member of the club gets 10 or so tickets to sell for $200 each. If your number hits on any given night, you would win $200, thus I wouldn't think you'd have to tip. There are 2 nights during the 10 weeks that have large prizes, one is for $25k and the other is $50k. His number happened to hit the $25k night and was ASKING me if he should top his ticket seller -- JEEEEEEEEEEEZ, I would HOPE he doesn't tip his drug dealer too !
Oh, and he will be picking the money up from the PRESIDENT of the organization -- with the seller present, that's what he told me ...
So ??? Any thoughts NOW ???
