Did anyone else witness the elderly African-American drink vendor go off on the crowd between sections 6&7 during the second half? It was strange. He went into an absolute fit about "bunch o' cold-hearted cheapskate rednecks, etc". Odd sales technique. Did anybody see what set him off, I mean other than the fact sections 6&7 are full of cold-hearted cheapskate rednecks?

I'll say this. If the item costs 4 bucks, you hand the guy a five and don't
tell him to keep the change, you are a cheap piece of ****. If you can't afford it, then walk underneath and buy yourself a coke or bring your own stuff.
You really gonna make 12 people pass you your dollar back down the line?

The vendor used several clever rhymes when he was standing at the portal. He was shouting things like "Don't leave your seat, I've got you a treat!" My friend, who was sitting two seats down from me, was impressed with his salesmanship and decided to buy a (four dollar) bottle of water from him.
I passed him her $5 bill and he pocketed the extra dollar. My friend said, "Ask him how much that water is?" So, I asked him, "Is that water $4 or $5?" To his credit, he begrudgingly admitted that it was indeed $4 and then simply stared at me. I then asked, "Can she have her extra dollar back?" That's when we all became "a bunch o' no good, cheapskate, rednecks"...and the mayhem ensued.
Some other words were exchanged, and he didn't make it back up to our section.

So wait, if the above scenario is true, this all occurred over a $1 tip on an item that was brought to your friend by a stand vendor. Good for the vendor. He should have composed himself better, but he wasn't necessarily in the wrong.

God forbid someone want their change. But I forget everyone is entitled this day and age. But its cool because of the ole "that's how they make their money" act. Nevermind the ******* used racial slurs to paying customers. He should have gotten thrown out on his ***.
I was right there when it was happening but
I didnt know what was going on. I thought he was joking at first but then I realized he was serious. It was very odd to say the least

I would typically tip the guy the extra dollar, but
If he was going to be presumptuous and stick it in his pocket without offering me the change then I'd probably ask for the dollar back too. It's not his until I give it to him, punk.

Yeah, I mean I will grant that the guy should probably be tipped (begrudgingly, b/c $4 for a bottle of water is a huge rip-off), but he doesn’t get to just assume that he is entitled to the $1. I’m guessing that if he had offered change as he should have, then he’d have been allowed to keep it.
In certain instances when you pass down a $5 for something that's $4 you shouldn't expect your dollar back. It's not a bar. The last 10 people that handed him a $5 gave him that extra dollar. If you're going to be uptight about your $1 then carry ones in your pocket. He has to work quickly to make money. Is it really necessary for you to make him go through the motions of pulling out your change just so you can say "nah you keep that". It's a 17ing DOLLAR you cheap 17s.
The exact same thing happened between sec 4 & 5 during the LSU game. It wasn't the old dude that shouts "don't leave your seat for a treat", its the younger guy, late 30s maybe 40. He stuck the five in his pocket and started to walk off. guys says "no change huh" and he went off and blasted everyone sitting their. It was a really uncomfortable scene.
This all day. Like when gratuity is already added to a table of a measly five. You screwed yourself. Most would leave a lot more if you didn't insult them, by adding it before hand.
Disagree. He shouldn't assume that she was going to tip the $1. Most people would give it to him, but not after he was presumptuous enough to just pocket the extra money. Tips are earned, not necessarily expected. And that's a 25% tip.
Tip = to insure promptness. Didn't know that until I took Goree's class. I have a totally different perspective on tips after learning that. If a guy came to your section and handed you a water that's worth a $1 tip. If you didn't want to spend $5 you should have got your *** up. You pay extra not to have to miss the game. This is how the real world operates, maybe not in a town of 100 people in Mississippi.... But everywhere else.
Well 17 me, i am a pretty good tipper and I didn't even realize you were supposed to to the coke dude. Guess they've hated my ***. Suppose I should take some coins for the guys near the bathroom.
Haha, "racial slurs." Can you clear something up for me? Are you a child, or a crotchety ole coot? I wonder because surely an old man would know what a slur is (you clearly don't), but you've still got that old man "people these days think everything should just come to them" bit goin on. Are you benjamin button?
Y'all should have beat his *** for calling y'all a bunch of rednecks. He basically did what no white vendor at a SWAC game would ever do. Can you imagine the shitstorm if a white dude dropped "the word" in reference to a bunch of cheapskates at a SWAC game. Definitely should have reported him to security and made sure he never worked in the stadium again.
Spoken like someone who has never worked for tips before.
Or understands how the business works, for that matter.
If you have a problem with the price, take it up with Aramark or whoever is in charge of concessions. Don't stiff the guy because you don't agree with the pricing. I bet you don't tip bartenders that "just opened a beer."
