So in the same comment you say you both have no idea what you're talking about, and that it's perfectly fine that those people need two jobs just to make ends meet because they might make tips at one.

Got it.

I go to sporting events as a worker, not a customer. I know work things, not how comfortable the chairs are or whatever.

And if you think that a job where you work a handful of days every year should pay enough to live on year round by itself...I really don't know what to tell you.

Weird, it's almost like you just noticed that people who do that need an extra source of income because their primary job doesn't pay them enough to make a living wage.

Congratulations, you've caught up to the entire point of the thread.
