I don't get why we are portrayed as cheapskates so often.

10% of our income is already gone. Harder to donate to other things.

That's assuming full tithe payers. Also assuming Mormons don't make more.

Utah always ranks #1 in charitable giving. That isn't a coincidence and it is

The effect is the same: money isn't being spent on--since this is CB--BYU...

Surprised to see Arizona as least charitable, given the LDS population there

When you have to buy shirts for you and your 12 kids, cheaper is better.

Mormons seem to spend in interesting ways vs the general populace

Mormons don't seem to tip either. My parents and siblings refuse to tip

tipping culture is meh, and I tend to tip around 20% or more frequently

+1. I tip for actual sustained service over time, not simply taking orders

Probably because you don't drink beer at the game

You mean squishing into cargo vans, wearing cargo shorts?

Because costs really add up when you multiply it by 4, 5, 6+ times for children.

With a $50k donation you can get 50 yard line seats in LES. I can't imagine a donation of this size would get you
HarlemCoug

It's really insane what you pay in a SEC program for seats
SouthernBlueBlood

50K??
Cougar Insider
6/27/17 3:22pm
I could be wrong but I'd guess that the seats in section 34 weren't available by the time it was a $10k donor's turn

I don't know about the east stands. I never consider sitting over there

It's analogous to the education rating, on a per capita basis

Oversimplified, LDS household income is 45% of similar non-lds household income

Wait, you really think the avg lds household income is $50k??

Not at all. Just a number that easily shows the %.

I doubt the waiters give very good service when they say, "Oh Crap!" the minute
JAGA97

Would you give the same service if paid half and treated bad?
Cougstreak
6/27/17 4:24pm
At what point do you know you are getting a bad tip and being treated bad.
JAGA97
6/27/17 4:30pm
So true. As soon as you say just water, many servers decide how theyll treat you
