Should He Tip?


NFL players are under a microscope on and off the field. They become public figures. Some of the attention isn't deserved. They can't do things without the public noticing.

QB Drew Brees had a situation that went viral which I thought was very unfair. Last month, he was at a San Diego restaurant to grab a take-out order of food. He goes there on a regular basis and poses for photos with the staff.

He paid $74 for his food and left a $3 tip. Someone decided to take a picture of the receipt and post it on-line. Brees was upset because he said it made him look cheap.

Is Brees obligated to throw money around on a take-out order? Is there a moral obligation for him to spread his wealth? The Saints signed him to a 5 year/$100 million contract. He has more money than he can ever spend, but I don't think he obligated to be a big tipper on a take-out order of food.

Where does he draw the line? Should he tip the attendant if he has gas pumped for his car?
