To make a long story short, apparently it is a common practice for various eating establishments to provide free food for sports officials, including the Burger King on my way home, where I have stopped probably a hundred times returning from games.
Is this a southern thing, or is it everywhere? For the record, this is not a practice with which I am comfortable.

If it is a "southern thing" then Virginia was skipped over. But if a restaurant is offering me free food then I'm taking it.
Now hospitality rooms? Well, depends on who your boss is. I have one supervisor who has made it perfectly clear that we do not utilize any hospitality rooms when working his games.
