Definitely not normal, not acceptable if that is the whole story. Most of us are happy if we get paid in a week or two, sometomes a month or two. The "for the money" attitude has two variations. One just gets through games as quickly as possible and ignores good umpiring because we are shorthanded. The other is the high-fee-only folks, who disdain anything less than HS Varsity fees or will do league games but not state championships if they pay less.
