[MR] who to comp or if

[Orla Carey]

I see your point and agree with it to a certain point.  Most places I
know only comp the autocrat and head cook, although the kitchen staff
usually gets to eat from the leftovers after plates have gone to the
tables.

One point though, supplies for an event and prizes should be paid for
by the event, not by private individuals unless they choose to
volunteer the money.  Even then you should keep the receipts so that
it can be written off on your taxes.

That's the only experience I have, but the last event was days of work before (making targets,) all day of event work, and hours afterwards returning targets to storage (no feast for me). Plus out-of-pocket for all supples including prizes. And what of all the others out there working all day? We may do all this because we absolutely love it and choose to - - but fair is fair and if you comp one group, another will want it.
