Let me clarify:  I don't think the head cook and crew should ever pay for a 
feast.  The site fee is another matter.  Usually, cook and crew don't eat the 
feast, so there's no economic burden faced if they don't pay.  On the other 
hand, when I lived in Isenfir, I payed full fare even if I was cooking, 
autocratting, etc., because our group needed the money.  Two different 
circumstances.
