Depends on what padding they are doing. I pad my bid (overestimate what I will
need for food and underestimate the attendance) to make sure we make a profit.
Some people have to do that because their coffers are so low that they cannot
afford a loss (we can usually afford a moderate loss). Other people simply tack
an extra .50 per person on to make sure they don't lose big. It's a small amount,
and I see nothing wrong with it. As long as we're not talking about tacking on an
extra $3 per person, it's not that big a boost in the fee to expect a fuss over.
