There will always be folks looking to get something for nothing. They are the same people who complain to the restaurant waitstaff/manager about every meal in the hopes of getting something comped.

I doubt anyone would care about getting ice for the cooler in your cart. However, if all the folks currently buying ice were to go to the rec centers, they may not be able to keep up with demand, there may not be enough ice for rec center events and the cost of their water (and possibly our amenities fees) could increase.
Your spot on.Some of these people complain about food at the country clubs THEY ARE NOT HIGH END RESTS. at the prices they charge i expect no more then what I get sometimes very good and other times ok but i still enjoy going and getting out for such a small price.
