Yes it’s a business expense , which means its not my money.
My personal favorite, Hardee's "little thickburger" ordered without cheese.
You also have some great cafeterias in Texas--Luby's. I loved going to Luby's.
But you're not going to be able to stiff wait staff at "nicer" places without encountering unpleasant resentment.
I’m government and I know the going per diem rates. You get enough to tip the waiter appropriately and still make out like a bandit. You’re pocketing the money you withhold from the waiter, yet you lecture us from a perspective of conservative principle?
Please pardon me while I laugh in your face.
