A friend and I accidentally caused a change in policy at work.
We used to have "Tech lunches" where our team leader would take us out for a lunch meeting and we'd talk about our projects and statuses.
A friend and I would often go to Applebees for lunch, and they had a steak fillet and salad lunch for $7.99. It was pretty good and cheap.
We went to this fancy place we never heard of for the meeting, and we both said "do you have a fillet and salad lunch?"
"The waitress said "Sure! We can do that!"
We ate our lunches, and then got the bill: we had filet mignons and Caesar salads, at $55/each! Our leader was afraid to turn in the expense report
A week after that, we all got a memo that lunch expenses will cover $12 max, and we'll have to pay the difference out of pocket. Whomp whomp.
