It’s a great job for free food–vendors are always trying to woo you with samples. I would rather they directed some of that money into monetary compensation though!

Alot of people pass it up because they aren't hungry in that exact moment in time. To which I answer, save for later. There has been many a two lunch day for me, and it's always fun knowing it's free! I always go for the free/leftover food at work too.

A couple cold ones such as sausage and another for cheese. My favorites were the warmed food offerings. Sausage, mini-corn dogs, all sorts of different things. Then it was off to the butcher section where there was a warm food offering. One day it was chunks of spiced-up chicken. Roast beef was there at times. Toothpicks were used to spear the niblet and transport it to my mammoth maw. Eat 'em up, yum. Then, make the circuit again until I ate my fill. A free meal each visit. The corporate droids behind the deli counter often glared at me. Yet, they never said a word. Some of the glares were awash with despisement!!! That's okay, it just made me eat more. Sheeesh... those deli workers barely made above minimum wage. They were well-brainwashed...good little lackeys of their corporate overlord. Loyal to their masters, who had no loyalty in return. Aftr a couple years of fine feasting I waltzed in one day an lo!!! No free food. Anywhere. Asking about the lack one of the deli droids fixed with with her deadly glare and told me that due to abuse of SOME people that the free stuff was stopped. I replied with outrage that people would do such a thing then said I would have to shop at the store a few blocks away from now on since they still offered yummy tidbits. Never went back. I now shop at the competitor whose offerings are just as good and the stares and glares do not exist.

I may have at least one coming up next year that will pay a per diem rate, so while that'll be "free" food, it comes at the expense of being away from home. Maybe I'll count it at half the value... so I better eat twice as much. Brooke, my only business trips this year were conferences.

I would rather they directed some of that money into monetary compensation though! I estimate our Christmas party was about $100 per person, but it was more of an afternoon get together without spouses than a true party. I left after 30 minutes (after eating crab legs, shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops and other delectables). My company actually has a decent number of sponsored happy hours, which is awesome.

As for Fogo de Chao, I guess I could count that for 2007, but I fully expect to return the favor in 2008. :) CD, I didn’t really count the coupon B1G1s since I usually have to buy something to get something.
