I don't agree with lawyers fees being paid for either by the government either.

I get the sense that you don't work in a position where client relationships matter. If I take a client out for dinner, whether or not we talk for more than 5 mins about business, it's taking time away from my friends/family. Instead, I'm spending time with a person I barely know, or maybe sorta know, or hell that I don't even like. And I'm using that time to drum up business for my company, and not for my own personal bottom line.
Guess what, if I'm going to be doing this, I'd better be at least compensated with a damn meal.
Also re: misogyny. Do I get points for calling Stelmach a dumbass?
Edit: Had to look up what See You Next Tuesday meant. Conclusion: That's way too much work to throw such a stupid insult!
Edit 2: And can we really call a dude a witch as an insult? Witches are female. I suppose we can use Warlocks as the male equivalent?
