Lol! I actually told this story to a client of mine, but many years ago I used to work for a very...lets call him a 'heavy' man. Think about 350+.
He'd take everyone out for lunch and he LOVED buffets. I like the selection, but I'll never eat the 'value.'
And that drove him nuts!
So I just told him: "I'm not doing this anymore. I'll take care of my own lunch."
If you didn't have at least 3 heaping plates he'd berate you for wasting his money. I cant eat that much. Not to mention...this is lunch. We've still got work to do this afternoon.
Ugh...that was awful. Made worse by the fact that the guy was so demanding of all of the staff...it was quite uncomfortable.
