If there is booze included, not abnormal at all.
Not lunch, but had clients out last week at Modern Steak. Four people and the bill was $998.00

Little different going out with valued clients in the evening than a meal in the middle of the working day with nobody important enough to remember their name.
Although, don't get me wrong, back in the day I expensed a lot of booze. The oilpatch I work in has changed quite a bit in the last 10 years, although some beyonders are still living that sweet old school lyfe.
related, I swear @killramos and @mr2mike would love each other. :hitit::love::bigpimp:
Everyones got their price...
Speaking of which, I need to have a word with my realtor about these lunches... :rofl:
I need to find some impressionable exploitation/development engineers if I'm ever going to buy these fancy lunches for anyone. #philphans just get water.
See I knew you were just cheaping out...
No tech company I have worked at in the past 15 years has given a shit about this. You had to be quite an entitled asshole about it to even get a warning. A drink or 2 at lunch is nothing and nobody would bat an eye. The last one that I worked at didn’t even ask for receipts if it was under $75.
But public service jobs on taxpayer money are a whole different thing.
General policy for me is I let the customer order first. 2 beers max at lunch. Always have food on the bill.
Generally around $50 a person.
Funny enough we have a very generous alchohol expensing policy but a very strict drinking in the office policy.
That's definitely not true
Supermajor producer here. 0 tolerance for alcohol during work hours. Yes, that means not even a beer at lunch.
After work events its pretty much wide open though. All organized events are open bar and for dinner a bottle of wine and/or up to probably 5 drinks per person would be OK.
