The $0.87 Lunch: How One Manager’s Penny-Pinching Backfired in Hilarious Fashion
Picture this: You’re at work, slogging through emails, when you get not one but two department-wide messages about an upcoming event. It’s not a new project, not a groundbreaking announcement—just a simple farewell lunch at a national burger joint for the president’s son, who’s wrapping up his summer internship. You might think, “Well, at least I’ll get a free burger out of this.” But not so fast! In this tale of office absurdity, the only thing free is the entertainment value of watching management pinch pennies so hard they squeal.
Welcome to the world of “No Free Lunch,” where managerial miserliness, epic email overkill, and workplace pettiness collide in a story that’s equal parts jaw-dropping and hilarious. If you’ve ever wondered just how little goodwill a boss can buy for under a dollar, buckle up—this ride is worth every cent.
