Default Buying your Co-Workers a great Lunch for next to nothing.

Buying your Co-Workers a great Lunch for next to nothing.
---------------------------------------------------------

Years ago. I was a Computer Consultant for Shaw Cable here in Canada.
I would often buy muffins for the rest of the staff. Just to stay
on their good side. Anyway; one day I brought in 2 dozen huge
Tim Horton Muffins With Butter (Bigger and better back then).
By chance, the Board of Directors were meeting that day and
they all came out of the Board Room at 10:00 a.m. for coffee
and ate most of the muffins.

They hardly touched the meal brought in by the catering co.
Wrapped Scallops, Shrimp, Salmon and all kinds of fancy food remained.
The staff was allowed to have the leftovers. And there was lots.

Every board of directors meeting after that. I would bring in Muffins.
It worked very very well.

Give it a try. There must be many other circumstances, where putting out
good bait, will buy the less fortunate a great meal???

What an extraordinary idea! Just think: $20 worth of free salmon and who knows what else for a couple of bucks spent on muffins.

I think you're on to something, here...
