$55 per head for lunch? Seriously? WTF?
The budget for recruiting lunches this summer is only $55 a head. I know that times are tough and there is some belt tightening going on, but with rampant food price inflation, I seriously wonder how the hell I am supposed to go to a nice sushi place, Primehouse or Gibsons for lunch. $55 per person is a freaking joke. I went on 42 lunches last summer, I'll be damned if I donate my time when I can't even get a damned second mortgage from Joe's to start my meal. What a crock. I guess the economy really is in the shitter and it's just now starting to hit home for me.

I brought a bologna sandwich, bag of Doritos, and a banana to work with me today.
We all have to deal with it. I am sure your sparkling personality will win over prospects despite the fact you are eating at Denny's.

What the fuck do you eat for lunch that you would spend over $55 a head? I could see it being a problem for supper, but not lunch.

I like Primehouse. You tell me how I can get a drink, appetizer, lobster bisque, salad, steak and dessert for $55 without stiffing the waitstaff on a tip. Maybe if I went fillet and cut out the bisque and drank water, I could squeeze in under the budget, but then I'd walk out hungry and pissed off that I had water with my lunch. www.brguestrestaurants.com/restaurants/menus/PHC%20Lunch%20Menus%201-12-08.pdfI might as well just go to goddamn McDonald's. This is an outrage. |

Spartacusmaximus ate a 5 course steak meal every day when he was a summer intern, and now the new interns will be deprived of that fundamental right of passage due to rampant inflation and tightfistedness.
I'm trying to set up an eat off between spartacusmaximus and the kid who ate the ol' 110er last summer. It will be freaking epic.

55 bucks won't even get you past the appetizers at the posh places frequented by a raging elitist like myself.

I can't believe those assholes had the nerve to put Cosi's on the list of suggested restaurants. If I wanted to hang out with a bunch of poors, I'd take a cab down to the nearest homeless shelter.

Whine about only having $55 to spend on lunch, but if you weren't living in a concrete jungle where they sell $55 lunches, and had to actually cook your own meal or worse yet, kill your own meal, then you'd probably starve. I'd be happy with someone serving you a $55 lunch. And just pray the bottom doesn't fall out of your existence in a cesspool. It probably won't in your lifetime, so you can continue to 'live' that way without ever finding out what real living is all about.
Sorry about the rambling nonsensical social critique.

If/When "the bottom drops out"... and "soylent green" becomes commonplace, whom do you think would get eaten first? A) A sickly (because of no health insurance) "poor" that has been eating their Aldi's chips & "Red Pop" - slowly building up toxic levels of chemicals. B) A pompous ass that whines about being fed $55/day in food (not including their obviously ample breakfasts & dinners). I'd choose B. While A would probably have better "bacon", it's likely B would have a more marbled structure. |

While A would probably have better "bacon", it's likely B would have a more marbled structure. Oh no expos, I'm worried about a return to agrarian culture. How ever would I live? There is a lot of pressure trying to find a lunch under $55. Yeah, I could go to Chipotle or Potbelly or something, but deals don't get closed over lunch at Potbelly, they get closed over a nice meal at Gibson's. You guys don't comprehend the stress that working in such a tight budget creates. If I run over budget, I might have to come out of pocket. The cannibalistic poors would not be able to get me. I will be safely locked away in my bat cave high above the city. I will let them eat each other and thin the herd on their own. Then, after the one month supply of food that we have runs out, I will go out and find my meal. I ain't worried. |

is it true that BMCLFs are revoking summer associate offers previously extended to 1Ls last fall during on-campus recruiting?

Well that wasn't really my point. Like I say, I don't think it'll happen in your lifetime. I was just commenting that you'll spend your entire life eating $55 lunches and living in a bat cave and you'll never really get to experience what real living is all about. Real life doesn't happen high above the city, and it sure as hell doesn't happen in $55/plate restaurants with a bunch of fake people sitting around talking about fake things.
But anyway, let's say it did happen. The cannibals would loot, rape, and kill in your Waldorf Highrise first, because they'd peg you as one of the weak ones with all the jewels. They'd even eat the final three weeks of your month's supply of food.

Eff that. Work hard, play hard. |
