Let me clarify for those of you who work when the store is open: we do not normally have overnight anything. Not truck, not plano. Thus we are used to being able to go buy something, whether it's food Ave or McDonald's down the street or frozen stuff. You can think it's crappy of me to call it crappy food, but not one person on our team eats basic cheap white bread and cheap sandwich meat. It's not that kind of area if we aren't buying at target it's more trader Joe's than walmart. At the point is revealed that's what was bought you can eat that and blow your diet or starve. There's no get out of the building because nothing else is open to buy food from. The etls ordered from an upscale sandwich place. At least $100 for the tray they got, more if it was cookies and sandwiches, or pasta salad as well. I know the pcards were used to buy it, i know it counts against the same budget. The energy drinks we bought ourselves, three 2ltr sodas were provided by our tl. We have a filtered water fountain.
It's normal to get hot delivered food first night and maybe last night of a week overnight set. Our etl-log had just promised us we'd be taken care of this week, we only found out our tl was buying herself because the gsa checked her out and expected to requisition it but was told otherwise. We always thank them, but it's demeaning to say thanks for food you can't/ won't eat.
Regular fun events we earned $800 4th quarter for a redcard goal challenge, so we have plenty in that account. We haven't done anything for the team except birthday cake day and that's normally included in the base bones budget. It's just overnights we expect the usual and get surprised with nothing or a poor choice.
