What's the best deal you ever got?
In my last job, I had expenses that were examined, to a forensic degree, by an evil, eagle-eyed bureaucratic prick every month. Failure to supply an explanation resulted in removal of the total from the staff bonus.
Despite this, we got on all right. Once I was on exes for a three-night stay, in an unfamiliar town, and had a 10 quid food allowance. I found that the restaurant I eventually chose had three basic price levels: the bare minimum, the in-between, and the downright scandalous.
Having eaten a (very tasty) steak sandwich, I asked for a receipt. And then asked for a duplicate. Because the receipt provided bore the legend: "Inter course - 7.95"
Made me a legend in the accounts department. Mainly on account of my supposed haggling skills.
