I'm there to do business not preoccupy myself with trivial matters like searching out cheap food. I don't scrimp on food or room quality just so I can scam a few bucks on my per diem.
My attitude is the same as yours, but I end up paying for some stuff myself on business trips. It's the worst of both worlds when meal per diems are applied to each meal individually with reimbursement capped by that amount but based on actual expenses, receipts required.
