My previous company was reasonable expenses, portal to portal. I got mileage to and from airport, lunch at the airport, etc. Heavy flyers could expense RCC memberships, but later reversed it and said you had to pay for it yourself. Our ops manager didn't buy my argument that I probably bought 5 sodas and munchables a week at the airport at $6 each. That's $30 per week just for snacks. At 50 weeks per year it comes to $1500. BUT, they won't allow a $400 RCC membership where I can get this stuff for free.

My other pet gripe was when I would go to ballgames when travelling. On one hand, it would be acceptable for me to go to TGIFriday's, and have a cocktail, ful dinner and dessert, costing $40. If I went to the ballgame and paid $15 for a hog dog and soda, I couldn't expense the general admission ticket to the game.

FWIW, I was responsible for multi million dollar budgets and project pursuits.

Dollars chasing dimes.
