That’s a pretty tight margin, calling on the base to step it up.

I mean, I’ll have six, but fours a fair number.

You know he’s a Leaf fan:

wish those drunks would start acting the part and make some noise

 

[saltming]

What I take from that is our drinks are easy over priced

They are in any venue across North America.

 

[ZEBROA]

Are the drunks in Toronto richer then in other places?
Or is it just that 1967 was a long time ago and the hurt need higher dozes each year passing?

I dont drink so what do i know...

 

[Niagara Bill]

Looks like $22 to me, but does Chi have $14 popcorn to wash down. We all know it is the salty treats that causes the need for beer.

They do, just that most of them sit too high to hear them down low.

I took my wife to a concert beginning of September. When we got there went and got 2 drinks, a Molson and a smirnoff. I handed over a 50 and got handed back a 20. I was in disbelief. It's a problem everywhere

 

[ACC1224]

Are the Canadian Teams priced in Canadian and the US teams in US dollars?
That would close the gap I would think.

Most companies wont allow you to expense booze unless you got a Sales job and/or you get a food receipt.

You can also not give a f*** and have no money

why? fans are willing to pay the current price. so they don't believe it's overpriced. don't buy it if you think it's overpriced you'll see the price drop pretty quickly if everyone followed suit.

 

[Notsince67]

3.9 drinks per game? Advanced stats?
Maybe expected drinks per game.

Yeah that average seem way too high.

That's a good theory but people, especially the corporate, who write it off, don't care and will support it

That's not true at all.

 

[saltming]

That's not true at all.

Well if Jerry said it isn't
Seriously I know it isn't everyone but I know a couple people that do it. Take clients to the game and wine and dine them and write off as much as they can.
One way or another it happens to one degree or the other

Money still needs to come from somewhere. Not many have unlimited budgets. Companies monitor this stuff very closely and care very much.
I expense everything but it still comes out of my pocket. It just helps lower how much money my company pays in taxes.

Yeah companies can only deduct 50% of meals and entertainment expenses

If they have 100 in booze spent on a business trip they can claim 50 on their taxes as a deductible expense to reduce their income for tax purposes and have lower taxes liability as a result

Some people/companies may abuse this if there are poor controls in place. Varies company to company.

Your absolutley right though that in the grand view, these trips/entertainment expenses work only when the company is doing well and operating profitably or expected to make large profits over a period

During recessions/tight times these expenses are reduced quickly along with payroll (unfortunately, people lose jobs via massive layoffs(

I agree completely, but it still happens and some companies still don't have issues with it
