Bible Thumper, being the considerate and good Christian that she is, is dragging us all to get sushi for her last day at the office. Sushi is a TERRIBLE choice because (a) LOTS of people don't eat it, and (b) it's expensive. So tempted to ask her WWJD.
Because I'm pretty sure Jesus would pick burgers.
Post Script: I think The Jesus was on my side because the sushi request got derailed and we ended up at a place where they don't make you pay to get salmonella. Amen.

Stop complaining. Just say thank you when someone takes you out
Hey, 'Anonymous' (if that's even your real name): In the real world, when someone invites you to lunch, you get stuck paying for your own meal.
Get a clue.
I guess I have been stuck in school way too long but if what your saying is true then I apologize
The ole "oh I have an allergy to fish" seems to work well when going out to places you don't want to go. That or " i have a lunch date with my sadistic personal trainer."
and i would LOVE to know what friends Anonymous has that are taking her/him to lunch and PAYING FOR IT so I can make them my friends too. because i have never been invited to a lunch I didn't pay for unless it was my mom.
Looks like I have started the controversial topic of the year with this post! (Does this mean I'm famous? Anderson Cooper, call me.) Let me clarify.
Actually, the firm was paying for the whole meal, which is always nice. But what irks me about Bible Thumper's decision was that she demanded to be taken to an expensive restaurant for her "goodbye lunch" when we've only been working at this place for six weeks. Plus, sushi is sort of a love-it-or hate-it kind of food. Is it really wise to drag your bosses to a place they don't like and then expect them to foot the bill? Some self absorbed law clerks might think so, but those of us with half a brain might try to be more prudent.
In other news, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I did have to endure yet another day with the Bible Thumper. And no meal is worth that.
