I’ve got more news on the free food front and if you have any sense of right and wrong, you’re not going to like it. Taken on its own it’s extremely upsetting; coupled with what we told you earlier, it is a 1-2 punch to the stomach. Honestly, that’s actually sugar coating it; it’s worse. It’s like a punch to the stomach that knocks you over and then repeated kicks to the ribs and maybe (definitely) some bashing of the skull with a tire iron.* Credit Suisse has cut expensed late night dinners from $30 to $25. This, taking nothing else into account, is of course upsetting for the employees of the marginally more reputable Swiss bank in town. But what’s exponentially more devastating is that Goldman Sachs is now being out-eaten not just commercial banks but (sort of) big boy banks, as well. If we hear about someone in Stamford’s afternoon snack fund being reduced to $1,000 worth of Funyuns dipped in chocolate sauce, from $2,500, I’m going to lose it.
*I’m doing what I can on the imagery here, Gasparino was on the air and unable to help me out.

Truly devastating.
Now that you wrote it, Doogie will fall in line and cut it to $20. Can’t be seen as excessive!
gasp!
I hear shake shack is greatness.
Sarah Palin should become a commentator on CNBC if her political ambitions fail (as I hope they do). I imagine a torrid behind the scenes affair between Gasparino and Palin while they both spew their unintelligible nonsense on the air.
She could change her first name to Sarin, after the deadly gas they used in the Japanese subway. Post-wedding, she could be Sarin Gasparino. Who do you think squats more? I heard Sarin squats 450 free weights.
Meh I was fine with $25 at goldman, that still buys a ton of food from just about any place on seamless web.
@7– IT’S NOT 25 AT GS anymore.
Just more negative pessimism from liberals who hate America, and the troops.
Question the party ?! Question Jesus !
Thank god EP isn’t posting his garbage today…I love you Bess
@9 – is that the best you can do? What, did you not get your “Talking Points” memo from Karl Rove today? It’s tough coming up with thoughts on your own.
@8
Thanks for nothing.

Shake Shack is home to the largest rat population in Manhattan.
Deese ees NOT awesome
I am homeless. What is eating?
The Obama campaign is handing out free hamburgers for all who make less than $250k a year. John McCain’s campaign is doling out freedom fries and soda to those making $1,000,000 more a year. And somewhere out there this post is going to get some whackjob from the far left or far right all worked up. I am writing in Newt Gingrich.
I will continue to expense my steak, and my MD will continue to like it.
I guess we’ll have to throw a few more names of random file room employees to cover the sushi bill

Your comment did not go unappreciated fyi.

Challenge. Check out any fast-food place on 8th between penn station and 42nd street, just off the top of my head.
Where’s the short call on Seamlessweb/delivery.com btw, anyone underwrite puts, anything?
