Each day, he can spend like $20 on food from a certain bunch of places, Italian, Mexican, and Chinese places mostly. So he always does, then eats the leftovers for lunch. My brother rules.
Coffee prices are at 14 year highs. People have talked about the effect of QE2 on commodity prices. To the extent that it has weakened the dollar, this is true, but many commodities are really tigbt from a supply/Demand perspective. Coffee supplies are extremely tight. Colombian supplies were tight due to a program to completely replant trees and several years of flooding. Also Brazilian crop/supplies were much tighter than expected. This plus continued increased demand in the usual consuming countries as well as emerging markets. Brazil has been a huge producer but per capita consumption not among the highest. This is changing. Brazilians are increasing demand as are emerging economies.
The coffee in the yellow can with Chicory in it is Cafe du Monde coffee from the famous eponymous shop in New Orleans. It is relatively cheap. Cafe Bustelo has a lot of bitter robusta coffee (African, Vietnamese, Indonesian) coffees and is strong and bitter. I love the coffee blends at Fairway. I got Brazilian dark roast beans there on sale over the weekend – 5.99 a pound. And REALLY good. They do their own roasting there, i.e. buy the green beans and roast in the store.
Also, if he works 49 hours and orders anyway, what are they going to do?
And if he works 60 hours and has his intern pick up dinner from Per Se (assuming they don’t deliver) they should still pay. (I am assuming per se is not on the list)
Maybe he’s really hungry.

The way it’s always worked at law firms I’m familiar with is:
1. If you work past maybe 7ish you can order dinner and bill to whatever client you’re working for.
2. If you work past maybe 8ish you can take a car home and bill to whatever client you’re working for.
My brother is cheap beyond belief to.
Dona, I remember when coffee was considered the most boring trading vehicle imaginable. Nothing EVER happened.
“If he works 50+ hours he can order dinner form a selected bunch of restaurants”
This makes no sense. You eat dinner once a day.
Never asked them to, nor would I.
Beats me how it works. My brother is cheap beyond belief.

What professional doesn’t work 50+ hours?
