BUT I'm not telling the Boss his catering is too expensive or no ice because the handler charges $50 for it, no matter how ridiculous it sounds
Maybe a cultural thing, but my bosses like to know that stuff. I tell em that this is an expensive place. Then they decide.
Works wonders for me.
Had the assistant of the CFO come up to me about the raised cost ex certain destinations and could tell em: boss decided AFTER being told the prices to have a friggin cold meal at 75 quid each plus 300 pounds delivery.
Ever since there is a refreshing silence on that front. And those little items aren't questionend any more as well....
