There's no such thing as a free lunch

So our friends at Ameriprise provided some people here at work with a free lunch from Qdoba. It was OK, I had the veggie tacos. Weirdly enough, I don't know what the value of my meal was. They gave us these "Ameriprise" branded menus that didn't have prices on them. They told us all about our "financial futures", and how we should give them our money to invest. It was sort of uncomfortable, because only eight of us went. The guy and the lady who "facilitated" the luncheon were super creepy and sleazy. They wanted our money and they gave us a bunch of literature (which I tossed in the trash immediately upon returning to work. The worst part is that I didn't think about the fact that these people would stick around to glad hand all through the meal. I seemed like a good idea when it was offered to me. In retrospect, I would have preferred to go home for lunch.
