Re: ridiculous etiquette freakout

[(Anonymous)]

I think arguing with a guest is worse than letting him pay for your meal. I'm guessing he was grateful for you shepherding him around, and also viewed it as a favor to him that you accompanied him to dinner.

I am a little troubled that he wanted to have dinner with you instead of your supervisor, though...I'd just make sure to keep everything professional, and make sure someone else drives him back to the hotel in the future.

Especially if you're a girl.

This whole comment! I couldn't have said it better.

You did nothing wrong, and if your boss chews you out for it then they're an asshole.

Please do be careful though!

He's leaving tomorrow, although I do have to pick him up from his hotel in the morning. I also thought the argument would have been worse than the extra $7 he paid for my salad.

For the record, my super is female, but the big boss who set up the delivery thing is male, and I was not in the room at the time (grabbing my purse and computer). Everything I know about this arrangement is from the guest, so the actual instructions may also have been different than what I got.

I think tomorrow you ought to call in sick, let your boss deal with it himself.

If I call in sick tomorrow I had better be able to produce the hospital bill, because that's when all the business negotiation is going down. And since big boss has no confidence in the guy's English, I need to be there to translate. FML.

I think you should call your super and let her know about it tonight. Someone else should pick him up tomorrow.

Nah, I'm okay picking him up. I never really got that vibe from him, and it's literally 5 minutes away from work and on a direct line between there and home. If they make me take him to the airport, though, we might be having words (and I'll blame it on the shitty weather being terrifying to drive in).

If you're not getting a come-on sort of vibe, then I wouldn't worry about any of it. You were polite to your company's guest, and that's a good thing.

Have you talked to your super yet? If you're worried, even about it being an etiquette thing, you should definitely keep her informed.

Re: ridiculous etiquette freakout

[flipthefrog.livejournal.com]

I did that the second I got home, yes. Hopefully the worst I will get out of this is another "how real-world business deals work (for dummies and humanities majors)" talk.

Re: ridiculous etiquette freakout

[writerserenyty]

This is exactly it. I think arguing with the guest would be worse.
