Let's say I have two applicants, both recent graduates that are

The problem is that all else is never equal.

This coming from a ****wit that has never hired a person in their
life. I, on the other hand, who was involved in the hiring of over 500
people so far in 2007 see it all the time.


Yeah, but what do you know?

One thing to think about: Many of your visitors are, I expect, on business
trips. The IRS allows (1040, Schedule C) lodging expenses to be fully
deducted, but only 50% of meals. So to business travelers, meals provided
(e.g continental breakfasts) fall under "lodging", and are fully deductable,
making them more valuable than you would otherwise think.- Hide quoted text -

Hmm. I'll bet very few people know about *that* little loophole...

Thanks.

Really? You think it is coincidence that almost every motel in the US
now "includes" breakfast as part of the room charge? :-)

Good point, although that's been done more in reaction to competition
than anything else, methinks.

Some of what is called "breakfast" at motels (I.E.: Eating stale,
reconstituted frozen muffins with a bunch of guys who haven't taken a
shower yet) is enough to make us go running into the street,
screaming...

One nice part about being small -- the big-box McHotels can't compete
with our "delivered-to-your-suite" breakfast each morning...

Yes, I have no doubt that your breakfast is far superior to the normal
fare. I've had some motels that were pretty good with a good selection,
but many are as you describe above.

If my company stock keeps climbing, I may have an airplane by spring.
Maybe I'll get out to see your place and collect my room discount for
being 3rd or so in the suite naming contest! Then again, I didn't check
to see if that offer had an expiration date! :-)

I need to get the Slowdowner out there and pay full price.

The only people that are going to fully appreciate that little loophole are
the people traveling for their own business.

When I travel for the company I work for, meals are fully reimbursed. The
company is absorbing the 50% that they can't deduct as a business expense.
So, to me, included or not, it doesn't cost me a thing.

When I travel for my own business. I don't tend to worry about it. I don't
eat lavishly anyway but I'm gonna do what I gotta do. When tax time comes,
it's just a little annoyance to see that 50% slide off the bottom line.

On vacation? Comfort is everything. Feed me in bed anytime after 10, please.

On a business trip, time is everything. I'll grab a muffin and a cup of
coffe as I check out.
