I eat at Jersey Mikes once or twice a month and have been doing so for 10 years. Clearly, I like the food. Completing the simple report in exchange for my meal is fine with me. Generally, I do not work for food. But this is food that I regularly buy on my own dime. So, a $15 tax-free reimbursement thst psys for my meal makes sense for me (as long as the location is convenient for me).
On the other hand, I would only eat at Cinco Hombres occasionally on my own dime. I hold out for a reasonable bonus before I do one of those shops.
