Can we just nationalize both Citi and B of A thus washing out the bond and stock share holders. Today we taxpayers have very little economic benefit and all the real risk.

I dont see how this changes the validity of the article. If the guy isnt using his name, and hes just ordering one meal.. He says "Citi Group" . To me that would imply that it is on a company credit card, or expendature. It would seem Citi Group is still paying for his meal, or should I say, the American peoples are paying for his meals. The magic password thing is slightly off, but the message in this blog still holds strong.

once again, I sure hope I'm wrong. You're entitled to your opinion. Let's not act as though this abuse of TARP funds by corporate recipients isn't happening at all. I only hope that companies getting government money find a measure of austerity regarding perks and bonuses until they've gotten their act together.

Joshua - I make dozens of credit card purchases each month that never require a signature. Below a certain dollar amount a lot of places don't care. Also, if he ordered and paid online, he probably clicked something that was the equivalent of an e-signature.

We're all having a good laugh at your expense over at Fatwallet.

You really should learn to think critically before you write a blog that makes you look like a complete moron. (granted, most of the replies to this blog are equally moronic...there should be a gullibility test to get onto the internet)

I'm being told by Cafe Metro that the fellow in question simply ordered online. OK, but unfortunately, in this case no money changed hands, nor was anything signed for or noted by the cashier.

Boy, do I hope I'm wrong for the sake of tax payers everywhere, but I know what I saw.

Full Disclosure: I love Cafe Metro and of course, I do not approve of anyone dishonestly getting a free lunch.

Umm Joshua? You are aware of something called "The Internet" and online ordering?

That fellow simply ordered his food online and PAID WITH A CREDIT CARD.

You just have to tell us your company name in order to pick up your food.

People are usually honest and do not come in here lying about their company name...

...until your stupidity encouraged it!

Way to go moron.

[...] about adding insult to injury. The same Washington D.C. that brought us the TARP fund and all the lackadaisical oversight that came with it now has a new way of raising the money to pay for [...]
