Bribed by dinner?
1I’m old and other people know it.
I’ve been getting flyers in the mail:
Be Our Guest
For A Fine Dining Experience At Ruth’s Chris or Spaghettini
Where, in exchange for dinner, this guy will get a chance to pitch life insurance and annuities at me. (As opposed to the fine American tradition of people selling their souls and information in exchange for a free email account.)
Anyone here have any experiences with this sort of thing?
I expect it will be lower pressure than a time share sale. I’m inclined to sign up for a Chicken Marsala dinner as Spaghettini. Though it’s tempting to ask for the Filet at Ruth’s Chris and point out that our President likes his steak well done.

I tend to avoid that type of thing when there is no way in hell I am interested in the pitch.
All you’ve got to do is convince yourself that there might be some valuable information offered. Or conversely, with annuities, tell yourself that the guy is trying to rip people off, and that you’re taking revenge on the scoundrel, financially.
Another thing to keep in mind: you probably won’t have an open menu. These things usually have pre-arranged choices (for example: 3 dishes to choose from: beef, chicken, or fish).
