Everyone that travels knows that you lose money on meals anyway (try eating anywhere in Hawaii for under $50 per _meal_, not per day). It seems silly to have to remember to get receipts for every meal, especially since mostof my travel is for conferences where there might be 20 people at the dinner table. Forgetting to get an itemized receipt will mean we travelers will lose even more money on meals than we presently do. -------------------------------- Note posted on 06/06/2008 by CORRIE JEAN FREE from Policy Update State guidelines increased meal tips to 20% and allowing for baggage charge, requiring a receipt for any charge over $10.00. -------------------------------- Note posted on 06/06/2008 by CORRIE JEAN FREE from Policy Submit To Administrative Division Policy Agent State guidelines increased meal tips to 20% and allowing for baggage charge, requiring a receipt for any charge over $10.00. -------------------------------- Note posted on 07/01/2008 by CORRIE JEAN FREE from Policy Update International meals do not have to have itemized receipts.
