We had a March Madness happy hour on Friday night for work, and the bar required a $4000 minimum (plus tip and tax, $5000). I was hoping for a large crowd to eat and drink their way through that tab, but we only had about 50 people. With an hour to go, the wait staff told me we were still $1100 away from our goal, so we did what anyone would do - started bringing out trays of shots. Which no one ordered. But everyone drank. Cut to 30 minutes later, a few additional orders of sushi and some bottles of wine (nice job, ladies), and we ended up going over our budget by $300. If that's not pulling together for the team, I don't know what is.
Sidebar: did not realize Macallan 25 cost $90 a glass. Or that Don Julio 42 was $25 a shot. I'm just asking for a friend.
