I'm going to go.

I mean, it's free food, and if I drank, all of the free beer I can drink.

My former manager tried pulling some crap where we got $20 gift certificates for pizza (at the pizza place where we work) for attending a meeting that ended up being 2 hours of watching a training video I'd already seen.
