Also if you were staying away overnight on business, and weren't hungry and just wanted to have a bath and hit the hay, should you call room service and order something just because you can? I certainly never did that, nor would I.

Allowances are there to make sure no one is out of pocket.

It's personal choice if you want to use them.
I'm not talking about having to use them Garinda and order a meal because you can

Just if you have had to use the expenses paid facility, then you should claim as opposed to not putting in a claim when you have had a meal, etc.

Think we are at cross purposes here.
