There was a ROBBERY in our office today.

In response to the "Fruity Friday" organized by the World Cancer Research Fund, the office held a "fruit party" today during lunch time.  We were all informed to join.

Actually before this lunch party, there were activities to raise fund for this campaign already.  In the 1st week, Admin Dept. sold fruit in the Reception area:  $20 for an apple / an orange, $10 for a banana etc.  In the 2nd week, Admin helped to order "healthy" lunch set:  salad cup, sanwich & fresh juice at $60.  OK~  It's for charity so I spent $100 for a set yesterday.

When I was about to enter the conference for the fruity lunch today, Admin told me that an "Admission Fee" of $20 was required.  Wasn't it a robbery?  They had never mentioned about it in the various e-mail communication and all in a suddent, they robbed each of us $20 for the lunch.

For charity, $20 is nothing.  But we should have been informed beforehand.  We had not prepared our lunch and it was raining damn heavily that we could not go out for lunch.  What should we do?  Wasn't it a robbery?
