Met the branch manager in a hotel room stocked with an array of food and other treats. He already knew me and wanted me for the position so It was just a formality to give him another excuse to travel from Georgia to California and spend the Japanese expense account money he was always keen on getting back into the U.S. economy.
After some glad handing and chit-chat we enjoyed the catered lunch and lots of alcohol (which he was very fond of). He later used his expense account to entertain me in a local gentlemans club. He bought many rounds of drinks and paid several young ladies for lap dances for us both.
