I went on an audit that looked like I was traveling to the middle of nowhere. My second flight segment was a prop plane that took me to an airport with six gates. I then had about a 45 minute drive to the audit site. For the last 15 miles of my drive the only things I passed were open fields, boarded - up gas stations and an occasional mobile home. At 11:15 a.m., I pulled into the parking lot of the employer, a production plant in small industrial plant complex. After introductions with my contact, the first thing she asked me was if I had eaten lunch yet. When I said "no," she started to grin and laugh a bit. I asked her if I made a big mistake by not getting something by the airport. She replied, "Let me put it this way - When you go to the only place that’s close to here and order a taco salad because the restaurant is advertising it as the day’s special, the waitress may warn you that it is made with bad meat. She will also tell you to order something else, but to remember the restaurant policy that you have to file a complaint the same day you get sick and not the day after." Needless to say, I didn’t eat lunch that day.
