That is super exciting that you were chosen! While $180 is out of my own price range, I don't think it's an unreasonable amount. In addition to the quality of food and wine provided, the uniqueness of the event... consideration has to be given to the amount of planning, marketing, mobile kitchen, tables, chairs, staff and equipment needed to give a 5-star dining experience outdoors and away from a standard cooking environment.
...imagine these things happening in our workplace. Imagine being harassed and humiliated day in and day out. Imagine being shoved in the hallways or knocked in the head--never knowing when the perpetrator will strike again. Imagine sitting quietly, eating your lunch, and being knocked from your chair. Just imagine that as your head hits the floor, you go in and out of consciousness, as you feel blow after blow, to your head and face. Imagine being told that if you ever defend yourself--you will be fired--but your attackers are allowed back the next day or the next week--to do it all over again.
