Nah, if anything I was the one who came off as harsh in this one. No hard feelings given or taken. Ugh, this is my fault for not explaining myself clearly. All that stuff I said, I wasn't trying to get at that Mordecai and Rigby need to be punished per say. They're twenty something adults, they're past being grounded or something. It's more a matter of facing the music if they get caught out, like anyone in the workforce would. They used up their work time doing other things, so the most direct consequence (other than being fired) is them paying with the free time they would have used to buy and eat those burgers. If they were tactful enough they could have gotten around this, but hey their boss is a pedantic control freak, sucks to be them.

Also, I get what you're saying, like maybe Benson could have let them buy the burgers but have it so that they could only eat them after finishing their jobs. But the guy had a chip on his shoulder. To him it was probably a matter of principle; if his employees weren't going to respect their work schedule, why should he honour their lunch breaks?
