Daimler Sausage-fest Goes Sour After Shareholder Takes Extra Saitenwürschtle
Foreign Policy

How many free sausages does it take to satisfy a group of luxury car company shareholders at a meeting in Berlin? More than 12,500, it turns out.
Daimler, a German auto-giant and the Mercedes Benz parent company, invited 5,500-odd of its shareholders to a yearly gathering in the German capital Wednesday to celebrate the company’s highest-ever dividend and answer questions from its investors.
Things went south around noon, when it came time for the traditional lunch buffet, and one hungry shareholder thought he’d wrap up a couple of extra sausages and sneak them for himself.
