They flew her to their site and fed her as part of the checkout process? That is WAY out of my league. Normally my interviewers wind up rushing me out so they can make it to lunch at the buffalo wings joint.
I'd ask around (not at the place where she interviewed) to try to find out if that's just normal in that industry or if she was the only one so favored.
