"I half expected to see a whispering, waistcoated gentleman by the door offering to scent me with a range of aftershaves on my way out."
I was reminded of the toilet scene in one of The IT Crowd episodes...
"I just paid a pound not to go to the toilet"
I usually find that the most pretentious companies have the fanciest toilets. Especially in buildings specifically designed for "customer engagement", i.e. "the punters won't seem so sore about that last price hike because they had a lovely time here".
