This afternoon we had a lunch for a co-worker who is retiring; I was picking up the tab on behalf of the company. Not one but two people had their significant others meet them at the restaurant; one was a husband the other a girlfriend. After lunch, we all went back to the office; well, except for the tagalongs.

Is this an acceptable practice? I didn't say anything, and picked up the whole tab, but this seems kinda iffy. Maybe not outright sleazy, but definitely strange.

What should be the protocol for this? My charter was to buy lunch for a small group of people who had worked with this guy.
