By your logic, all your meals are FREE because you get a per diem. No. The per diem, like your uniform allowance, are items that were negotiated for and were weighed against other compensation items, and neither are enough to cover your actual expenses.
Tailoring at JB is not free. It is not being a Negative Nancy to state the facts, however you seem to think anything that isn't a glowing endorsement of JB or anything that corrects your factually-challenged posts is negative.
Anything that does not come out of my pocket is free to me. Sorry if that is a concept you cannot grasp. JB pays for it, not me. I do not pay for uniforms. I do not pay for tailoring. I do not pay for jet fuel. I do not pay for hotels on overnights. All of those things are no cost to me, therefore free to me.
As for the bolded statement, both are more than enough to cover my actual expenses. Perhaps your spending habits need a review?
