    It is pretty common for companies, at least in America, to provide free coffee to their employees via a coffee machine. I don't drink coffee so each job I have worked at I ask for free Snickers candy bars. No one has come through yet. Is it too much to ask that the minority (non-coffee drinkers) be treated fairly and equally? :(

    There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    How does this relate to getting free coffee?

    What about tea or water? How is getting free snacks anywhere close to free coffee? Fell free to enlighten us!

      I don't either. However, I'd rather have some other sort of snack or finger food.

        Let's focus on Snickers first. When we get that victory, we can expand. :-\

              Why? I also shudder when I only think of having to drink that brew.

                                      Are you talking about Snickers or coffee? ;)

                                          It is pretty common for companies, at least in America, to provide free coffee to their employees via a coffee machine. I don't drink coffee so each job I have worked at I ask for free Snickers candy bars. No one has come through yet. Is it too much to ask that the minority (non-coffee drinkers) be treated fairly and equally? :(

                                          This is what I call a "first-world problem". Buy your own damn candy (go to Costco or Sam's Club and buy big-ass boxes of them for less than retail). Problem solved.
