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

      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!

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

          This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

              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? :(

                                    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.

                                        You're racist against non-coffee drinkers. :thumbsdown: I'd love to see your reaction if they took away your coffee at work (assuming you drink coffee).

                                          Yes, it is; coffee is a common beverage consumed by the majority of the company. As others have noted, free Tea is usually available for non-coffee drinkers. You want snickers; Mary in accounting wants Twix; Fred in IT loves M&Ms, so soon someone runs around providing individual perks for folks who prefer custom FOOD to an offered free beverage. It is too much to ask, yes sir. Thanks for asking. :-O
