    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.

    Same here (non-coffee drinker) - we have tea for that, but I do not drink much tea either... I will check for snack - never thought of it...

    Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

      Don't bother, non-coffee drinkers are notoriously illogical!

      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                            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.

                                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

                                    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? :(

                                    My office used to have free soda/pop/carbonated beverages before the economy went south. When things get back financially, it's supposed to be restored. Until then, I'm supporting my own two can a day habit!

                                      Many, many, many years ago I had a job working away during the week, Monday to Thursday 5 of us would live together where one of the directors and his wife also lived in a separate apartment. Each morning she made us a cooked breakfast. Each lunchtime he brought in to the office a selection of sandwiches and other snacks that she had made. Each evening she would make us dinner. We were also given beer and cigarettes each evening. It was great. They went bust at the end of the contract.

                                      Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

                                          Not to mention those who want cream, milk, half & half, skim and sugar, and sugar-alternatives (e.g., splenda), in their coffee.
