Is this too much to ask?
-
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? :(

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...

Are you trying to tell me you're experiencing difficulties arguing your point or are you just being an a$$hole? Inquisitive minds need to know! ;P Cheers!

Nope and nope. The point needs no arguing.

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.

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

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.

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!

I worked in one of Microsoft's offices for a few weeks on a project once. They used to have free soda machines until they found out how it was getting used up so quickly. One of the night guys would bring in a huge cooler and fill it full of soda and take it home every night. They stopped offering the free soda. Ohhh, but come to think of it, Microsoft did have free candy bars and stuff. I likey Microsoft.

Honestly, I bring my own damn coffee. In a big-ass thermos. I can't drink that frilly foo-foo shit they make here, and instead of belly-aching, I take action. :)
