[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're having the basement of our house worked on. Different subs are in and out, but there are two guys who work for our GC who are at the house 2-3 days per week. On Friday, one of them told my husband that it would be nice to have donuts.

I told my husband that I couldn't handle going to Dunkin or Krispy Kreme and circling back on top of the usual morning routine and maybe he could handle it...but I was a little irritated that the guy said that in the first place. Are people providing refreshments for workers? If I wasn't working an office job (work from home ended last month for us), perhaps I'd feel more inclined because I'd interact with them more, but I was surprised by the comment. [/quote]

Just... just stop.  Please.  Unless you asked them "is there anything we could get for you?" there's no circumstance where it would be appropriate for a sub or GC crew to proactively say they would like donuts... Again, if YOU asked then you opened yourself up to a response like this... otherwise its unprofessional to ask.

Do whatever you like, if anything.  No subs expect such things... but may appreciate some bottled water or drinks if you offered from time to time.  [/quote]
