[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes.  Especially if it is an all day job, you supply bottled water and lunch.  I give a heads up I'm ordering lunch in case they don't want any.  Sometimes they just want to leave for a break.  I guess your guys prefer donuts.  Can't you buy day before?[/quote]

Did you see the part about her working? She’s not home ordering lunches for herself, she’s at work. [/quote]
