Management: To reward you all for coming in today, coffee and donuts in the kitchen.

Me: how exactly is this an reward? Can't bloody well have either, can I? (well not without getting a bad case of the trots and shakes and jitters...at any rate).

Sigh.

Management: Leaving you with this quote -"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and
let each new year find you a better person. ~Benjamin Franklin"

Co-worker: Vices? What Vices?

Me: Coffee and Donuts.

That only works when you are ordering food and you know everyone's issues. This is a boss who decided to bring donuts and coffee to work - and was oblivious to my dietary situation. People forget gluten-intolerance or celiac disease because it doesn't register. I've told my bosses numerous times, they don't remember, but my work colleagues do because I can't go out to lunch with them most of the time and have turned down cupcakes and cookies.

Did have one boss who asked me and then made a point to bring me an individual fruit cup every time he brought donuts and cinnamin buns for everyone else - but only because he brought them literally every Friday.
And he felt guilty that I couldn't eat any of it and it was literally right by my desk.

Oh I'm sorry... because yes, it does depend upon someone taking the time to remember individual needs (instead of just their own convenience).
