In the comments to this post, frogmouth [High Praise!] sums it up nicely:
————–
Employee: I’m hungry.
Employer: Eat something.
Employee: What do you have?
Employer: Well…there’s coffee in the break room. And some donuts, I think.
Employee: Donuts?!? I can’t eat GLUTEN!!! Is the coffee fair trade?
Employer: Ummmm…I dunno. I think it’s Folgers.
Employee: Well, I can’t have that! What else you got?
Employer: There’s some fruit.
Employee: Is it locally sourced? From family farms? Grown organically using sustainable agricultural methods?
Employer: Ummmm…
Employee: Ugh! You’re no help.
Employer: Want half my ham sandwich?
Employee: I’m Jewish! And vegetarian!
Employer: Well, you should bring food you like, so you won’t go hungry.
Employee: You’re denying my access to food! You’re trying to kill me by starving me and working me to death!
Woo Hoo!
Bacon to frogmouth! (unless you’re Jewish and vegetarian, then Tofu bacon!)
There’s a vegan girl where I work. If somebody brings in something & puts it in the break room for everybody, there better be something vegan, or she throws a fit. One of the supervisors got pizza for everyone one day, even got a vegetarian one for her. She pitched a bitch. Yelled at him for getting vegetarian instead of vegan.
5of7….Tofu bacon?!? Don’t make me hurt you.
viking…I’m not saying I made any of this up. I’m a keen observer of human nature and can safely say things like that happen on a daily basis in offices across the country.
