tight coffee makers

Who else gets offered lunch?[ATTACH]180820[/ATTACH]

 

Looks lovely, but how did you explain the broken fork?

Can't understand the entitlement to tea / coffee mentality. If you want a drink, take it with you; height of rudeness to expect it from your customer imo, shows disrespect too.

 

When they do offer a cuppa, it's usually rank anyway, watery or instant coffee

 

imo; not the majority opinion I know.

Oh it's not broken there's a spoon and fork under the plate

I guessed that, it was a poor attempt at a joke!

When its been a dry house and they come out to see how you're getting on just say "do you know if there's a cafe down the road ?" then say we're going off to get some drinks.

Even the tightest customer usually then takes down the order.

Just remembered, a while ago a client asked us what we'd like to drink,the usual teas,coffees, etc were asked for, and a new young fellow who ide started that day says, i'll have a beer if you've got one,and they did bring him one out. Had to smile at that.

If I know the customer and they are not forthcoming that day, I usually ask, 'is your kettle fecked?'

I used to work with a groundsman who's favourite way of us getting a cuppa was to knock on the customers door and ask them to settle an argument between us over what letter comes between s and u.when they replied t his response with a smile would be "thanks I'll have 1 sugar and my mate takes 2"

So if you have people working in your house/garden would you not offer them a drink?

 

IMO I'd consider that the height of rudeness.

 

I've found that normally for the people who have had to work for their money it comes as standard. It's the very well to do folk that seem to forget to offer. Not always, but it's certainly a trend.

Nope. Expectation from the contractor is ruder (imo).

 

Where has this unwritten rule about beverage provision come from?!
