It never ceases to amaze me how people with bitch about free stuff.
I used to work for a large tech company. Once per quarter they had a big meeting to talk about the company/earnings etc. It lasted about an hour and when you went into the meeting room they had chips, sandwiches and soda to drink. This meeting didn't take place during lunchtime so you still got your lunch break and every time it seemed like a lot of the people bitched that they didn't have the right kind of soda (they also had water) or the right kind of sandwich or something. It just amazed me. They could have done nothing.
