... to paraphrase a "Pluggers" cartoon from a few years ago: I'm retired.

That is, when I finish mowing the lawn, I need to clean out the garage, fix the side fence,
and wash off the outdoor furniture. Then, after lunch, I'm sure she'll come up with more
chores for me to do...

So, yeah, I provide my own snacks!

(And, yes, I'm posting as an AC for a good reason !!)

Keep it classy Dice.

Coffee is certainly on the department, as is fruit, and the weekly department "fika" (coffee with some type of cookie, bread, etc) is on an employee on a rotating basis. But snacks as in cookies, candy? I eat enough of that crap when I get home, I certainly don't need it on a daily basis at work as well.

Should be:

I'm unemployed, you insensitive clod!

In one drawer we have cans of beans, romulan noodles, micro popcorn, ketchup, wasabi amonds, sesame sticks, apricots, two baking potatoes, tea and bubble gum.

In another drawer we have pistachio nuts, two flavors (plain and chili lemon), spicy seaweed, lifesavers, candied ginger, vegie chips and lifesavers candys.

I don't snack often, but am well prepared for the repocalypse.

In our old building we use to have a quite robust snack locker system with some of the bigger ones probably doing 100 dollars of business a day and well stocked with every imaginable sugary treat.
But when we moved to our new site the bosses signed a ‘non-compete clause’ with the cafeteria in the building.. I’ve seen less complaining about people being forced to do yearlong deployments to Afghanistan then I did the day our snacks died.
R.I.P.

"Generally the other employees." The Soylent Corporation is our town's biggest employer.

My current employer supplies unshelled peanuts, green bananas, and non-quite-ripe apples. The fruit, lame as it is, disappears around Wednesday of the each week, long before it actually become edible.

There is also a vending machine which sells generally toxic vending machine food. At least I can get Coke from the machine to ward off the afternoon snooze.

At a previous short term employer, the only viable caffeine source was chocolate. So not a good thing, especially since I was somewhat immobilized due to

It's closer to zero than full price, so I voted "On the house"

Snacks are generally all over my keyboard.

Who has time to eat between meals while working?!?!

Wait, I do know the answer to that one; the lazy! Seriously, I can barely pull away for lunch, and that's only because I made it a stipulation of my employment, i.e., I get a lunch break or I will pass out from lack of food and be useless the rest of the day, or get run down and sick and miss work.

Each floor in the building has an area with coffee (regular and decaf), a soda fountain with Coke products, a hot water dispenser, tea bags, sweeteners, cream, refrigerator and microwave.

No charge for drinks. Food is sometimes provided for meetings but aside from that typically not.

Many employees have candy jars or other snacks out for sharing.

It is always acceptable to be eating, though. At your desk, in a meeting, whatever. Bring your food if you need to eat.

I work at a university, and we don't get snacks, but do get a full cooked lunch for free from the dining hall. I find this incredibly generous, yet many staff do not take advantage of it, and others also complain that you cannot instead get a free sandwich from the coffee shop to take back to the office! Amazing.

Stacks at your desk are on you. But if I'm running a meeting that runs around lunchtime, I buy (from my own pocket) a collection of trail mix, dried cranberries, nuts, etc.

Does booze count as a snack? Our company fridge is currently stocked with beer and the cabinets with wine. We're low on liquor. Not due to supply, but demand. Everything is employee provided and pooled. For good reason. Grey Goose is good, but you don't want to drink the whole bottle by yourself at lunch. Much more fun to share.

Not much work gets done on those afternoons while we sober up before going home. We're engineers, we plan this stuff out.

We are people of the desk. The corporate culture here puts a strong emphasis on showing your work ethic by spending as much of your work day as possible chained to your desk; it's part of the Calvinist-style work ethic going on here. People rarely go out for lunch and only occasionally head down to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Mostly it's working through lunch at one's desk, eating while typing away or on the phone. There are two break rooms on each floor in the building, and they each have two vending machi

There is a free high end espresso machine, for which I provide coffee syrups so people can make lattes (since some use soy or milk or almond etc).

But there are no free snacks. However, most scientists around here bake when they get stressed, so there is usually some chocolate or cookies or some form of baked good every day or so.
