    Beer Cart was brought out after the market closed on Fridays... It was usually enough for everyone to have two... some people had one, some had none, others brought the average back to 2 :lol:

    This is a new one for me too. I have never heard of a beer cart at an office. If I had I might have considered another line of work. And in the interview I would have definitely made this statement... "I only have one question for you. Does this job have the benefit of a beer cart?"

    i believe it was budweiser, of maybe busch that had a beer tap in the employee break room

    one of those companies used and might still,...memory is fuzzy....give every employee a case of beer each month....or week....as the case may be

    I love my job now but I do miss my old job where my boss would just come into my office and say "let's go to the bar" and he would treat all the employees to an afternoon of appetizers and booze.

    Those were the days!
  • unlost dogsunlost dogs Posts: 12,553
    No worries, Chad. I'm pretty sure that if there's any abuse, the beer fridge will go away.

    Looking around at my colleagues, I don't think there will be any abuse.

    I'm not sure they feel the same level of reassurance when they glance my way...

    It was a present from this visiting Chilean delegation, they didn't even need to bring anything really. Damn near all the guys were freaking gorgeous, that was a gift enough in itself :D

    We had this one guy here, rest his soul, he was so awesome, he had a bottle of Hennessy on his desk and every so often I'd notice it getting emptier :lol:

    I think there is a beer in the fridge here, but I will be a good girl lol

    It appears that the difference between the Beer Cart and the Beer Fridge is the limit.

    Beer Cart, it seems, limits you to what's on the cart.

    Beer Fridge, on the other hand, is quite large. And it also contains fancy sodas and boxes of wine. And there's even something champagne like in there.

    I love my job...

    i remember this one time...

    our boss set a goal for us

    we met the goal

    and she took all of us out to lunch at Claim Jumpers

    I had Filet Mignon

    and then she gave us all the rest of the day off...PAID
