Freebies for Everyone

Ever notice how some people will snatch up free stuff even if it's lame, unuseful, and/or harmful? Prime example: when I first joined this company an email circulated about the snack vending machine being removed due to lack of use. Then the company started providing snacks in the employee lounge on a monthly supply. I watch from my fishbowl view office as employees carry two handfuls to their desk and hoard them like squirrels stocking up for the winter. Is it appropriate to go over when the employee lounge well has run dry and say, "I couldn't help but notice that you bring about 4 bags of Doritoes and Peanuts to your desk on a daily basis, can I get some of that snack crack?"

I've even heard people say they do cocaine but only when it's offered and when it's free. Ha! Yeah man I'll eat whatever, take whatever, and snort whatever as long as I don't have to spend my precious pesos on it.
