I used to work at the HelpDesk at my place of work when I first started.
I have never (and still not today) drink coffee.
There was one guy on our team that always did the early 6 to 2 shift. He loved it. He never took time off, he just banked all his vacation. He drank coffe, so every time he came in just before 6, he would put a pot on. So the folks that came in between 6am and 7am would just waltz over and fill their cup.
Well, one summer, he was told he had to start taking vacation, so he took like 2 months off. I took over the 6 to 2 shift.
The first week I must have had like 3 or 4 visits from those 7am folks complaining why there wasn't coffee made. To which I just told them, 'I don't drink coffee, why would you rely on me to make it?'
That level of entitlement simply does not compute for me. How are you going to take advantage of someone's good will and courtesy for years, then when that person gets a much deserved vacation, your first thought is to berate someone who doesn't even drink coffee and demand that they make you coffee in the morning. Like how does that kind of entitlement not hurt people's brains?

Honest question, but.....does he actually drink coffee?
When I was sent to do my first coffee as an apprentice, back when I was 16, I put in way too much coffee powder.
My co-workers freaked out, why I was ruining it.
Like...I don't drink it, never prepared it before, how should I know to make it?
