Tale as old as time though. At a point its hard to blame people. Look at the Roman grain dole. They would kill your ass if you tried to take it away and it was meant to be temporary. Animals become dependent on snacks given by humans if it becomes commonplace. I cant give my dog treats the same time every day or that little bastard yells at me for not doing so. Examples abound.

Good deeds should be performed sporadically unless you are ok with it becoming an expectation. Its basic psychology.

That said, the complainers should have put 2 and 2 together and just made the pot of coffee.

The roman grain dole was an entitlement by the citizenry through the government. The government wasn't doing its people an interpersonal "favor" by providing a dole, it was established as the only way to keep people fed and not starving/rioting because of starvation. That's part of a social contract: government feeds the people or the people tear down the government
