You could offer them some Red Rose. Remember the commercials?

Only in Canada, you say? Pity.

Wolfie, are you trying to arrange for me to be totally jobless??

I walked in there one day carrying a cup of Tim Hortons tea, and the then-Assistant Manager looked at me and said, "You're fired."

Hey, it's comfort food.

[wolfie]

IIRC, your employer sells "to be prepared at home" tea, so it's not a direct competitor of Timmie's (which sells "ready to drink" tea). It would be more of a career-limiting move for someone who works at Kara Thrace's to show up with a cup of Timmie's.

You are right about that, wolfie; however, management still does not want us to be seen -- while on the job -- imbibing anything from a competitor. That would mean Timmie's, McDonald's, David's Tea, etc. Our drinks sit out on the counter and are usually visible to the public, so if a staff member did come in with something from any competitor, we are expected to plop the cup, or pour the drink, into one of "our" cups.

Nothing like an upper-management with a stick up its collective ass.

Things I'm not allowed to do;
Tell my boss if he keeps treating me like his PA, despite my MSc in Engineering, I will f#cking quit. (the money is nice, the team is nice, the sexist talk and non-technical work is pissing me off big style.)
