    I actually think they get more beer than anything. That is what guys always take them. I try to think of both the under age shop rats and the people who just don't drink.

    I had someone tell me I shouldn't take cookies because they weren't healthy and someone who is training wouldn't want them.

    Yeah - I thought about taking a healthy version also. But I would venture to guess that during the holidays AND the 'off-season' - they just may indulge a bit.

    Oh, yeah, beer is not on the training menu, but cookies are.

    Use them for service and am happy. I shop online, sometimes in store when they have a sale or I get a gift card. So I vote only when I have to. But really it's BACON!

    I smelled bacon frying in a diner that I passed on my commute and I couldn't help but think of this thread. Mmmmmmmmm.
