Why do customers never offer drinks? I have loads of customers and only 1 or 2 will offer a drink. I can spend hours fixing a machine and nearly drop before I end up going to the shop for a drink.

It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual. -
i have no customers offering anything. if they have a water fountain i use it. if i know the customer doesnt have one, i stop at a store and get a bottle of water before making the call. -
I try to but sometimes forget. I think we should strip the machines down and then not put them back together until we get a drink.It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual.Comment

Dunno about the UK, but most offices in the States have soda machines in a break room. Or, techs here keep coolers in their vehicles.“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” (Isaac Asimov)Comment

I have several accounts where they keep a coffee mug in the break room with my name on it. I do not expect anything from any of my customers as they are paying my salary, but when they offer I find that it is usually after a few visits to repair their equipment and we get to know eachother a little better.Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.Comment

You're a tech. Gotta do a little RECON while you're there. I've never been shy about using the water cooler, or even helping myself to a cup of coffee if they have cups. If I see bagels or doughnuts, I'm on it. Always do a loop around a larger office. There will always be a breakroom with at least water and vending machines. No one will say anything to you filling up your water bottle, at least no one ever said anything to me. Consider yourself a temporary employee at any place you are working.Kevin900Comment

I very rarely accept but it is nice to be ask, especially on a hot summer day. I know when contractors are working for me I always offer. You would be surprised what a kind offer can do. When we first moved into the home we live in now, my wife would go out and give the guys picking up trash cold drinks on hot summer days, and there was nothing that we would set out that they would not pick up for us. In the Army, they have retention people, who's job it is to get soldiers to reenlist and they have all kinds of free stuff to give out. I had one office that the guy in charge would give me a shirt or coffee cup or something every time I would show up, even to deliver toner. When he left he told his replacement to take care of me. When they moved into a new 6 story building all the copiers were supposed to go into public copy rooms. I found a loophole and got their copier back in their room. They and the General are the only ones to have personnel copiers. All for a few t shirts and coffee mugs.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
