Only minor ones, since a lot of minor office politicking does happen
around the coffee maker. I don't usually let it bug me. And I
stopped asking for tea at meetings, since while we have decent coffee
(Green Mountain), the tea they have is horrid Lipton teabags. If I
really want something to drink, I'll usually dip into my private stash
of loose tea (TeaSource in St Paul, MN, if you're looking for some
good tea).

It was a bigger issue at my last employer, since when I wasn't
drinking I got left out of the mid-morning Starbuck's run (there, most
of the major politicking happened on the way to/from Starbuck's).
