As Nancy said in another post, I also pickup doughnuts. I thought you were
talking about cooking. I've never had anyone accept an offer on lunch,
though the first few times I had workmen in, I did offer. I doubt the
majority of workers expect food, although beverages are often welcome.
Even that, sometimes not. LOL! I've even sometimes said, "if I like the
job you did, I'll bake you a pie(s)." Maybe that's incentive enough. :-)
