The VP came chasing after me.

Let me grab it.

Nope.

I am going to talk to him.

No you aren't. Just leave him alone.

I got the coffee. Set it on his desk and went back to my office.

Smart kid. Bit of hick. Grew up on a farm out in south/west Illinois. First generation white collar. I actually like him. No reason to light him up. But it has become a pretty good bit in the office.

Back to the board

        It's sort of my normal thing to ask our young people to grab coffee downstairs when I have a few open minutes. Just talk to them...whatever. I walk by one of the interns desk... - By xcheck August 19, 2026 at 10:52:27 AM
        
        To be fair, I usually don't have any idea WTF Gen-Zers are trying to say, so it doesn't surprise me that they don't understand what we mean when we talk, either.* - By Cap August 19, 2026 at 11:32:34 AM
        
        I’m curious of how this played out. I probably would have just got him one at that point * - By MichMatty August 19, 2026 at 11:13:13 AM

        In my day, the first instinct would be to say, "sure, sir, sorry, would you like cream and sugar?" * - By Rich August 19, 2026 at 11:20:18 AM
