If he is driving a big light blue van stay away from him. He is using the candy and his nuts to lure you in.

We had one at my old company. Luckily, I was in the back of the office so the thought of walking ALL the way to the front forced me to stay put.Chat Icon

No, we just have vending machines and a coffee truck. During the summer an ice cream truck comes too, it's hard to not be tempted by that happy little music!!

No..... we just have those people that come in with '90% off tix for a cruise around LI' or '90% off your next haircut at the salon around the corner' but you have to pay that minute and get a voucher you can redeem.

Re: office people - a candy man??

used to a few years back. Don't need candy man delivering to me. It's bad enough I know where the candy lives..I visit, I have directions, no need for the candy to come to my door.

I have never heard of something like this!

It would never happen at my job, you need 17 different pieces of ID just to walk through the lobby (and thats if you are employed there)!!!

Re: office people - a candy man??

We have an ice cream man in the summers on Fridays (company sponsered).

He has a little bell and goes through the building with his ice cream cones.

I love him and hate him at the same time.
