Can I file a lawsuit against my workplace for serving coffee, but not hot chocolate?

Question

My workplace currently buys coffee, creamer, and sugar to the coffee drinkers at my work. They refuse to supply instant hot chocolate packets. I think this is a reasonable request. Can I file a lawsuit to get them to stop discriminating against the few hot cocoa drinkers here?

Answer 1

Yes, by all means. The court system needs more money. And your employer's attorneys need ridiculous cases to train new hires on.

Answer 2

I don't know... ask the lady that sued McDonald's for the coffee being hot.

If you and some coworkers like to drink hot chocolate, maybe those of you that drink hot chocolate can take turns buying big boxes of the hot chocolate packets and only share them with each other.

Though you can file a lawsuit for anything you want, not everything is lawsuit material. Frivolous lawsuits waste the courts' time and detract from those that are really serious and need attention.

Answer 3

Nope! If there is a coffee service they should provide a hot chocolate mix, If not,make a request to the office manager. But you can't sue your work place for not serving hot chocolate, If that was the case then they should suspend the health-care provider and purchase hot cocoa mix.

Answer 4

Because they won't supply hot chocolate?

You could try, but you would lose.

Coffee is a luxury in the workplace, not a demand. There's not law that states that a business MUST supply coffee, nonetheless hot chocolate.

Bring your own or prepare to lose the legal battle.

Answer 5

A better idea is to start drinking tea: loose tea. Get a hot water pot, get a nice strainer. It takes a minimum of 10 minutes to make a cup of tea this way. You get 10 minutes of paid time, you don't have to drink coffee, and they lose 10 minutes of productive time for each cup of tea you have in a day.

Once they see that they are paying for that time, they might be more open to your hot cocoa request. :)

A lawsuit would be foolish and costly.

Not to mention that whatever a company supplies is really a nicety, not a necessity. That's why I suggest making a time-consuming cup of tea. :)

Answer 6

QUIT! I heard some mighty big complaints against employers but not supply hot cocoa thats the worst. They are to be shot and dismembered for that discretion.

BOY you must have nothing to do if you are complaining about cocoa. GET A LIFE!!!!!

Answer 7

Grow the hell up.Instead of adding yet another burden onto an already floundering justice system with a frivolous lawsuit, just go buy some freakin packets yourself. You have to be a leftist Democrat!!!!!

Answer 8

Why don't you buy your own hot chocolate. They supply coffee as a courtesy. They are not obligated to do so. Is this the level of pettiness the world has come to.

Answer 9

If you are thinking about filing a lawsuit against your workplace because of this issue... you must be miserable at work. It might be time for you to go somewhere else.

Answer 10

Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves.
The new Declaration of Independence:
When in the course of human event it becomes necessary for one guy to want to spoil a good thing for all, and whine for hot chocolate. It being understood that chocolate is an inalienable right like life and liberty.......

LOL

Answer 11

No, you cannot file that lawsuit; it would be deemed a frivilous lawsuit and as such would be kicked out of the court room. Save the court's valuable time for things that truly matter, not stupid stuff like this.
