I’m with a number of other FReepers here, I wouldn’t accept the offer of a drink in the first place.
And the offer of a drink or food in an interview would take points off of my opinion of the employer.
They might think they’re the only one doing an evaluation but they’d be wrong. :)
That is true.
Walked out of one interview and called my recruiter and told him that I was not interested in working for the company.
He asked me why and I told him they were not following basic safety regs. I am not talking about the "fill out the paperwork" bs but the actual stuff that keeps you from losing life, limb or eyesight. Few months later the place had what you might term an industrial incident.
