I spent some money in addition to a very nice tip for the partners at the two closest stores. I thought about the partners needing to get out of the store and relax at home, chill and Netflix. So items that help them do that were what I did. Unfortunately no edibles allowed.

People bring us donuts sometimes

I’m gonna be the odd man out here and suggest: Amazon or Visa gift cards, if a larger than normal tip doesn’t do it for you? If you must do food, consider something healthier, like fancy almonds or protein bars? Even a baker’s dozen bagels and cream cheese in fun flavors?

I get kinda bummed around the holidays that any and all appreciation gifts, both from customers/clients and from management, are junk food. This year I have a second job with an animal clinic in an affluent area and our kitchen is quite literally OVERRUN with fancy cakes, cookies, candy, crackers, and chocolate from our clients. As someone with sugar sensitivities and an eating disorder, it’s triggering: these foods are addictive and yet make me feel really sick when I eat them. :(

I think if you want to bring food, something that is prepackaged is best. Like maybe rice crispies, candies, etc
