Default aloha generosity

so who here brings pastries or snacks when they pick up their tax return from a cpa firm??

I love the thought and generosity from these people, but we have 22 people in our office (half of which are audit, so were in the office maybe 3 days a month). As of right now there are 14 boxes of pastries/manapua/cookies......
We already threw away the uneaten stuff from mon/tue.

Its cool, im not a fan of wasting, so im just eating prolly 4000 calories a day

True....I've always love the Aloha spirit. As a matter of fact, I once gave a box of cookies to my favorite hooker behind pali longs....Ok, i'm just kidding but the aloha sprit still rocks

I wish we could spread this aloha pastry giving throughout the entire year lol. Its only like this in March and April, when a majority of people on coming in to pick up their tax returns.

Im in audit, its the opposite. were the ones bringing pastries and snacks to the clients' offices.
