Or is some kind of long running joke?

When I did my internship, the cooperating teacher actually made me coffee every morning. That's how an alpha does it.

My nurses get me coffee. And run errands for me. Is this a bad thing?

In the medical field it's a little different. We make the interns do all the hard work while we get the coffee

In audit. Whenever we have to send out hundreds of confirmations, we get the brand new interns to lick all the envelopes to send them. At the end of the stack someone would walk up and let them know we had a machine to do that. Got those frickers good!

Watched as a friend and co-intern of mine was given a coffee order on his first day. It was so sureally cliche that I couldn't believe I was witnessing it.

And the interns, then, buy the med students coffee or food under the condition the med student actually goes and picks it up.

Public accounting is a definite yes. I did it as an intern and we had interns do it for us. I've also had partners offer and bring my team coffees after they made us stay past 2am before so it goes both ways I suppose.

I don't take mine just black and like it fixed a certain way. I'd never ask someone to bring me a cup.

They hopefully speak in complete sentences instead of gibberish. I'm 10 beers and 5 shots of fireball into the day. You should feel embarrassed that I'm calling you out.

As to the topic. We get our own coffee at the office. Someone makes it every morning, then whoever uses the last of it replenishes it as the day goes on.
