Hello everyone!
I heard that the masons are starting work today. We plan to bring the construction workers some drinks.
I was thinking of bringing 1-2 cases of mineral water and a few soft drinks like cola.
Do you think that would be appropriate?
Unfortunately, we can’t provide full catering like some do, neither financially nor time-wise (we don’t live right next door).
But I guess that’s not absolutely necessary, right? After all, we are not building with friends who work for free, but with a general contractor.
Still, we don’t want to have a “dry site.” Occasionally, I thought about bringing some sandwiches or cake as well, but maybe not every day.
Do you think this would be okay?
And would you also offer beer, or only non-alcoholic drinks?
Best regards,
Kati

Hello PyneBite
I don’t understand this. It’s probably a regional term for ?, well, what is the original term? Danish pastry, cinnamon rolls.
In which circles could this be misunderstood like that? I’m really curious.
Steven Hello Steven,
here is a definition according to the World Wide Web:
"The term 'Teilchen' is another name for Ecstasy."

Damn, I’m getting old.

This is a very good example that not everything found on the internet is accurate. It may be understood that way in "certain circles," but there is also the so-called context to consider.
By the way, Wikipedia provides an explanation for teilchen (pastry), but definitely not for teilchen (drug).

(I just have to hold myself together whenever my mother-in-law tells me about the latest damage to her car. She always says that a mechanic “bumped into her” in the parking lot...)

By the way, Wikipedia provides an explanation for "Teilchen" as a type of pastry, but not for "Teilchen" as slang for drugs. I just wanted to briefly point out that this term can be perceived differently. I didn’t check your ages, but I have known this term for at least 10 years through some classmates and friends, whom I lost due to heavy drug use.
Until now, I didn’t know the term applied to pastries as well—thanks for that.
But back to the topic: I would personally provide water crates and 0.33-liter (11 oz) glass bottles of soda, etc. The idea of including a coffee machine is pure gold.
