I hate hotel coffee for example, but that is my choice to have a higher standard. Shouldn't cost a company more money because of all this crap of I need XYZ or else... I miss the old days when people weren't so sensitive and sucked it up.

I bought sandwiches and coffee Tuesday morning from Starbucks to the tune of $63 dollars at 6 am for a group, and 1/3 of the group complained that I didn't consider their unique diet needs when I did this. Screw you and buy your own food.
