Lunch at the Dealer

Someone has been posting food questions lately. Since my window regulator went out on a cloudy and rainy day . I went straight to the dealer. Upon arriving, I realized it is lunch time and the repair only takes an hour or so and i decide to wait around. BUT the only thing they have to eat here is powdered coffee creamer or liquid coffee creamer.
What refreshments, if any, does your local dealer provide?

Good days are gone, realchef. My local dealer, Valencia BMW, used have gourmet espresso machine that dispensed variety of single serving drinks at the old dingy place. After they relocated to state of art facilities, they won't give out nothing. I couldn't even find water fountain.

Every time I go there to buy parts and pay with debit card with pin number, they ask me for ID and signature. I asked why that was necessary the heavy chested asian receptionist says that it has something to do with bad economy.

Good luck finding refreshments.

I've once been to a Lexus dealer, they had croissant sandwiches ready during lunch time for customers to have a bite.

haha the VW dealer sends customers to the Toyota "discovery center" across the street, where they have a bistro.
Maine Dealer -> not even coffee
NH Dealer -> coffee and soda
I recall seeing some type of food at hendrick, though...

Let me update, they did have an airpot of coffee, hence the snacks (creamer) and I noticed on my way out there was a bowl of water on the floor with 3 dog biscuits. I didn't feel right eating them and left.

My BMW dealer has one of those coffee machines that lets you chose from:

Bad latte to bad cappuccino to bad mocha to bad straight coffee.

Lexus, last time I went there had fresh baked chocolate cookies and so did Mercedes.

Another Luxes dealer I go to has a free popcorn machine and bottled water and a soda dispenser..
