One user emailed me about a problem and I replied with my usual:
"Let me grab a coffee and i'll be over"
She offered to fetch the coffee for me if I came now.
Whilst fixing it I playfully mentioned she should suggest it to her collegaues as a far to get me there quicker.
I went back to my desk and thought nothing of it till someone later appeared at the door with a coffee and asked if I could have a look at something.
Trick is to make them think they are getting something more by doing it when your just really doing your job.
Since they make extra effort I make extra so i gues they do get more out of me but its a fair trade off.
