Sometimes my T will go to the cafe in his building to get a coffee or snack at the beginning of our session, before we start, and sometimes he asks me if he can get me something. A few times I have accepted and he has bought me a tea. Usually I just say no because I don't want anything. I don't mind him paying $1 for a cup of tea for me now and again because I pay him over a hundred times that for our session. After all, we may miss a minute or two of the session when he is getting our drinks (although he never shorts me on time and would probably go a couple of minutes longer to equalize). I do not feel beholden to T because I have let him get me a cup of tea a few times. I have paid this man thousands of dollars over the years! Just not a problem for me.
