To want my sticker?!

Travelling for work early today with five other colleagues, fairly new to the job (so I don't know everyone -that- well yet.) The six of us are split between two cars.
Supervisor decides we should stop for a quick McDonald's breakfast (would have preferred drive through personally) To grab a coffee so he could go over some route details with the other driver due to road works we didn't know about.

Anyway.

I purchase my hot chocolate, everyone else gets lattes and tea etc when one of my 'esteemed colleagues' (a man in his fifties) starts waving around the little rip-off sticker collection from his cup and exclaiming
'Stickers! Give me your stickers I want a free coffee!'
Whilst making grabby hand motions like a child!

Basically if you get 6 stickers on your little piece of cardboard you get a free drink, I probably wouldn't have cared too much if he was driving us/had asked nicely but he got quite huffy when I shook my head and told him I had already stuck it on a previous collection and I was actually saving them up myself because I do frequently seem to get hot drinks from McDonalds.
I was quite cheerful about the whole thing and nobody else seemed phased but he literally rolled his eyes and huffed before sulking back to the car! Confused

Am I being unreasonable to have scuppered his plans a free coffee? He's making a point of ignoring me and has sort of drummed up a bit of an atmosphere!

What a cheapskate. Yanbu.

Did you buy the coffee yourself or did he?

If you did then it is your sticker natch.

FelineEleganza · 29/05/2017 07:09

@AlternativeTentacle we all bought and paid for our own!

He's a twat. Ignore him.

I hope this isn't the first of many annoying personality traits you're going to find out about the longer you're in the job. What a big baby.

YANBU
he's displaying awfully childish behaviour.
just ignore . and yes, he's shown his colours.

What a childish prick. I could understand saying nicely/jokingly "if anyone doesn't want to collect the stickers I'll have it" but five year olds do the demand and grab thing, not adults on a busines trip

Hard to believe that a man in his 50s, presumably working in a professional job could behave like this!

Just treat him as though he actually is a toddler and ignore his bad behaviour.

What an arse!

Had he already bought himself a drink and was hoping to get another one free?

ArchieStar · 29/05/2017 10:34

You bought it, it's your sticker. He needs to grow up.

RainbowPastel · 29/05/2017 10:54

Did you know you can get a free refill every time you get a hot drink?

Bettyspants · 29/05/2017 10:57

You have a fun day ahead of you!!
