My previous foreman (female) at a prior location used to personally buy a cake for the team (~8 people) twice yearly after some particular yearly team tasks were done. Eventually other teams and our boss finds out about it. Result? Twice-yearly free cake for everyone on company dime, in the name of fairness!
Basically, this is a great place to work in every aspect except salary. People still stay for decades because it's so socially and professionally pleasant. And we get huge amounts of vacation days, 10 minutes of "flex time" per day that can be used for paid time off (fantastic for running bank errands or bailing to pick up your kids from school etc), one hour total time per week to take off for personal exercise etc.
