Was talking with our coffee guy and found out we are one of only two of his 500 clients in the area that charge employees.

This is an outrage. I feel entitled and am considering calling Bernie.

Your office doesn't have free coffee for its employees? Yeah that's kind of ridiculous

Yes, which is BS considering we often brew pots for meetings with clients.

No, but it's terrible and not worth the 0 cents for it.

Quite the contrary. I'll drink a cup then take a poop. I get paid to poop.

No, but I can tell you that Coke employees don't get free drinks. (I'm not a Coke employee thankfully)

We have a canteen fund that they buy snacks, drinks, etc with. So they charge for everything to continue to have stuff in the break room.
Fairly reasonable prices, .50 for sodas, water, or coffee, .25 for little Debbie snacks. I rarely get anything except water.

Not everywhere, see above.

If they are going to charge, they better have some real half and half, and not that powered shite.
