An open letter to the coffee-drinking buttholes in my office

[Popeye_Card]

I guess I've just never understood why coffee and tea is provided. I've always been a soda drinker and nobody provides that.

Not to interrupt the point of the thread, but that's a very, very good point.

Why is coffee and tea free and soda isn't in office type workplaces? This is almost worth starting another rant over.

Coffee and tea isn't always free. Some places have employees provide it.

But more to the point, coffee and tea store easily. You take water, add the coffee or tea, and you have a beverage. You can't do that with soda. Having soda requires having a huge fridge full of cold cans. So that's why you have a vending machine for that service. My office has other non-coffee/tea drink mixes also provided, such as hot chocolate and those individual Crystal Light drink thingies.

Bottom line, quit your [expletive]' and just drink the damn coffee.

What kind of coffee is provided free? In my office, there is free "coffee" in the form of single packs of Folgers so not exactly a big investment. In any case, I'm sure the company get's more than their money's worth in terms of increased productivity.
