Associates...How much for Coffee ???
 

Hey Guys

Following my last post regarding staff benefits......

Imagine my dis-belief when the powers that be, took away free vend and made coffee 15p per cup in the office.

Is this the case at all locations ?

Cheers

It's 15p in Maxwell Road, Glasgow

Alternatively you can get a cup of half decent stuff in the canteen for 50p.

They did this in Matrix Court last year too :(

Yeah, 15p for a cup of icky luke-warm stuff, and a massive 60p for something drinkable from the canteen!

Apparently the idea of charging for the coffee from the machines was a result of "associate feedback", although I have to wonder which "associate" had that bright idea. Presumably someone who never works late and doesn't need the caffeine.

Well when I worked at Wythenswhae ntl it was 16p a cup before the fire. After the fire they made it free vend.

did it taste smokier after?

at teesside its 15p from the machine for coffee , 10p for tea.

At the canteen a cup of good stuff is only 40p :)

15p in Winnersh, 80p in the canteen. Bromley's 15p too. Both taste like mud dissolved in battery acid.

:rofl: actually no but we had no canteen for a few days :(

The bacon sarnies were all smoked though.

Its like a health kick here in Leeds.....

All on the water till they find some way of charging for that.

As soon as the toilets get chargable I'm outta here.

I am just down the road from the main one Milkman call in here and i will only charge you 5p for the loo with free toilet paper :D

If memory serves, when I was at Hook and they started charging for tea/coffee the managers chipped in and supplied us teabags, coffee, milk and sugar

If I remember, the posting on the group intranet gave details that if they charged for the drinks, they could save enough money to keep 240 jobs during planing for growth. Personally I don't drink the stuff

Suggestion - a thermos flask containing fresh ground fresh filtered coffee...
