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.

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.

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

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

e
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
