Associates...How much for Coffee ???

[Escapee]

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

I thought they used it to create an extra 240 managers jobs instead.

I heard recently that some bright technician/engineer in my old franchise said "we can't get all the equipment on our estate cars to do customer visits as well as network duties"

The kind manager then said OK, you will all lose your cars and get vans! I heard the person who brought it up is not very popular with the other tech's atm.

Thats the last thing they need, one of their own giving extra help in shafting them.

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

I'd find out how much he uses, first, Jules

What do you suggest as a reasonable amount to charge for tea/coffee ?
15p seems reasonable, at least until you try it. I pay 50p for a teabag cup, sugar and milk in the canteen rather than buying it from the vending machines.

How is this not NTL bashing? The coffee is awful.

That's scathing criticism, that is.

Because the canteens and machines are not run by ntl? I would have thought given your location you would have known this ?

[The Diplomat]

So is the ntl coffee tasteless and in need of a few sweeteners to make it palatable?

hey, i LIKE that vending machine coffee only 2problems with it - 15p IS abit steep for 2 mouthfuls of coffee, and the state of the machines at matrix court....

you got 4 coffee machines in the main vending area - and each has its own quirk that strikes occassionally - half a cup of coffee, luke warm coffee, no sugar and the last sometimes leaves out the actual coffee bit.... throw in the fact that all of them sometimes forget to provide a cup to pour it into, and you have a cheap lottery every time you go for a drink

I don't think anyone will object to 15p for tea/coffee/some kind of knocked-together substance which passes for either, but what I think gets to people is when it was previously free, as it was in Matrix Court.

[The Milkman]

Imagine the uproar if we banged up the price's by the same precentage as our coffee ha !

(well thats if you call tasteless, plastic excuse for a warm beverage, coffee)

The vimto was always welcome though on a warm day.

Oh and Jules, what you charging for Coffee after the toilet breaks ?

[Jules]

Coffee is free in my house and I have never had any complaints about it

<snip>worthy cause

the charter for this has to be a doozy - is it one of those Charity scams?
