Does your place of employment charge you for coffee?!


Question: My company provided coffee free. But if you wanted drinking water you had to pay. The water was brought in in jugs from a water company. I worked in an office and we were on the phones a lot so people got thirsty. You were not obligated to chip in. There were always huge office fights because people who would not chip in for the water would drink it. It was two dollars a month for water. Which I thought was very cheap. There were always those who would bring a jug or bottle from home and fill it a few times a day and not pay. Then we would be out of water. So finally no one said they were going to pay for the water or drink it. Since I ran the place and had my own office, I paid for the water and I kept the water cooler in my office. I showed them who was the boss. I guess I got off the subject of coffee. But yes we had free coffee, creamer and sugar. I did not drink coffee, so I would not make coffee. I told these coffee drinkers. You want coffee make it yourself. I had more important things to do then go in the break room and make coffee.

no
Yes, 20 cents a cup, for coffee, hot chocolate, cider, or tea.
Where I work now, coffee and tea and hot chocolate are free. But this is the only place I've ever worked where that's true.
Yes...50 cents a cup, but you are not obligated to buy it.
Yes, the only place at our office that sells it is the cafeteria so you have to buy it, but I'm not sure how much it is because I don't drink it...
Yes, the only thing not supplied is cups and creamers.
Other places I worked had "coffee clubs" drinkers paid $1 per week and Bring Your Own Cup.
yes
We have to bring our own. No coffee is provided either free or for sale.
