From tiny companies of five people, to huge companies of five hundred thousand, I have never worked in an office where you couldn’t get a brew.

But then, I am British. Take the tea away and it’s riots (or at the least some quiet complaining)

I wish people would drink more tea and less lead around here.

As someone who works in an electronics plant, there are definitely days where I just crave a nice refreshing slurp from the leaded solder pot.

Worked for an American Fortune 100 company that had a community funded coffee station when I started. Got a tiny styrofoam cup of Folgers coffee for $0.25. Eventually they had stations that provided free coffee, but that was years later.

Nah, the NSA takes very good care of its employees. They get free everything.

Where I work used to have free coffee and tea until a newspaper made a story about how we were lazy and spent all our time drinking coffee and wasting money so my organization fully removed complimentary beverages ever since. The floor warden walks around with a bucket collecting change and donations to get new hand soap in the kitchen. It’s so annoying.

As it should be. If Intel is spending that much, that better be Yorkshire Gold.
