use the coffee machine unless our cafeteria is closed Chat Icon nice huh?

instead of the pods, why don't they just get an el cheapo coffee maker if they want to keep costs down? the pods don't taste any better anway IMO.

its a pod coffee maker - Keurig. I imagine those coffee and tea pods cost a lot. so why don't they just get a regular coffee maker. Chat Icon

the admin told me that they're trying to keep costs down.

I would imagine that nobody wants to clean out the pot so the pods make sense for convenience. I think it's silly..having those kind of rules. Only allowed to use it when the cafe is closed. Then don't have it at all!

I sit right near the excutive offices... no other area in the building has free coffee. the admins told when I first started to help myself. a few other non execs use it too, but I guess we're abusing it.

why don't they just shut off the CAC to save money? you can hang meat in here
