Note to Companies: When touting your "excellent" benefits on your website? Having the fact that there's coffee in the breakroom on there makes it look like you're scrambling for nice things to say. Which makes it sound like your benefits aren't so "excellent". Even if they are.

Mostly lurking...
But, meara, maybe it's one of those fancy, schmancy new coffee makers that makes fresh, individual cups!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah! And maybe it uses water from the Fountain of Youth!

Y'know, when I first started at my last company, the new individual-pod coffee maker was Big News. And it was yummy. But we broke it, probably because it wasn't meant for such heavy use. And the next kind they got was not nearly so yummy. It was very sad....but didn't make a difference in terms of if I wanted to work there or not! (Maybe it made a difference in my caffeine addiction, or lack thereof. Or money spent at Starbucks...)

The big plus about this job (where I used to temp frequently back in my temping days) is that they have a subsidized cafeteria.
So I just made use of their sandwich bar: whole wheat bread, big scoop of tuna, mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onion. $2.22.
This same sandwich costs about $5 at the Starbucks downstairs.
The best, though, is their hofbrau line. Different featured roast every day: ham, turkey, roast beef. Every once in a while they do a lamb and it makes the best sandwich ever.

Oh how I still miss the Schwab-ateria and the salad bar therein and, especially, potato pancake day.

For some reason I'm picturing a gang of Starbucks thugs entering your cafeteria and smashing the place up....

I was expecting you to say that they serve beer. And I would have died from jealousy.
