Has anyone noticed.......

......whether their snack or drink or coffee dispensing machines have been refilled or maintained in offices that supported industrial action. Just think about it and try to remember when they ran out. Our snack machine never runs out but has been empty for some days now - is this deliberate?

The vending machine probably got emptied by managers to fulfill their large appetites and probably because they would have had free reign of it. Money isn't enough theyv'e got to take anything thats going.

The machines should be restocked by the companies hired to maintain them and run the canteens (if your office has one) Quadrant Catering is the company that does that stuff i believe

FFS, I don't know why any of you are still using the vending machines, buy yourselves a flask and bring in your own tea/coffee and get down to your local supermarket and take advantage of their multipack offers for crisps, coke and chocolate and that way you'll never have to put up with that overpriced crap from those vending machines.
