Boycott the coffee machines.

Post by mclovin »

Quadrant put ours up from 35p to 40p today, all offices will follow suit.

Dont the feckers know we're in the midst of a recession, we all have to cut our cloth accordingly, this is blatantly picking on the working class, the last bastion of grace we have, a nice warm cup of tea/coffee/soup before we are relentlessly smacked over the head with propaganda.

We all need to rise against this capatalst nonsence and make a stand.

From now on Im boycotting the machine and making my own, mind I only have 1 per day so not too much of a stretch for me, some people are knocking out 4 or 5 cups of the stuff before 7am.

DONT BUY FROM THE MACHINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you got yourselves organised as an office you could buy tea and coffee in bulk and it probably wouldn't cost more than 5p/cup.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Apparently some well organised offices are using their first line fix to subsidise the coffee machines with some machine prices down to 15p.

I have tried several times to sort this out for our office via the area manager etc but no luck so far.
