Who provided the initial capital for the start-up of the venture?
Who is responsible for restocking etc? Who decides what to buy? Is this all done freely in their own time?
Is payment done on a trust basis or does your unit have a tuck shop duty? (And was it ringfenced in any revision activity?)
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Boycott the coffee machines.
It started about 15 years ago on a very small scale...a couple of packs of cans,a box of crisps and mars bars...tbh i can't remember where the initial cash came from but it has just evolved slowly over the years.We bought a fridge for it from our first-line fix money.clashcityrocker wrote:A very interesting idea.

Our H&S rep does the restocking in his own time...and works the till(Quality street tin)....management in the past gave him 10 minutes extra prep time to cover his "shopkeeper duties" but that has been eroded since 2007.

Sometimes the little man in the machine, who actually provides the "water" for the brews, forgets to poke your change out - ever wondered why you don't need a spoon to stir it with?.............................
