    In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.

    About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn’t quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.

    Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y’all have maintained?

      We still have coffee and creamer, but it’s the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don’t have, but I’m trying to cut that shit outta my life so that’s probably for the best.

      I’ve worked at engineering offices here in Australia that provided actual full on espresso machines. I don’t get that now I’m in the public service.
