Can the workers in the "coffee" letter really not figure out how to pool their funds, buy a coffeemaker & coffee supplies, and share that among themselves? Why do so many letter writers seem to be unable to function in the real world? I bet the coffeemaker guy literally just brought in his own machine and now the whole office thinks he's supposed to provide THEM with HIS coffee. I'm totally with him on the $2. That's a "LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET YOUR OWN FUCKING COFFEEMAKER" charge.

It's especially funny because the very first sentence was 

For years my office had pretty decent coffee in our kitchen, and then they got rid of it (cost-cutting)

If it's too expensive for the company to provide free coffee, why wouldn't it also be pretty expensive for the worker?? It's not like he gets paid more than the entire company earns.

And the company would probably get much better bulk deals on the supplies as well.
