What no beverages does to a mf

> My cubicle neighbor and I got a mutual little fridge for our beverages, it’s great.
[ "What no beverages does to a mf" ]
> We hid this huge toaster oven with a grill on top and a rotisserie attachment under our main work bench for a very long time when I was nightshift maintance. No one seemed to ask why we had a chicken in the ops office freeze or fridge.

> Had a moment of weakness, haha. Tired of getting called out about not having a coffee. Windchime, where's your coffee? Windchime, this meeting is 3 hours so don't forget your coffee. Omg, did you finish your coffee already? Do you need to go get another one? Cuz it's totally fine, windchime, we already have our coffee so we can hold the fort down while you go get yours.

I guarantee that your superiors do not give half a shit that you don't drink coffee, nor do they care that your coworkers spend time making coffee. Being the guy who thinks everybody needs to be busting their ass 24/7 does not put you in a good light, as it doesn't sound like you're in management. This doesn't sound like an issue with company culture, it sounds like a superiority complex. Will say though, very unpopular opinion. Well done lol

> Okay? This post is so hilarious but just to play along, I have anxiety and autism so a helpful and harmless fixation for me to self regulate is to have a drink with me ready for me to use. Lots of reasons why this helps me. So it’s not just for physical maintenance, but for psychological regulation for me.

> While I think you’re moderately obsessing here, I do agree that the whole concept of people carrying around Starbuck’s cups like some sort of badge on a daily basis is extremely annoying. I love coffee, drink it every day in a variety of forms. But simply put, Starbuck’s is largely over-burnt dark roast and stupidly overpriced. When I see a group of 20-somethings all carrying their $6-$8 branded coffees coming in for their $35-$45k a year job I just have to take my hat off to the power of brand marketing. It’s not good coffee, plain and simple.
