Update on the Creamer Caper

Today I sent out the email below to our building regarding the Creamer incident:

Subject: We have something in common...

Body: We all love Sugar Free Flavored Coffee-Mate Creamer!

Annie and I have been sharing the purchasing responsibilities for the past few months but have noticed that we are going through them at a more rapid pace lately. After deploying the fairly sophisticated tracking method of marking the date purchased on the lid with a Sharpie, we were able to deduce that we've reached the consumption rate of one bottle every 2.5 days (equivalent to $28.72 p/month).

We are pleased to share and would only ask for a nominal donation to keep our mutual coffee habits alive and well and the peeps of GCP #4 awake and happy.

A marked cup has been placed in the breakroom.

Thank you,
Stef & Annie

Responses:
  • Stephanie, I don't drink coffee, but would be more than happy to help contribute to the replacement of the "goods".
  • Sorry, I do not drink coffee here.

    We will need to increase the non dairy budget line by 5% instead of the traditional 3%

  • Have you seen the characters in the comic strip Family Circus "Not Me" and "Ida Know"? Sounds like they may have escaped Toontowne.
    I've always said that if the almighty had intended for coffee to be consumed with sugar and cream he would have put it in the bean.
    With that said does that apply to the artificial stuff?????
