Day-One Disaster The Great Office Coffee Bean Heist

· 2 min read

New hire walks in bright-eyed. Leaves wide-eyed. In between? A felony against caffeine.

TL;DR

Brand new employee learns the coffee is “free for everyone.” Interprets this as: “I personally own all coffee now.”
Puts BOTH giant Starbucks bean bags into her purse. Returns next day. Gets fired before the first sip. Office morale: shaken but united.

The Scene

It’s onboarding day. New Hire seems a little wired (ironically, pre-coffee). She spots two glorious, unopened bags of Starbucks beans in the break room.

“Whose are these?”
“They’re for everyone. Company buys coffee.”
“Cool.”

Narrator: It was not, in fact, cool.
