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.
