[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 2475113, member: 5110"] Here's my coffee story: OkTribalCop and myself used to work together as security at the FAA Center. We were working the commercial entrance (ILS North for those familiar with the center) where we checked in construction workers, delivery drivers, copy repairmen, etc. The building also was where all the higher supervisors' offices were. Our post supervisor wanted to suck up to all the higher ups so he brings a coffee maker and coffee into our office and makes coffee every morning for them. It's his machine, he's buying the coffee and none of us actually working there drink coffee including him. Well, it worked and he was promoted to a night shift supervisor. I was promoted to his spot. The morning supervisor comes in one morning right after I'd been promoted and the coffee pot is empty. He (dick) proceeds to tell me part of my job is to make coffee for the people in the building (meaning him and the other supervisors). So it begins... I make the coffee. OkTribalCop and I make the coffee every morning after that. We get there at 5:30 A.M. The morning shift supervisors come in at 7 A.M. Every morning there is a fresh pot waiting. After bitching about making coffee, some of my coworkers told me to file a grievance. We were union. I told them no, I'd rather just make the coffee myself. Every morning we walk the pot of old coffee with however much is left in it from the day before over to the water fountain and top it off with fresh water. We don't dump the old coffee. We recycle. We then pour it into the coffee grounds and filter from the day prior. Pot runs out? No problem. Let me make another for you. Over probably a year (until the night supervisor left the job and took the maker with him), the grounds and filter were maybe changed twice (when someone happened to catch it). I think one time we make it 6-7 months on the same stuff. It was like a hockey puck. There was only the outer edge of filter left. I think there was **** growing in it after the first few weeks. Maybe once a month we'd add a spoon full of fresh grounds to the hockey puck of old crap. Truck drivers and construction workers would come in and ask if they could have a cup. We didn't have cups so we told them if they brought in their cup, the could have as much as they wanted. We did warn the guests that we "heard" it wasn't very good. They always took it although some of the looks on their faces after a sip was priceless. Moral of the story: Don't have non-coffee drinkers make your coffee. [/QUOTE]
