Unless of course you pack your lunch and a snack at break time which will be cheaper all around. It always has been and always will be cheaper to pack your own.
I don't get this thinking you're having about this DA. If you want a pop and your company has a vending machine that sells pop for however much, it will be cheaper for you to buy that pop there rather than drive up to the store, spending money on the gas and buying a pop at the store which will cost about the same or more than what your company offers. What it sounds like you're saying is that you would rather pay $2.00 for a pop rather than pay $1.50 just because you company will get .30 cents.
Now add that up over the course of a year.
I pack my lunch and drinks.
You're right though. The cost of a drive to the store or McDee's over the course of a year, even only 2 or 3x a week is ridiculous.
Listen, I'm just pointing out that we give our hard earned money right back to the company when we use the vending machines at work. Yeah, mostly they only get a percentage ( sometimes it's all profit if they're the vendor as well). If that's what you wanna do, fine. Perhaps though, looking at it this way, one may be less inclined to lose a portion of their pay before even leaving the building.
-That which we need most, will be found where we want to visit least.-
