Counterpoint: 100 million for coffee in a year sounds astronomical, even for the 120k employees intel has. Like, what are they paying for, doordash starbucks?
That’s $3.33 per employee per work day, assuming 50 5-day weeks per year. Seems a bit high to me, but not exorbitant. If the figure included things that they’re not reinstating (like free fruit) then that would make sense.
You can get over 500g of ground coffee for that price. It absolutely is exorbitant
That does not include the machines that make it on demand which you kinda need for an office that size nor servicing them which you ABSOLUTELY need.
It's still overpriced like all service contracts are....but my office would riot if we replaced the machines with traditional brewers. Nobody wants to make (or wait for) coffee at the office. And nobody wants to drink the nasty burnt liquid when it's been sitting there all day
