The Daily Grind

This morning, the Corporate Essentials Blog feels a little more like a local police blotter, but we thought it was a good opportunity to point out just how important a good relationship with your Office Coffee Service provider could be. According to the Orlando Sentinel, a South Florida man was sentenced Monday to a year in federal prison for his role in a national coffee-vending machine business fraud. The crime: misleading victims about how much money they would make from a business proposal to buy coffee machines in high-traffic locations. Victims testified they lost between $15,000 and $192,000 because the machines were placed in poor sales area or never arrived at all.Now, let us be totally clear, we’re not accusing anyone of fraud, but as a customer, you should know that you always have the best equipment to suit your needs.

Perfect! How much do you think you spend in a year on coffee? Does $500 a year sound a little low, or just about right? No? You don’t think you spend that much? Well, according to a newly released Workonomix Survey from Accounting Principals, half of the America Workforce spends about $20 a week on coffee for a grand total of more than $1,000 per year!
