At work on Thursday, we were notified that our lowly paid tea lady was going to be not more from the start of the new financial year. She came around about 10-00hrs, 1-sh and 3pm-ish, cakes pm, cream ones, yummy. The tea/coffe cost 10p and cream cake 40p and a sandwich from 80p, supported by our employer.
She was an old bag with no smile, always looking angry, no thanks or anything and always moaning and very slow. I won't tell you her nickname
We will miss the tea trolley and not the tea lady - but we will get hot and cold drink machines and snack machines.
Talking to cousins, friends/etc yesterday, tea trolleys, lady are a thing of the past. The one at my first work pace over 20 years ago was nice, but replaced by a motiveless loser and she got the sack, not sure why, good riddance. She was also late some morning and I had report her as she was just standing around talking to the toilet cleanner, that did the trick.
Tea trollies have their place as it means you don't have to go out if you don't want to. However, the price must be competitive, but paying the tea lady the minumum wage can't be justified imo as it can't be cost effect.
Do you have a tea trolley - or is this all in the past?
Btw, expecting guests from 18-00, so HNY to those that PM met
Btw, at my brothers office set on a tech industrial estate they have a "snack Waggon" come around twice daily. But tea and coffee is a qid, and cakes 1 quod and cold sandwich cheapest is 2 quid, but you can get hot foo - yummy
