Ordering your office snacks and drinks
Do you feel as though you are constantly making quick shopping trips to top up on tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and soft drinks? Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk/) can come to your aid by delivering all of your office drinks and snacks with your stationary order. This will mean no one has to call at the shop on their way to work, or make a special trip during the day.
Often it is the person who passes the supermarket on their way to work, or who goes to the local shop for lunch every day who has the responsibilty of restocking drink making equipment and biscuits or snacks. Many employers expect staff to provide their own supplies, but this can lead to the same employees restocking or being out of pocket every week. Milk, particularly, runs out very quickly and often won’t keep over the weekend. To resolve any issues, some businesses run a ‘brew kitty‘ into which each colleague pays a small amount and the tea, coffee and milk are bought from the fund. This is not a complete solution though, as some people don’t drink as much throughout the day as others, and feel that they should be paying less, or would prefer a different drink to everyone else and end up bringing their own in as well as having paid into the kitty.
For people who like a hot drink but prefer not to drink caffeine, it is easy to get frustrated with colleagues who expect to drink endless cups of caffeinated coffee or tea, and don’t think that decaff should be bought from their budget. Rebel Office Supplies can provide hot chocolate or decaffeinated drinks for everyone’s enjoyment.
Staff leaving the office during the day sometimes cant be helped, and often the supplies run is made part of a delivery or post trip. It does add considerable time to most journeys though, when an extra stop has to be made, and normally at least half an hour is taken up by parking, shopping and waiting at the checkout for service. Many employers may feel that staff take advantage of the chance to leave work for office supplies, and enjoy taking as long as possible. The overall effect of small trips throughout the year can be reduced productivity and bad feelings between staff.
Having a vending machine is another popular solution, and can alleviate a lot of office debate by requiring all staff to purchase individual drinks. Cold drinks, snacks, sachets and refills can be delivered with your stationary order and are available from http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk/.
