Picture this:

All the coffee machines at your place of work are filled with decaf. That's what they dispense, no matter how many times you type in A83 Strong.

Would productivity suffer?

Not only would productivity suffer, managment or whatever fool did it would suffer.Greatly.

I've never understood decaf coffee, what is the point of coffe without caffeine?!:confused:

Although I don't drink coffee (a hush falls over the crowd...a programmer that doesn't drink coffee?), I know that most people I work with may actually die or go into convulsions or something should the coffee be taken away...

That's why I drink Coke...I bring it myself and there is no risk so long as I grocery shop often enough...and someday my leg will stop shaking too...

Sorry.... "Waking up" and "to decaf" are mutually exclusive phrases.

Please pass the expresso and try again....

I don't know if productivity would suffer, but whoever filled the machines most certainly would. :mad:

No doubt.

I'm against coffee. Caffeine is a drug. If you need it to stay awake then you have a problem. I function perfectly well without coffee because I never got locked into its vicious circle of dependency. I don't think that productivity would suffer without caffeine. That said, I don't think coffee should be illegal.

Yeah, it's like "non-alcoholic beer"!

They would never get away with switching the beer at work to non-alcholic beer*looks nervously from side to side and slides bottle back under desk*:mad:

I would never have beer at work. How would I fit a sixpack next to the big bottle of Sky and my orange juice?

No, I bring coffee in a travel mug from Starbucks, so it's not a problem.
Actually, my dad's company got its vending machines after they deunionized...

coffee smells, looks and most likely tastes like runny shit


why the fuck people put it into their system is beyond me

though have to say was a funny week when i swapped all the reg coffee in the ouse for decaff and swapped back again at the end of it

Yes, because I would quit.

If I knew who you were, I'd chop off your hands out of principle. Since I don't know who you are, may I convince you to chop off your own hands? Tough to do, I know... but you're clever, aren't you? Oh yes... you're so very, very clever.

I broke my caffine addiction when I got pregnant, and had just dreadful headaches and was tired all the time for a while. I've been trying to avoid caffiene ever since, at least much of it... it's just so hard because I like caffiene drinks. Just not coffee, which smells wonderful, but does not taste correspondingly wonderful.

Why do people like coffee? It smells nice but it's a real let-down when you actually raise it to your mouth and taste it.

I don't but a lot of people I work with do (but they fund it themselves). Productivity would decrease. I go for Mountain Dew Code Red when I need caffine.

Do people have to pay for the coffee in their workplaces? Tea & coffee have been freely supplied at all of the places where I've worked.

To answer the question, productivity would die in the arse.
